Turning your caravan space into the coziest version it can be will make it feel like a home away from home in no time. You can make tons of small additions to your space that will make a massive difference in the comfort and relaxation levels you experience while on the road.
If you’re preparing for an upcoming campervan trip, you are in luck. We have created a list of the top ten things you can do to help transform your campervan into a more comfortable and inviting living space.
Adventure awaits; let’s get started.
1. Accessorise with Soft Furnishings
Small spaces are best accented with soft and cozy furnishings. To make everything feel a bit more homely, find cozy couches, chairs, and other furnishings to add some personality and comfort to the space. You can even add rugs and carpets for extra comfort in your van.
You’ll be spending a lot of time in this area, so find items that make you happy and help you achieve that same level of relaxation you would typically get while at home.
2. Homely Scents
While it may be a bit easier to keep small spaces feeling clean, it can also be very easy for them to start smelling less than pleasant – especially if multiple people are rooming inside the caravan at any one time.
Adding homely scents to the area will really help ensure you feel at home in this condensed and cozy environment. Find a scent that gives you peace and comfort, and add candles or air fresheners around your space.
3. Installing a Television
After a long day of travelling or exploring the surrounding campsite, you’re going to want to have a way to unwind. Installing a TV or some other form of entertainment on board is essential to having a camper van that feels just like home.
Installing a television is easy with the right tools. An EcoFlow Portable Power Station like the EcoFlow DELTA Pro will make this task easy. These powerful portable power stations are designed to supply a reliable source of power for anything you may need. They’re easy to transport and won’t take up a lot of the precious space inside your caravan.
Plan the layout in your van and decide where the television would fit best, and you are on your way to creating the perfect off-the-grid home.
4. Upgrade Your Bedding
When spending nights in your camper van, you may find that it can get quite chilly. By upgrading your bedding, you’ll stay warm and comfortable no matter the season. Find a high-quality set that fits your style, and you are guaranteed to be cozy every single night of your trip.
5. Portable Heater or Fan
While a properly insulated camper van will help regulate the interior temperature, you may find that having a portable heater or fan installed will make the experience all the more enjoyable.
Take the EcoFlow WAVE 2 Portable Air Conditioner, for instance. This compact yet powerful AC unit is a great addition to any small space and can quickly lower the temperature in warmer months. You can also use a portable power station to provide power to an oscillating fan to stimulate air movement.
The choice is yours based on what is best for your space, but these simple additions can make a huge difference in your comfort levels.
6. Outdoor Seating
When you are parked at a campsite for any length of time, it is nice to have the option to set up and enjoy the outdoor scenery. Packing outdoor seating and anything else you may need to enjoy the great outdoors is a great way to elevate your trip and make it feel all your own.
If you’re planning to set up in one space for a while, consider investing in the EcoFlow DELTA 2 Max Solar Generator (PV400W). This solar generator is great for outdoor spaces and can provide convenient access to electricity while spending time in the great outdoors.
7. Personalise Your Living Space
Add all your personal touches to make the space feel like yours. Hang posters or wallpaper, and even collect items from your travels to curate the perfect home away from home. Decorate with books or vinyl, and add plants you find along the way.
8. Use Soft Lighting
Harsh and bright lights do not mix well with small and cozy spaces. Soft overhead lighting in your caravan will quickly show you how comfy and warm it can feel. By using string lights or even changing out the light bulbs with a warmer alternative, you will have created the perfect hang-out space in no time at all.
9. Invest in Smart Storage Solutions
Caravans can quickly feel cluttered if you do not enlist the proper storage solution. Prepare before heading out on your trip and find a storage solution that would work best in your space. Many different-sized bins and shelves can easily be installed to ensure your space remains clutter-free for the extent of your travels.
10. Install Functional Kitchen Essentials
If you will be spending a lot of time out on the road, consider investing in some solid kitchen essentials. This will give you the freedom to prepare meals while off the grid without having to make your way back into town on a regular basis.
The EcoFlow GLACIER Portable Refrigerator is a game-changer and will supply you with an actual refrigerator right in the comfort of your camper van. Bring your favourite snacks and food items, and you will feel right at home.
