Natural light drastically changes the look and feel of your camper van and allows you to look out at the world when the weather is less than favorable. We get it, cutting a hole in your brand new van can be very stressful, let us take the load off your shoulders and install these windows for you! Our techs have installed hundreds of windows in camper vans and we would be happy to get some sunshine into your vacation home on wheels. We stock CRL and Premier Products van windows. 

Keeping the air fresh in your camper van is an absolute must. If you're thinking about passing up on a rooftop fan, I hope this little snippet changes your mind. A van is essentially a small, mostly sealed metal box that does not ventilate by itself very well. People naturally create a large amount of humidity through perspiration and respiration and if you let that humidity linger, you will increase your potential for mold and mildew. Our fan of choice is the Maxxair 7500K which is remote controlled and can be operated in rain, snow, sleet and shine. This 10 blade fan moves 900 CFM keeping the air in your van as fresh as the great outdoors. Installed with stainless steel hardware and a ¾” MDF trim ring to ensure rigidity, the Maxxair fan is a great way to improve the comfort in your van for a fraction of the cost of an air conditioner.

Do you have a couple passengers in your van that need a place to sleep? The RRE pop-top is an excellent addition to your campervan, effectively turning your van into a two bedroom vacation home on wheels! Extremely easy to operate, this high quality pop-top is constructed from fiberglass and has a scissor style lifting mechanism with no less than 4 gas struts making this pop-top a breeze to open. Once open, the 24”x35” entrance provides ample space to enter the sleeping area that boasts a 79”x47” spring reinforced mattress. The tent material is flame retardant and has three zippered windows with mosquito nets to keep the air fresh and the mosquitos out! These pop-tops arrive without paint so you have the option to color match with your van or pick any wild color you can imagine! Learn more about the RRE pop-top here.

Did you get your van built out and now your van drives like a 1970’s station wagon? Well let us tell you that the stock suspension fails to provide a smooth and stable ride once you have a fully loaded van. A Vancompass suspension upgrade is designed to enhance the poor ride quality of your van. Not only will washboard roads feel much better, twisting mountain roads will no longer be a terrifying adventure. And if you really want to compliment the off road van look, complete your suspension upgrade with an aftermarket set of wheels and tires. With a multitude of options from Vancompass, reach out to a sales representative to see what will work best for you! 

Winter blues got you down? Enjoy mother nature year round in comfort with an Espar or Webasto fuel heater. Transform your van from a frozen tundra to a cozy cabin on wheels! This upgrade, in our opinion, is one of the best things you can do for your van. A heater truly makes your van feel like home and a high quality install by The Vansmith is the way to go. If altitude isn't a concern for you, you may want to go with the Webasto STC2000 or the Espar D2L as these models are slightly less expensive then their altitude compensating counterparts. But if you plan on spending time up in the mountains you will want to get a fuel heater that is altitude compensating. If you have a diesel van, the Espar S2 D2L is altitude compensating up to 9,900 feet and if you have a gasoline van, the Webasto Evo 40 will be the best option. Chat with a sales representative to find out what will work best for you!

Flares are delivered with primed gray finish to the exterior of the flare and require paint. We can get your flares perfectly color matched or pick a wild color of your choice! And for those who want a fully finished look, we offer our home built trim rings that maximize the space the Flarespace flare offers.

Electrical systems can be a bear if you have never done electrical work before and they do require some knowledge to build a safe and effective system. Although most of these systems are fairly simple, improperly gauged wires, poor crimps, loose connections, and mismatched components can result in reliability issues and can pose a potential fire hazard. The proper tools and know-how is a must and if you feel this is something you don't want to take on, we have a multitude of solutions available to power your adventurers. From simple rough wiring of the van, solar panel installs, to full electrical systems, we offer everything you'll need to get your van fully electrified.

One of the more useful additions to your camper van is the mighty roof rack, making the install of awnings, solar panels, ladders, lights, and storage boxes much easier. It also accomplishes the overland look everyone is looking for. Roof racks can be heavy and awkward to install so let us do what we do best! Installed with a fork lift, nobody needs to walk on the roof of your van scratching up your paint! Our roof racks of choice are the Freedom Vango, Aluminess, and the Flatline Vanco Racks. Although we can install any roof rack, there may be an additional charge for racks we have not yet installed due to the additional unforeseen labor.
