Get in! We’re going on a road trip! Whether you’re headed on your first trip with a sprinter van or you travel by sprinter van all the time, check out these 6 must-haves for your next sprinter van road trip! These sprinter van road trip essentials will further elevate your sprinter experience making for a fun, memorable, and safe road trip.
6. Food and Snacks
Your sprinter van is equipped with a microwave, refrigerator, and kitchen sink, so don’t forget to pack appropriately! Gone are the days where road trip food had to mean packaged crackers and snacks that you knew would last unrefrigerated or stopping at the nearest fast food joint. Now, you can pack food that needs refrigeration or even make full-blown meals in the microwave. Wanting to go on a road trip and still eat healthy? Now you can! Pack food for a healthy salad and fruit for snacks. Your road trip isn’t complete without food and, with a sprinter van, you have the necessities you need to pack a variety of food choices.
5. Entertainment
While you may spend a lot of your trip taking in the views outside the van window, it can also be helpful to bring entertainment. You can bring DVDs to play in the DVD player, board games to play with each other, video games to hook up, and even laptops or cell phones to keep you busy. While you may not always be in a place with service, our sprinter vans have WiFi capabilities allowing you to stay connected throughout your travel. Between the views you are traveling through and the entertainment you are bringing, you won’t be bored on your next road trip!
4. Fuel Tank
Depending on the length of your trip and where you are going, you might want to consider getting a fuel tank. While the included fuel tanks are plenty for some travelers, an extended range-fuel tank can allow you the flexibility of traveling further without having to stop at a gas station. Not only can you avoid wasted time at the pump, but you can also extend your adventures by being reassured you have plenty of gas to drive a little bit further and check out the views that are just around the corner.
3. Portable Laundry System & Camp Shower
If you’re excited about going on your big road trip but even more excited about the cleanliness and luxury offered that comes with traveling by sprinter van, this next one’s for you! Investing in a camp shower is a portable, convenient way to take a shower while on the road. Getting a portable laundry system allows for easy ways to do laundry while on the road. By filling the bag with water, soap, and your clothes, you can scrub the bag to imitate a washing machine and find a way to have clean clothes on your road trip! Road trips don’t have to be a dirty venture and you can fall asleep easily each day knowing you are clean and have clean clothes for tomorrow with these portable systems.
2. Bear Spray
If you’re going on a long road trip, it’s possible you’ll be venturing into bear country. After all, many of the beautiful places you can go with your van are home to these amazing creatures. We’re just visitors in the gorgeous terrain that is their home. In order to stay safe in bear county, you’ll want to make sure you have bear spray on you at all times. This is great to have when you go hiking, but also handy while you’re in or near the van in case you happen to camp out somewhere bears roam. This is an essential that we hope to never use, but it is always best to prepare and not need to use it than to need something that you realize you’ve left at home!
1. First Aid Kit
While we hope you’ll never need it, we always recommend packing a first aid kit in your sprinter vans. Sprinter vans are often used to go on fun road trips and adventures and there is a possibility of injury with any adventure. Especially if you are out camping or hiking in more remote areas, it is best to have a first aid kit with you in case you need it. You don’t want to be stuck in a remote place with the nearest form of first aid being hours away. Plan on using a small part of your van to store your first aid kit so you are prepared for any injuries on the road. The good news is your sprinter van has a lot of space for storage, so making room for a first aid kit won’t be too difficult! Sprinter vans come equipped with a lot of what you’ll already need for your road trip! That being said, these 6 road trip essentials can elevate your road trip experience even more. From items to help you benefit from the amenities offered in sprinter vans to items necessary to keep you safe, we recommend bringing these 6 essentials on your next sprinter van road trip!
