The most challenging part of vanlife is not having a lot of storage space. You have to be smart about the items you carry with you- and they have to last the distance. These vanlife must-haves will make your vanlife experience more comfortable, and affordable and will take the pressure off your mobile home so you will worry less.
Here are five must-have items for vanlife for women who live and work on the road.
Van WIFI Signal Booster
Stronger WIFI and mobile phone signal booster – HiBoost Cell Phone Signal Booster enhances the signal better than most boosters on the Market. It offers fewer dropped calls, better voice quality, faster mobile internet, improved audio and video streaming, and greater hotspot capability even in remote areas so that wherever you are you’ll be able to improve your signal on the road to stay connected.
Portable Jump Starter
Anyone who has tried vanlife will know it can be tough on your battery. AÂ Portable Jump Starter
Propane Gas Stove
A Propane stove is by far the easiest way to cook your meals. The Coleman Propane Stove is super easy to use and takes less than a minute to get up and running. Gas canisters can be purchased for around $4 USD and these last for at least a week or two. Cheapest power bill ever!
Solar Shower
The least glamorous part of vanlife: finding somewhere to shower. Unless you have a good gym membership, a solar shower is the easier, more affordable option. This solar shower holds up to 5 gallons of water and uses solar energy to heat up water.
Battery Operated Fairy Lights
OK so this isn’t strictly speaking a must-have, we know! But there is nothing quite like cuddling up in bed each night with a good book underneath the fairy lights. Installation for battery-operated lights is easy- put them into a mason jar to create a lantern, or drape them across the roof of your van.

Personally I could not live without my kindle books.
Hi !
Well, I have two out of five. I’ve been on the road for nine months… I have a built-in propane stove that is fed by a one gallon re-fillable tank. Which is super easy on gas, and costs me less than $2/month! And I have battery operated fairy lights but only because they were a gift. I do love them 🙂
I use a down comforter and sheets like I would at home. And a mattress pad heater (12 volt) that I couldn’t live without for my below freezing nights out on the road! I take showers wherever I can (truck stops, laundromats etc) and enjoy a sponge bath each day, so I don’t feel I need a solar shower… and I don’t have a portable jumper, but I do have roadside assistance.
thanks for the article 🙂

Today I locked my keys in the van. Yeah I know I needed to get that key made ( new to me van). Yeah I was going too last month etc. not having success breaking in gracefully myself I called Geico Roadside assistance. By the time they transferred me. Got my location. Asked unnecessary question I was thoroughly chilled. Fortunately I had just stopped in at a friends on a camping trip. He finally was able to unlock the side door through the window with a looped wire. It took no time. Nice to know but need ideas how to make this impossible to happen (after I get a couple spare keys made)!
