Installation Guide
Step-by-step instructions for installing your RANGE V3 bed system into your van.
Part 1
Install the vertical brackets on both sides of your van
Your kit includes 3 stiffener brackets. These are optional and not necessary for standard bed configurations. They are provided to future-proof the mounts and will allow the mounts to be used with single-sided beds and cantilever designs. If used, these brackets should be installed first.
Take the front vertical bracket for the Driver's Side of the van. There are 2 larger holes used to align the bracket with the existing holes in the van. Ensuring the bracket is facing the correct direction, choose the appropriate hole for your vehicle:
Use one of the golden rivnuts provided to hold the bracket in place temporarily while you confirm alignment.
Ensure the bracket is vertical. You will find that one of the two available rivnut holes will align with an existing hole in your vehicle. Install one of the golden rivets into this hole. Your front bracket should now be held in place and correctly aligned.
Take the rear driver's side bracket. Using the same method as the front, align and install the bracket using the golden rivnut. Note: there is no bottom rivnut hole — the van's body will ensure correct alignment of the bracket.
Following the order shown in the guide, secure the bracket to the wall with self-drilling screws:
Use a drill with a 3/16" drill bit to drill through all remaining holes in both the front and rear brackets.
Repeat this entire process on the passenger side of the van. For the rear mount, use the floor-to-hole measurement to ensure the brackets are installed level with one another.
Part 2A
For North South Fixed and North South Sliding configurations
Pre-install the provided M8 16mm T-nuts into the bed panels as shown in the guide.
Flip each bed panel and slide the aluminium rail over the T-nuts installed in Step 1. Set the rails with an even gap on either end.
With the bed panels still upside down, tighten at least one of the bolts on each rail to lock the rails in place.
Flip the panels back over and tighten the remaining bolts.
Place the bed panels into the van with the mountain logo facing up, as shown in the guide.
Use the 4 joiner plates provided to connect the panels together. Slide the T-nuts into the aluminum rails (the rails that are touching). Connect the Front and Rear panels to the Mid panel using the joiner plate locations marked in the guide.
Add the side extensions. If you did not order the wall system, these extensions are provided oversized and may need to be trimmed to fit your application. Using the provided M6 bolts, secure the side extensions to the main bed frame using the appropriate hole pattern for your setup.
With fasteners pre-installed, slide the rails into place. If needed, shift the side extensions to fit your walls. A gap between the main bed and side extensions is acceptable. When placement is correct, tighten down all 8 bolts.
Drop the 4 M6 × 90mm bolts through the slots provided in the bed panels. These bolts connect the bed panels to the horizontal brackets installed earlier. With a helper, place the large washer onto the M6 × 90mm bolt, then the nut. Tighten these nuts lightly.
Take the 4 clamp brackets, 4 M8 T-slot nuts and 4 M8 bolts. Roll the 4 T-slot nuts into the bottom side of the cross rails. Thread the M8 bolts through each clamp bracket and tighten a few turns. Finally, slide the clamp bracket along the rail until it overlaps the cross beam and tighten the M8 bolts.
Part 2B
For East/West (sideways) bed configurations
Pre-install the provided M8 16mm T-nuts in the Rear panel only, as shown in the guide.
Flip the bed panel and slide the aluminium rail over the T-nuts installed in Step 1. Set the rails with an even gap on either end. With the panel still upside down, tighten at least one bolt on each rail to lock. Flip back over and tighten remaining bolts.
Lay this panel in the van with the castle profile aligned as shown. The rear and mid panel will align.
Slide the mid panel forward until aligned. Roll in 3 M8 T-nuts level with the holes, then slide the mid panel back into its final position.
Take one of the cross rails and slide it up to the corresponding cross rail already installed in the mid panel. Leave this loose in place.
Take the front section and pre-install the fasteners as highlighted in the guide.
Slide the front section back until it almost overlaps the loose rail installed in Step 9. Install M8 roll-in T-nuts level with the holes in the front panel, then slide the front panel over the top and secure with M8 bolts.
Using 4 M8 roll-in T-slot nuts and 4 M8 bolts, attach the latch to the front-most 8 holes.
Take the 4 clamp brackets, 4 M8 T-slot nuts and 4 M8 bolts. Roll the 4 T-slot nuts into the bottom side of the cross rails. Install these clamps on the non-sliding cross rails only. Thread the M8 bolts through each clamp bracket and tighten a few turns. Slide the clamp bracket along the rail until it overlaps the cross beam, then tighten the M8 bolts.
