Rooftop Vent Fan Installation

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. Learn more about the Maxxair 7500K fan here.

Pop-Top Installation

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.

Suspension Upgrades

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!

Solar and Electrical Installation

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.
