Travelling by van: what is vanlife?

Vanlife is a lifestyle where people choose to live in a converted vehicle. The movement has been around for over 70 years, but has gained in popularity thanks to social networking. Interested in travelling independently in a van or camper van? In this article, Speck-Sports takes a look at some practical information, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of organising a road trip in a van, with family or friends.

The essentials for a road trip in a van

Equipment

At Speck-Sports, we have a selection of camping equipment suitable for van road trips. We have equipment for sleeping, cooking, hydration, hygiene and comfort.

Whether you're looking for solutions for comfortable sleeping, easy cooking, safe hydration or optimum hygiene and comfort, we've got everything you need. We offer a wide range of tents, sleeping bags, stoves, cooking utensils and personal hygiene products to meet all your needs. What's more, we also offer vanlife equipment, such as tents and awnings for cars and vans, and camping furniture.

Hydration

When travelling by van, it's important to have a source of drinking water for drinking, cooking and washing. However, drinking water is not always readily available on wild camping sites or at rest areas. That's why it's possible to opt for water treatment solutions, such as filters in the form of flasks, straws and even larger containers, such as tablets. These solutions allow you to filter your water and make it drinkable by eliminating bacteria and viruses.
