5 van life upgrades I regret not doing sooner because my life is so much easier now!👇🏻👇🏻 It’s funny how one small change can feel like you got a WHOLE NEW HOUSE (or van)!!! Not spon btw!! 1. Snowboard rack: I never had room for two boards, but this simple DIY velcro rack solved that. Cheap, simple, and way more convenient than cramming them inside. Shoutout @kayli.kiing for helping me with this!!! 2. Starlink Mini: Swapped my OG Starlink for the new mini. It’s a quarter the size, uses half the power, and rides on my dash so I’ve got service even while driving. Game changer. To think I used to have to sleep with my Starlink on my bed if i had too many things in my garage. NEVER AGAIN!!! 3. Paddle board: Took me four years to finally buy one, and now I can’t believe I waited. This has opened up so many more activities for me. 4. Surfboard rack: My old setup blocked my solar panels and was a pain to use. Now I’ve got a quick, easy, lockable rack that actually makes sense. 5. Leveling blocks: No more sleeping slanted waking up with numb feet. Flat, comfy sleep = actual van luxury, babbyyyyy!!! #vanlife #solovanlife
