Van Life

Essential van life accessories include a portable power station, carbon monoxide monitor, water filtration system, compact cooking equipment, and comfortable bedding. Safety items like a fire extinguisher and first aid kit are also vital, alongside storage solutions such as dry food organisers and collapsible bins.

Water can be sourced from campsites, motorhome service points, roadside taps, or petrol stations. Carry hose adapters to fit various taps and use a filtration system like a Lifesaver Jerrycan for questionable sources. An underslung water tank is ideal for storing larger quantities.

Compact stoves and nesting cookware are ideal for saving space in your van. Portable stoves are versatile for outdoor cooking, while stationary ones suit more permanent setups. Include collapsible Tupperware and spice racks to maximise storage.
