Camperize your van for you next surftrip

It´s not the first time that we talk about vehicles directed towards leisure and open air activities. These vehicles are specially made for living at the beach, sand, salt and water. That’s why the majority of us surfers choose the van over any other vehicle. There are milliards of videos with instructions over how to turn your van into a camper, with every detail. Today we will give you 10 homebrew ideas to camperize your van.

Option1

With a Mercedes Sprinter or Volkwagen Crafter you want be left wanting. With its tall ceiling you can use a lot of the vertical space. This under the bed there is a small kitchen and wardrobe that will let you store your surf arsenal.

Equipped with a good cover to protect the seats, when this van is camperized it’s the dream for any surfer. Although there are a ton of surf accessories for the car that are perfectly adaptable for vans. That’s the case for the key locks or the surf racks to transport the surfboards
