From rooftop tents to cupholders and everything in between, we found the best gear to make the most out of your van life adventures.
An endless sea of Sprinter, Transit, and ProMaster vans stretch across any overland vehicle event you go to these days. The massive Overland Expo West was no different this year, with big vans parked all over the camping area and throughout vendor displays.
We waded through and dug up a few gems that might elevate your adventures.
VanLife Gear from Outdoor Expo 2019
Roambuilt GFCRack
The Roambuilt GFCRack takes Sprinter Vans with a Rooftop Tent (RTT) to all new heights of functional cool. The platform-style aluminum rack integrates a custom wide version of the GFC roof-mounted tent. It mounts low in the rack for a clean, streamlined look with good aerodynamics. Plus, a big platform sits behind the tent to provide gear storage space and a pleasant patio area.
The Roambuilt GFCRack ranges from $9,000 to $11,000, depending on what length Sprinter it’s going on. The price includes the tent and rack, but it does not include lighting or a ladder.
