No one likes bugs flying around in your home, and that is especially true in a small space like a van. This electric mosquito killer is a great solution for unwanted visitors.

Power is always at a premium when living in a van, so rather than drain my batteries, I prefer to use this mini inverter when I'm driving to charge my electronics.

Without a roof rack, I had to find smaller boards that I could store inside the van. I haven't had to use them yet, but I'm hopefully optimistic they will get the job done.

I bought these straps because of their towing capacity at 30,000 pounds. At 30-feet in length, they should have no problem pulling Honcho out of a hairy situation.

Adding an external hose to the back of the van was probably one of my better design ideas. The last thing you wants is to track mud into your van after a long hike.

Don't have a ladder? No problem. I saw this product on Shark Tank and decided to give it a try. It hooks onto any door and offers a great boost up onto the roof.

If you are traveling in a van, there's a good chance you'll have a Planet Fitness membership. This bag is great for workouts and showers.

This portable car charger provides some great peace of mind when traveling solo to remote places. You don't want to be off-grid and not have your van not start with no other cars around for miles. It can also be used as an additional batter bank in case of emergency.

I attach these motion-detection solar-powered lights on the outside of my van with magnets whenever I park overnight in a remote area. They also come in handy as back-up lights in case battery systems in the van run low.

Stick these heavy-duty magnets onto a couple of motion detector solar lights, wrap the edges with electrical tap, and viola, you have yourself an extra layer of security when parked in an unfamiliar location.

A quality water purifier is a must have for anyone living in a van. You never know when or where you will have an opportunity to fill up your tanks, so when the opportunity arise, it's best to take every precaution to filter out any harmful agents like bacteria, mercury and lead from your drinking source.

If your van has shore power, then you'll need a good adaptor when camping at most state and national parks. A 30 to 15 amp adaptor is standard equipment to have.

This hose is very practical: it saves space and coils for easy storage. I use this weekly and haven't had any issues. It also has different nozzle settings if the van needs a quick wash.

This floor liner fit perfectly across the driver, middle, and passenger side floors of my Ford Transit. The snug fit provides great protection from normal wear and tear.

Turns out Ford Transit delivery vans don't come equipped with cruise control, so I installed an after-market version made by Rostral. It works great and saves significant gas mileage on long trips.

The factory Ford jack will not work on a van with a suspension lift. Don't get caught with a flat tire and no way to replace it. Better yet, don't risk using a smaller jack and risk serious damage or injury.

I searched far and wide for some quality side steps that would look good at a reasonable price. This model has held up over time. It's also a necessity for a van like Honcho with a suspension lift and big tires.

Performance. Performance. Performance. A suspension lift is pricey, but I promise you won't regret the investment and the extra clearance when traveling on dirt roads.

Surprisingly, Ford Transits don't have easy access tow points. In addition to adding a hitch on the back, I also added these two tow hooks onto the front in case of an emergency.

Have a long hike ahead of you and need a boost of energy? These waffles have been helping me make it through long-distance runs and hikes for years.

These are great for cold weather hikes or if you're out in the sun for extended periods of time.

Long drive? No problem.

These are great when traveling light. Throw them in your camping pack or use them at the gym.
