We've been on the road for a few months now, so I'm a bit more comfortable sharing what we love, what we use, and what we're willing to bring in our camper van where space is LIMITED and every item (and oz) counts!
I use these for small spills, washing & drying dishes, our pups paws, foggy windows - all the things! They pack small and wash really well!
Homaxy 100% Cotton Waffle Weave Dish Cloths
I used these years ago to cover up old shelves, but now they're clutch for keeping things from moving around the van when we're on the road. All kinds of colors, super light weight, and I can cut them to size. Love this stuff!
Gorilla Grip Water-Resistant Drawer Liner
We're a “mixed phone” family over here, LOL, so having ONE holder in the cabin that will hold and charge both phones was a priority. We've been on highway, country roads, sand, and offroading in our van and the phone has stayed put!
VICSEED for MagSafe Car Mount
These took some convincing. I thought we could just use our kitchen stuff…wrong! These are super lightweight, compact, sturdy, and wash up so well. It feels like you're eating on real dishes w/ real cutlery while sitting by the campfire. Highly recom...
Magware Magnetic Bowls Plates Cutlery Set
This is an investment, but hear me out. Worth every penny! First trip out in the van we only put up rear & side door covers, and the next morning it was clear that ALL windows need these. The insulation they provide is totally worth it. These hel...
The Wanderful - Vanlife Accessories
There are a few different versions of this seat, but we love that this cushion has a washable cover, holds our (big-boned) pup, and straps really securely to our van's bench seat. Our boy gets to sit by the window and enjoy the ride!
INDYBUD Memory Foam Dog Booster Seat
Not fun or sexy but MUST have. In fact, we got this for our van but realized we should’ve had one in our house long ago. Again, compact, lightweight, worth the peace of mind.
Prepared Hero Emergency Fire Blanket - 4 Pack
Even with a working kitchen in our van, this thing is super handy for prepping and washing up. We have the orange/gray one but pretty sure they’re all the same price point.
