Roof racks are a platform for lots of things including rooftop tents, solar arrays, awnings, water carrying systems, lightbars, and roof trays. Check with leading brands to find a model to suit your vehicle or let VANSAM take care of it for you.

Roof trays are a great way to expand your carrying capacity. Just make sure you keep the heavy stuff down low in the vehicle and keep the rooftop space for lighter-weight things so you keep your centre of gravity low.

A must-have component these days. Rooftop solar panels help keep your auxiliary battery systems in top condition as well as reducing the load on your alternator by providing continuous charging even while underway. Solar blankets with extension leads are an excellent addition to allow you to charge while parked in the shade or boost your total charging current.

Easy to set up and a game changing addition that allows you to beat the heat and the rain. Having a properly set up awning on your vehicle not only gives you under cover living space during the day but it also allows you to leave your side door open at night without having to worry about a light sprinkle of rain blowing into your van.

Regulations insist that some gas cylinders are stored in an externally accessed and vented compartment. Safety first. Gas in closed vehicles has been the undoing of many an unwary traveller.

Extra light on the road or in camp, is a wonderful thing. Side mounted lights are a great improvement in camp and front or rear facing lights are a great help while driving in challenging conditions.

No need to struggle with high steps into and out of the vehicle, there are plenty of clever products on the market to save you the pain. From simple folding step stools to automatic powered step that extend at the push of a button, there is something for all needs and budgets.

Towing is a big part of life on the road for some people. VANSAM is happy to assist with arranging installation of the necessary equipment to get your vehicle ready to tow.

Whether you're rescuing another traveller or saving yourself, a recovery winch is a very useful thing to have.

Underbody water tanks make carrying bulk water safer and easier. Tanks come in a variety of shapes and sizes to fit the space available under your vehicle.

A professionally fitted long range fuel tank can take you further. VANSAM is happy to assist in arranging the service on your behalf.

Accidents happen. Having an extra protection against impact can be a lifesaver. If you are looking to have a bullbar fitted to your vehicle, VANSAM can help.
