1. Install Hooks, Anchor Points, And Carabiners Throughout Your Van
Installing hooks and putting anchor points down is the best hack for van life. When you’re on the road, things can start getting a little bit chaotic in the van. Those things you forgot to anchor down? Yeah, they’re sliding across the floor and crashing into other objects.
To avoid this from happening, installing cup holders and putting in anchor points will hold things securely. Using carabiners, you can easily clip thing onto them to make them even more accessible!
2. Organize Your Things In Packing Cubes And Baskets
Having things fly all over your van when you don’t organize and put them away is arguably the worst thing in van life. No one likes that kind of chaos. That’s why organizing your things and putting them in storage bins can be life changing on the road.
Being able to easily find what you might need to grab from your van when you’re in a hurry is significantly less stressful and time consuming when you have an organized system.
3. The Shower Hack
If you don’t have a shower for your van, no problem! There are quite a few ways you’re able to shower in peace without breaking the bank. Getting a Portable Camping Shower Tent is great for just about anything.
Enjoy the comfort of privacy for changing, showering, or using over an outdoor toilet is a great solution if you do not have it already installed in your van!
