INSTALLATION DETAILS

  1. Unpack install kit and bag
  2. Remove the side panels and set aside.
  3. Determine where on the L-Track you want to install the bag.
  4. Starting on the ceiling
    1. Set the first bolt 2 inches in from the outside of bag position on the ceiling L-Track
      1. Use a rubber grommet to hold the bolt in the L-Track
    2. Measure 21 inches from the center of the first bolt to set the center bolt
      1. Use a rubber grommet to hold the bolt in the L-Track
    3. Measure 21 inches from the center of the second bolt to set the outside bolt
      1. Use a rubber grommet to hold the bolt in the L-Track
        1. Tip if the rubber washers aren't holding the bolt tight enough a little piece of painters tape works wonders to keep the bolt in place while you are securing the bag. 
    4. Starting from the center, bring the bag to the ceiling and use a large washer and nut to secure the center ceiling hole.
      1. Follow with mounting the bag on the two outside ceiling bolts using the remaining 2 washers and nuts.
  5. Next beginning on the wall track work from the middle to the outsides, install 3 bolts into the L-Track aligning with the holes on the bags.
    1. Install a washer over the bag on each bolt and secure a nut on all three bolts with a 9/16th or 14mm socket.
  6. Lastly install the rigid side panels.  
    1. Notice the inserts are directional so ensure you have them in the right orientation. 
    2. Slip the top of the panel in first behind the knob nut and working around the lower nut
    3. Confirm that the panel is snug to the outside wall of the Mule bag and is tight to the corners.
  7. Repeat for multiple bags.

NOTE: The videos below show old hardware but the mounting principals are still helpful. Current hardware does not include knobs, only the L-track stud with nut, and washers. We find this mounting solution to be easier to install and lower profile in the bag.

If you have an existing Adventure Wagon RUV kit installed in your van all you need to do is screw the MULE to the existing RUV track on the ceiling and side walls using the included hardware that came with your order.

If you do not have the Adventure Wagon RUV kit installed in your van then here is a video describing where you would mount your own L Track in a Sprinter van:
