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.

"We have used Vanaways on two occasions now and the customer service has always been great. I contacted them as our team grew and withing 2 weeks we had the vans in our yard. Quick and efficient service all round. Tyler in the delivery department kept me up to date throughout the process. Would certainly recommend."

"Vanaways is really great, from contacting them up to the delivery can't be smoother than it was. These guys are professionals and I believe the best in the industry. Thanks to Philip Jones, Ross Davies, Jihad Khan and one or two individuals I had contact with throughout the process. I recommend Vanaways and will use them again."

"Very happy with our Vanaways transaction! We needed three new vans quickly for our company and Vanaways didn't disappoint. Hannah and Abbie were on hand every step of the way and provided extremely good prices which suited our business. Customer service is a priority for them and it shows with every phone call and email! When I need a few more, they will be my first port of call. Thankyou guys!"
