How to optimize the layout of your van?

May 14, 2025

Summer is approaching fast and, to the delight of vanlife enthusiasts, marks the start of new adventures. However, moving from home to a 60-square-foot space sometimes requires an adjustment period. Well-chosen accessories can completely reinvent your experience on the road. Discover our favorite products and transform your van into a practical and comfortable space!

Maximize unused space

Your van is full of often underused space, like the top of your dashboard, which can easily be converted into a practical space. That is why we designed a cabin shelf designed to offer a spacious and elegant storage solution perfectly integrated into your vehicle. Made of high-quality aluminum, it is available in open or closed versions, according to your preferences and needs. Because functionality is an element not to be overlooked, all our shelves are equipped with a curtain rod to isolate the cabin space from the rest of the vehicle. It is also possible to add L-Track accessories, practical for hanging your personal belongings freely. Our cabin shelf offers a discreet, clever layout designed to simplify your life on the road.

Transform the space

Sometimes, living in a van requires being minimalist, but some accessories have been designed to make your life easier and transform your space, thus maximizing its layout. This is what the swivel base from Scopema and the VanEquipped bench-bed offer.

Swivel base (Swivel seat) from Scopema

The swivel base from Scopema allows you to easily rotate your seat to the side or facing backward, instantly transforming the interior of your van into a more functional and welcoming living space. Designed for smooth rotation, this durable mechanism maximizes available space and enhances comfort during your adventures.

VanEquipped bench bed

Add passengers to your next adventures without compromising space, thanks to the Safetrack bench beds from VanEquipped! Versatile, comfortable, and easy to use, these benches offer two to three additional seats. Since safety is a key element, they have undergone rigorous testing and meet all safety certifications in North America, including FMVSS/CMVSS 207/210. These bench beds provide a comfortable seat for the trip and, once you arrive at your destination, transform into an equally pleasant bed. A reliable all-in-one choice for your road getaways.

Accessories that adapt to your lifestyle

 The L-Track rails are a must-have for your camper van. Discreet and lightweight, they are easily installed in the vehicle's garage, on the floor, or even on the ceiling to secure removable cabinets. Various L-Track accessories are available on the market, allowing versatile use tailored to your needs. In fact, many of our products, such as our cabin shelf, side ladder, removable roof platforms, storage box, and rear door mounts, also offer the possibility to use anchor rings or any other accessory of this type.

Ready to hit the road!

As you have noticed, properly outfitting your van is essential. With accessories like these, your adventures have never been so enjoyable. So, take advantage of the last moments before summer to equip yourself... and now enjoy every moment on the road.
