Question 5

Can I install VAN³ modules in a rented van?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Installing VAN³ modules is a smart idea for those who don't want to buy a van to convert it into a campervan. Renting a van is also a fraction of the price of renting a pre-equipped campervan.

Question 6

How does electricity work in VAN³ modules?

Accepted Answer

VAN³ modules are equipped with a self-contained electrical system powered by an external battery, such as an Ecoflow portable power station. This battery powers all of the module's electrical appliances, such as LED lighting, refrigerators, water pumps, and other essential equipment.The power station can be recharged via mains sockets or solar panels, providing a flexible solution for maintaining autonomy. This allows users to fully enjoy their VanLife experience while being assured of optimal energy management for their daily needs.To know three probable usage scenarios in terms of Wh consumption, as well as the recommended battery for each scenario, you can consult the following website for more details: VAN3 – Scenarios

Question 7

How does the plumbing work in VAN³ modules?

Accepted Answer

The VAN³ modules are equipped with a self-contained plumbing system designed to provide all the comfort you need when traveling. The kitchen module has a 30L fresh water tank and a 30L gray water tank, allowing for efficient water management for the kitchen sink.An electric pump delivers clean water directly to the sink, making daily use easier. Kitchen wastewater is drained into the gray water tank and can be drained outside the vehicle using a removable hose, without requiring any permanent modifications to the vehicle.For showering, the module is equipped with an 18.5L fresh water tank, allowing for showers of approximately 8 to 10 minutes. After use, the water is sent to a gray water tank. When this tank is full, a hose with a valve allows the water to be drained outside the vehicle.This simple and flexible system allows you to manage clean and gray water independently and conveniently during your van adventures.

Question 8

Is it possible to remove the child's bed and replace it with a horizontal storage cabinet?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is possible to remove the crib and replace it with an additional horizontal storage cabinet. This option gives you more storage for your equipment while maintaining the functionality of the module for optimal organization.

Question 9

What materials are used to manufacture VAN³ modules?

Accepted Answer

The VAN³ module frame is made of stainless steel, ensuring high strength and increased corrosion resistance. This stainless steel structure guarantees optimal durability and longevity, while being light enough not to compromise the vehicle's performance.
