if you share your van with a pet: a sliding expandable window screen to use as a 'baby gate' in the van barn doors when you want to keep the door open but the pet inside.

[@mielesutter4159]

My hack: those who have clothes on hangers? Use swivel top hangers you can flatten clothes down thT way saving space. Will also provide more temp co trol.

[@timsatch9198]

Was very useful.

[@SweetiePieTweety]

This was incredibly helpful in a way that wasn’t a “hack”. Just seeing everyone’s variety of life space was an encouragement hack for me. I’m 10 days away from a forced vanlife experience and I’m so not ready. I’ve had to do everything but get my van ready so it’s going to be a throw it all in and go situation. But seeing all these wonderful people making it work in such a variety of vehicles each doing what works for them in their own way… well, I guess I will find my own hacks in my own time. Thanks Sweet Lady! I needed to see this right now. Making it real for me.

[@rebekahfrye7934]

I love these kinds of videos, but for maybe a different reason - I love seeing all the joy that vanlife folks exude. The hacks are great too! Thanks!

Great video with lots of great hacks. I love learning from other van lifers on the road. My favorite hack right now is my Kroger gas card hack which is having me up to $1.00 a gallon when I buy gas cards at Krogers.

[@jonathanhansen3709]

Great compilation of van hacks. I already knew the ones that apply to me, only because I’ve been ‘car camping’ extensively for the last 30 years. But any newbie would be well advised to watch. My own ‘hack’ to share, would be the use of ‘zippered’ Duffel Bags, (Navy & Marines call them ‘Sea Bags’) to pack your clothes. You can pack a month’s worth of clothes in one, and easily squeeze it into your vehicle.

[@nonyabizness.original]

instead of a wooden rod to hang stuff, i use bungie cords. one is stretched from up over the driver door to the passenger door on the handle things, up front in my van. i use it to dry my towels or anything i wash out by hand on the road. works really well when i can't hang stuff outside to dry, and never notice the bungie there over my head while driving, very useful.

[@VanLifeVoyages]

Fun video & great hacks. If our sliding side door wasn't uograded to remote control, we would have needed that Vancillary door stop thing since there are so many times we only want the door partially open.

[@h3bysuzanne184]

Wow, these are some GREAT HACKS, especially that Vancillary dealybobthing! I ordered one right away because I totally relate to what she’s talking about.

[@clarasmith1873]

It's amazing how a seemingly simple van hack tip can change your whole experience.

[@conniewaite1371]

Those sticky gel pads are like "Alein tape". They are nice!

[@tomwilliam5118]

Boxes the containers do take up a lot of space.

[@markrenfrow9873]

Hi Ms. Dee ! Always good to see how other folks do their thing. That's why I'm "sticking around like a gel pad!"

[@Simply.C]

Another great episode. All hacks were great. My fav was Shanine’s; around the

[@ovangal3852]

Very cool. Thx for all those hacks from all those different Nomads! It was fun to hear from them!

[@abbeyjane1306]

Thanks for another excellent video. Lady Bugout's trash service was great.

[@sallyo2526]
