If you’re ready to make your van smarter, cleaner, and more comfortable, here are the simple upgrades that transform your space from functional to phenomenal. Van interiors evolve. What starts as a minimalist setup often grows as you live and travel more because
every mile teaches you something new about what your space needs. Simple upgrades are the key to making your van work smarter. Instead of ripping out cabinetry or redoing
your layout, these modular accessories can enhance your existing build. The result? Better use of space, improved comfort, and a van that feels custom-tailored to your life on the road. Let’s explore the most impactful accessories to elevate your van interior this season.
1. Expand Your Space with the VS Sprinter Capsule Set
The VS Sprinter Capsule Set is one of the most transformative upgrades available for Sprinter vans. Designed for Sprinter 144 and 170 models, these precision-molded extensions create up to 11.5 inches of additional lateral space in your sleeping area—perfect for adding elbow room or fitting a full-width bed. Each capsule is constructed from FRP with a primer-coated finish and comes with all hardware, urethane, and mounting instructions. You can even choose options with integrated windows for added natural light. Built in California using CAD precision, the capsules fit seamlessly with your van’s curves, giving you a professional finish that feels OEM. For vanlifers who value both comfort and clean design, this is one of the smartest upgrades you can make.
2. Add Hidden Storage with the Headliner Shelf
The Headliner Shelf for Sprinter Vans adds a surprising amount of usable space to an area most builders overlook: above the driver and passenger seats. Made from 1/8” aluminum sheet and powder-coated black for durability, this CNC-cut shelf offers 7,000 cubic inches of organized overhead storage. It’s perfect for stowing soft goods, jackets, camera bags, or camp gear, keeping your cabin clutter-free and your essentials within reach. Installation reuses factory mounting points and clears OEM sun visor cubbies, making it a seamless, no-drill addition. A simple, sleek upgrade that immediately adds functionality to your front cabin.
3. Step Up with Voodoo and Side Step Systems
Voodoo Interior Ladder
When you need roof access without sacrificing style or aerodynamics, the Voodoo Interior Ladder is a must. Designed for the passenger or driver side of your Sprinter, this powder-coated aluminum ladder weighs just 20 lbs, mounts to factory holes, and is compatible with all Serg Supply bed systems. It’s quiet, secure, and molle-compatible for extra gear attachments. Whether you’re loading boards or cleaning solar panels, this ladder is built for everyday utility and sleek design.
Side Steps for Sprinter Vans
Getting in and out of your van shouldn’t be a climb. The Sprinter Side Steps provide easy access while maintaining a flush, aerodynamic profile.

4. Carry More with the Mule Carrier System
If adventure means gear, bikes, boards, or extra cargo, the Mule Carrier System is your best friend. Start with the Rear Tire Carrier and Ladder, a tubular frame structure that mounts directly to your rear door. It serves as the foundation for modular attachments like the Mule Carrier Bike Rack, which adds a secure, configurable mounting surface for your bikes. Made from ⅛” sheet steel and finished with a textured black powder coat, the MuleCarrier Bike Rack holds up to 150 lbs. It’s CNC cut, bent, and welded in Huntington Beach, CA; precision-built to handle real travel. Pair it with the 1-UP Roof Rack for ultimate versatility. Together, they make transporting your gear easier, cleaner, and safer; freeing up valuable interior space.
5. Access Made Easy: Defender Mini Rear Step
Small step, big difference. The Defender Mini Rear Step makes loading your van simpler while maintaining towing capability. Mounting directly to your OEM tow hitch in under five minutes, this compact steel step provides 8.25” of depth and installs on either (or both) sides of your van. It’s CNC cut, bent, and welded for a perfect fit, allowing you to step up securely without using a hitch extender. Perfect for Sprinters (2019+), this upgrade blends practicality with rugged aesthetics. Ideal for those who use their van for both work and play.
