Gear We Use – Van Components

This is a constantly evolving list of items we have purchased and use on our adventures in our van. They have been of good quality, and we would recommend.

Sumo Springs

These really improved our ride. Much less swaying in wind or bouncing on bumpy roads. Cheaper than replacing the suspension.

Blackout Curtains

We used an old shower curtain rod fastened to the shelf above the front seats to hang these. It is much easier to close the curtains if you want a little privacy than it is to put up the window covers. Very useful for a quick change of clothes in a busy trailhead parking lot.

Lynx Levelers

We have 2 sets of these. Also carry a couple of ~18-inch long 2×8 boards. I put the boards on the ground and stack these levelers on it if the ground is soft/muddy. The prevents them from sinking in too much.

Telescopic Ladder

We use this partially extended inside the van to climb in & out of the bed. Also use it fully extended outside the van as a clothes drying rack.

Spare Tire Cable Lock

Gives me a little piece of mind that the spare won’t be easily stolen.

Hand Mirror

We hang this from a cabinet over the kitchen pod.

Key Rings

We received 4 sets of keys with the van and didn’t have many extra key rings laying around, so I bought this pack.
