Vehicle Preparation
W
hen selecting a truck, remember the preferable vehicle for a Boxxer 421
installation is a cargo van with a heavy-duty suspension package and a half ton
capacity. If a fresh water tank is added, a three quarter ton or larger capacity van,
with a 2,400 pound payload capacity, is required.
TRUCK PREPARATION
The manufacturer recommends the installation of a spray-on bed liner in the vehicle
prior to installation of machine.
Be cautious when drilling any holes through the van floor. Many vans have
critical components mounted directly below the van floor that could be
damaged by a misplaced drill bit. (See Product Support Bulletins 92101, 94062,
and 94063 at the end of this manual.)
This provides ‘metal to cushion’ mounting rather than ‘metal to metal’ and makes for
an attractive van interior. It is highly recommended to install roof vents in vehicles
operated in hot weather locations. Roof vent positions are shown in Figure 1-1.
