PRE-INSTALLATION GUIDE

It’s best to make sure your van is completely ready before we install or deliver your new conversion kit. To better understand what’s required, follow our Pre-Installation Guide to help you get the most out of your conversion. We provide same-day installations for our conversion kits, aiming to complete all installations within 30 minutes. Delivery, collection and installation information can be found in our Resources Section. If your van isn’t quite ready for installation and still requires ongoing work, then you’re welcome to reserve a unit with a 50% downpayment. Get in touch to arrange this and just let us know when you’re ready for your installation!

Insulation & Wall-Lining

The unit width has been designed to fit within vans wall-lined with 6mm thick carpeted plywood paneling. The 6mm plywood panels are usually supplied as stock panels with your van, but they can also be purchased online if you do not already own a set. Carpeting the panels is optional. The unit has been designed to fit this type of wall lining as it’s most commonly found within vans. As such, timber cladded walls may be incompatible with our conversion kits as the cladding reduces the internal width of your van. To purchase van lining bundle kits and other handy accessories, take a look at the Kiravans store.

THE FLOORPLAN

The unit bolts down to the 4 lashing points located towards the rear of your van. Ahead of your installation, please ensure that these lashing points are easily accessible. If they’re currently hidden, you’ll need to cut circular holes in the plywood or rubber floor lining to expose the bolt threads, which are located on the floor of your van. 

The minimum cutout diameter is 30mm. Make sure the lashing point threads line up with the holes being cut. The plastic cup inserts are optional extras and not essential to the installation. The unit is compatible with T5 & T6 SWB, LWB, 5 seater Kombi and Panel vans. 

SWITCHES & SOCKETS

If you wish to install USB ports or light switches in advance, please locate these 75cm from the floor and 40mm – 60cm from the rear door rubber seal – as shown in the image. This placement is the same for both sides of the van. These switches and sockets will be accessible through the side access storage compartments next to the bed. The product is also compatible with newer models which feature electric side doors motors, however, please let us know at the time of order if this applies to you. You will be prompted to inform us during checkout.

The unit can be easily removed, so if you want to add switches, ports, or even change your van, these installations can all be done at a later date. Please read through our Warranty Terms and Conditions to see how this may affect future warranty claims.
