Van Upgrades – How To Make Your Van More Comfortable

Whether you’re using it just during work hours, also use it for personal use or are even living in it, you want your van to be as comfortable as possible. A comfortable van can equal a comfortable mind, which can actually improve the way you drive. Having a space that works for you can be a marked improvement in both your physical and mental health.

Here are some simple van upgrades that can make your van a much more comfortable experience.

Rooftop Cargo Box

Sometimes there just isn’t enough space when you’re travelling around in your van. One way to free up a bit of space is by using a rooftop cargo box. You can put anything in this, from luggage for your holiday to tools for your business. Just be sure the weight of the cargo in the rack combined with everything else doesn’t exceed the max amount your van can handle.

Seat Covers

While some vans will come with lovely, comfortable seats built-in, you won’t get so lucky with all vans, especially older models. A great way to make your van more relaxing is to buy seat covers. These covers can make long trips easy, and won’t leave you stiff or in pain.

Vehicle Sunshades

One of the worst experiences in hot weather is having to get in your car when you know that the interior is going to be absolutely boiling. In some cases, it can be hard to even get going as elements of your car are too hot to the touch to operate safely. Vehicle sunshades are a great way to block UV light and keep your van a bit cooler.

Convert Storage Space Into Living Space

If you’re planning on living out of your van, or need to take overnight trips in it for work, one of the best ways to make your van more comfortable is to convert some of the storage space into a living space. You could have sofas, kitchen elements or even a bed.

"Found these guys online and was a little bit wary to buy a new van from someone I hadn't heard of. From the off, the first phone call was professional and gave me all the information that I needed, Theo was great, helpful and I proceeded to order my new van, Paige sorted the paperwork quickly and efficiently and within 10 days I had my new van delivered! The price was very competitive and all parts of the transaction were easy and hassle free, wouldn't hesitate to recommend these guys, Thank you so much for a really good experience."

"I was looking for a good deal on a van online and then came across Van away, at first I was a bit sceptical but later went ahead and bought a Peugeot boxer on an unbeatable price online. The sell team were fantastic all the way and very helpful to say the least. I will highly recommend Van away to anybody that's looking for a van of any kind. Thanks Van Away for your first class service and I will be looking forward to a future deal."

"Just purchased a 2nd van through Vanaways to add to our company fleet. Steve Catley was helpful, communicative and informative all the way through the process. We would definitely use Vanaways again, and would not hesitate to recommend them."

"Paige was outstanding in her responsiveness to what presented as a serious problem for our company. The finance company used by her company caused unnecessary and significant delays in the delivery of our van - the pain of which was mitigated somewhat by Paige's proactive communication, informative and realistic communication and very professional demeanour. I'd recommend her and she meant our view of Vanaways was overall positive."
