Sprinter Van Storage Ideas: Hang Duffels as Cabinets

Kim's Sprinter van: duffels hanging as cabinets on both sides over the bed, with the ocean out the back doors

Duffels hanging as cabinets over the bed in a Sprinter van.

Kim's Sprinter van was built by The MotoBox. The MotoBox thought of hanging duffels as cabinets, and Kim agreed. Kim stacks packing cubes in the Patagonia duffels, which hang from LoftLockers over the bed.

“It’s just so much better. I stack packing cubes in them and it’s so completely organised I can’t imagine any other way.”

— Kim

Kim's setup

Kim travels in a Sprinter van built by The MotoBox (@themotobox). Kim has taken the van to the coast, the desert and the forest.

The MotoBox thought of hanging duffels as cabinets in the van, and Kim agreed. Kim uses Patagonia duffels and stacks packing cubes inside them.

“It was @themotobox that thought of it and I just agreed. I’m so glad I did. Honestly it’s one of the best products I’ve purchased and I feel like more people should know about it.”

— Kim

Inside Kim's van

Kim shared photos of the van. Here is what they show.

01 The build

This is the van as The MotoBox built it, with duffels hanging on both sides over the bed.

02 The duffels

The duffels hang in a row along the ceiling. Kim keeps packing cubes inside them.

03 Over the bed

The duffels sit up on the ceiling, so the bed stays clear.
