Muse & Co. Outdoors is happy to announce that we are now providing installation services for people who need a little help with their DIY van builds.

A camper van buildout is a huge project, requiring a wide range of expertise and tools. Carpentry, 12V electrical know-how, plumbing, and even metal work are all requisite skills when building out a Sprinter van.

Sometimes, DIY builders encounter a “project within the project” that seems a little too daunting to take on alone.

Whether you need to cut a large opening in your van to install a window, need help installing a complex system such as a heater, or want to have some accessories mounted to the exterior of your van, Muse & CO. Outdoors can help!

Why Choose a Professional Installer for Certain Projects?

We get it—you chose to build your van yourself, and you want the project to be yours. But sometimes, doing it yourself means uncertainty as to whether you are going to make a major error that results in damage to your van, safety concerns, or longevity issues.

Below you will find some examples of projects and reasoning for why people often opt to go with a professional installer for these aspects of their van builds.

High-Risk Projects

Sometimes, the consequences of messing up a project on your van are too great to risk doing it yourself.

Every DIY builder eventually encounters the “I’m about to cut a giant hole in my van” moment. Whether it’s a roof fan, an AC unit, windows, or even ducting for a heater, there are some projects where you really only get one chance to do it right.

Hiring a professional parts installer like Muse & Co. Outdoors gives you peace of mind that these high-risk projects are going to be completed with precision. The old adage “Do it once, do it right” certainly applies to these projects. We use the highest quality sealants and tools to ensure that our installations will last for years without issue.

Safety Concerns

Other times, a project may seem relatively straightforward—but getting it wrong could have dire consequences.

Heaters, for example, must be properly vented to the outside of the van, and all electrical and gas connections must be perfect—or the risk of toxic carbon monoxide build-up or fire becomes an issue.

Other parts installed on the chassis of the van itself, such as suspension upgrades, wheels, and tires, all play a major role in the safe operation of the van.

Muse & Co. Outdoors installs all parts in accordance with the highest standards to ensure that no safety concerns arise as you use the van.

Efficiency

A van build is a massive undertaking, and no matter how well you plan the project, things always end up taking longer than you would have hoped.

Sometimes, life and work get in the way of moving along with the project as quickly as you want to. In these instances, it can be great to have a professional take care of some of your build while you take care of the other aspects of life.
