You should consider a separate number plate on the rear screen.

The Caravanstore isn't designed for a 4WD application but really to be mounted on the side of a caravan where it slides into a length of sail track (which is how I mounted it on my son's caravan).

I used it because I had it. To mount it, I pop-riveted a length of sail track extrusion to a suitable length of Unistrut channel I had lying about. The pic shows it slid back a bit for illustration purposes.

To mount the Unistrut channel on the roof tray, I had a couple of 75x50x50mm angle brackets which I bolted to the tray with 8mm bolts into threaded steel plates I made up.

The Unistrut is bolted to the brackets with 10mm bolts into Unistrut clamp plates in the channel.

The plates are 20mm x 50mm x 5mm and slide into channels in the roof tray.

The Caravanstore is meant to lay against the wall of the van which supports the horizontal arms of the awning. As mine wasn't mounted this way, I had to weld a couple of tabs onto the Unistrut to act as backstops to the above arms. Hopefully my pics will make it clearer.

And probably the most expensive too. I recon the foot pack for the RRS would fit.
