      Frequently Asked Questions

      How does TNTvans mount inside your van?

      The TNTvans product is engineered with many mounting locations to give the user the needed flexibility to work with and around the their van floors and walls. Each unit comes with all the hardware the customer needs to mount the units into the van. The install kit comes with your choice of plus nuts, or wood inserts. These are anchors that will create a place to insert a bolt. Plus nuts are for the metal floor in your van. Wood inserts are for a wood floor. Once these anchors are installed, the TNTvans units will bolt into place in just a few minutes. Demonstration video of Wood Inserts and Plut Nuts being installed.

      If desired, the customer may also run a bolt through the supplied hardware kit and floor instead of using an anchor. Our accessories menu has install kits if you want more or if want to change your installation style later down the road.

      Can I install my van conversion interior before I install the van inuslation and walls?

      Yes! TNTvans camper van conversion kits are products that bolt to the floor. Therefore, you can easily install your units now and then come back later to install all of the insulations, windows and van wall liners.

      How does the TNTvans interior remove?

      Most customers install anchors into their floors. Each unit can be unbolted from these anchors in just a few minutes.

      Is installation available?

      Yes! We have an authorized TNTvans dealer right here in St. George, Utah. I also offer a Premium "At Your Home" Remote Installation Service. You can purchase these services on the Installation Web Page. Inquire for scheduling.

      Do I need professional help to install TNTvans into my van?

      No. Every piece comes with step by step instructions with large colorful pictures. And if there is any question about the assembly or install, I am available by email, phone, and facetime to help.

      How do I receive my van conversion kit?

      Every product I make packs down into a reasonable sized box and will be delivered by UPS. There will be no heavy palleted crates sent to you.

      What is the weight capacity of the bed system?

      The Bed System was designed to hold multiple adults. The system was originally tested with a family of 4. We then put 600 lbs. of dead weight in the center of two Bed Bridges just to show off how strong it is.

      How long does it take to assemble my kit?

      Most units assemble in just under an hour but the Sink System is the most complicated and could take up to 1.5 hours.

      Can I build my van in one day?

      Yes. Once the anchors are installed, you can bolt and unbolt your units quickly. Here is a blog about how I quickly insulated and walled my Sprinter van.

      What tools do I need?

      For assembly: 2mm hex key, 3 mm hex key, 8mm socket
      For van install: 6mm hex key, 3/8" drill bit, drill

      What makes TNTvans units and system so strong and stiff?

      AllTNTvans units are framed with thick aluminum material and redundant bracing. There are no screws or wood used in any structural joints. All units are are engineered to be bolted to each other to add extra rigidity to the entire interior system.

      Can I change the placement of the units in my van if I change my mind later?

      Yes! You can easily install more anchors anywhere else in your van and bolt down aTNTvans product. If you want to change your anchors types, you can do that as well. I can mail you additional floor installation kits anytime.

      Yes! Everything can un-bolted quickly and re-installed in another van that same day.

      It takes about 2 hours to install the anchors for an entire van conversion kit. Once the anchors are installed, you can bolt in your entire kit in less than an hour.

      Do you make cushions?

      I use CustomCushions.com to order all my cushions. They are USA made and a great company to work with. You can order a cushion through my website or just go straight to them and design your own cushion.

      Where is your demo van?

      I have a demo van available to see anytime in St. George, Utah.
