For new van purchase, one can get the vehicle with parallel side rails but their cross beams are listed as an optional purchase. (like on a Uplander / Montana vans). If looking for cross rails, one might want to surf E-Bay. I often see cross rails for $125 (or so) on E-Bay.
If looking to add your own parallel side rails, you may want to visit a few auto wrecking yards in your area. If there's a "totaled" 2005+ Uplander or Montana, they might will you its Roof Railing system as well. Hopefully, at a discounted price. And, they may have a few vans with cross members as well.
If you visit a few auto specialty stores, they may have a few "special order" books showing the many different roof racks for vans. For example, canoe/kayak, peddle bike, general cargo design roof rack systems. Not too sure if reasonable priced (from an auto specialty store) but their different design roof racks might spark a few other design considerations as well.
Hope this helps..
