Upgrading a sprinter Winnebago Revel with the Roam Rigs Beatbox Blackbird

If you're into serious overlanding upgrades or just love a solid, well-engineered camper van component, you're going to love this one.

We recently installed the Roam Rigs Beatbox Blackbird inside a Sprinter Winnebago Revel, and we’re impressed. Right out of the box, the Blackbird is burly, thoughtfully built, and clearly designed for durability and function. It's the kind of product that feels like it belongs in a van that's actually going to get used hard—off-grid, off-road, and in the real world.

But beyond just the construction and quality of materials, one feature really stood out to us—and it’s something we wish every manufacturer would adopt…

A Smart Installer Certification Process

Inside the packaging was a certificate and checklist for the installer to complete, including space to document and photograph the key parts of the installation. This isn’t just a CYA move—it’s a genuinely useful tool to ensure a clean, accurate, and safe install.

✅ Photo documentation
✅ Step-by-step checkmarks
✅ Accountability and quality control

This level of intentionality not only helps the person doing the install, but gives peace of mind to the van owner. When you’re investing in high-end gear like the Beatbox Blackbird, you want to know it’s installed right, and this system helps ensure just that.
