Knowing what to bring and what you can have on the van can make the difference between a comfortable life on the road and an uncomfortable one. Here are 10 amazing vanlife hacks and the products to use to make living on the road easier and more comfortable.
1. Gel Pads- These pads hold things while you're driving. They are robust and don't leave a mark after you apply them.
2. Collapsible Containers- Collapsible containers save space, especially if you don't have storage in the van. You can fold these containers in themselves.
3. Jet Boil- Usually used by hikers, this piece of equipment is self-sufficient and can boil up to 10 liters of water.
4. Compact Cook Set- An all-in-one compact cook set can help you save space and have everything you'll need in the kitchen when cooking on the go.
5. Stainless Toaster- This stainless toaster is efficient and space savvy. You can use this over the stove and serve toast in no time at all.
6. Omnia Stove- Its a small portable stove similar to a regular home stove.
7. Luci Solar String Lights- The device is chargeable both by solar power and USB. It is multipurpose, compact, and a nice addition to the aesthetics of eating outdoors (or indoors, if you want to hang them inside your van).
8. Compact Scraper- It is a spatula on one side and a scraper on the other side. This is great to have if you're low on water as it can be used to scrape food scraps off of dirty dishes.
9. Cutboard Counter- Aside from being a cutting board, it can also be used as extra counter space as it fits over the sink. It is also perfect for hiding the dishes when there are guests over.
10. Collapsible Mug- Like all the other kitchenware featured, collapsible mugs also take little to no storage space as you can fold them in after use.
All of the featured items here are must-haves when embarking on vanlife.
