#Vanlife and Van Accessories For Your Journey

Have you heard about the lifestyle trend that lives by the hashtag, #VanLife? If not, it’s a lifestyle that some people have embraced to simplify their lives. These folks have transformed their minivan into a mobile home and are using it to travel and explore the country. Of course we don’t all have the luxury to turn our van into a temporary living space and travel, but there are a couple ways you can use some of the #VanLife inventions to make your everyday life much easier in your minivan.

Family Van

This is the #vanlife you think about first most likely! Although not all van owners have families, many do. To make your trips to school, play dates, and so on easier, check out these accessories:

• A portable vacuum to clean up messes (the Chrysler Pacifica is actually available from the factory with a built-in vacuum).
• Seat covers to minimize mess!
• Back seat organizers to hold toys.
• Either a portable DVD player/laptop or go all out with the available DVD players in vans (your kids will love you).

The Travel Van

If you are going to try to do a very brief #VanLife trip, these items are essential.

• A mattress that fits in the back of the van.
• A cooler, non-perishable food for the ride, and a storage bin.
• A storage system for clothes and other cargo – you can build this yourself or look for products to buy online.
• Emergency gear like a first aid kit, flashlight, and tire jack (with spare tire).

The Adventure Van

This is the van life of those who like to be outdoors and adventuring like surfers, paddle boarders, boaters, fisherman, bikers and so on.

• Roof rack for kayaks, surf boards, bikes, paddle boards and so on.
• Cargo net to secure all that adventure cargo to the roof!
• First aid kit and cooler for the adventure van as well!
