What Makes VANZEIT ® Products Special?
We think differently.
Just one click away, you'll find the same old offerings. Often with little functionality and even less understanding by the sellers.
Why? They're neither campers nor manufacturers. But the copy is cheap, and you'll end up buying it twice...
You've reached the origin.
Discover unique furniture for your relaxed VANZEIT ®!
🕐 New Product Ideas
A missing coat hook in our first California led to my invention of the well-known hooks for the pop-up roof, our ABHÄNG.
Why drill into your bus? From my incomprehension of this and the limited headroom under the market roof cabinets, our EINFACH was born.
Every idea matures between my own ears, from actual need and missing solutions.
🕑 Thoughtful Product Design
Initial sketches turn into prototypes made of cardboard.
Once I'm convinced, I construct it using CAD, based on the already specific dimensions.
The design is then implemented and tested with 3D printing, on the sewing machine, or in the workshop.
In the refinement process, I remove unnecessary parts from the design.
🕒Tested in Camping Life
Nicole and I take new accessories on tour directly with our bumblebee (aka T6 California Beach).
Is a contour not perfect, or is a feature not used while camping?
If so, it gets adjusted and tested again. And possibly again...
Only what convinces us over a season and proves its value gets produced.
🕓 Made in Northern Germany
We found our production partners within a few kilometers of us.
This guarantees short distances and quick, personal agreements by handshake.
Small series' production ensures fast adjustments, even with your suggestions.
🕔 Ensures More Freedom
Focusing on the essentials gives you more space.
Less ballast means less fuel consumption. You go further.
Simple designs integrate timelessly into your individual setup.
Organization with a system relaxes. Stuffing was yesterday, today you can safely stow your equipment - and find it again tomorrow.
The all-in-one profile:
Clothes hooks, clothes rail, wardrobe, shelf, rack, key rail, kitchen utensil holder, magnetic strip, ... up to the overhead cabinet ... it all fits, fits always, and looks good while doing it.
Checked Off ✔️
Hooks for jackets, hooks for the base cap, hooks for the backpack, hooks for Sunnersta, ... it's like with shrimp and Forrest Gump. With the unimaginative ones on Etsy and elsewhere, you can find them all. Few hold, most look like they are, and - "strangely" - they all look the same.
Now you can surf, research, compare, ... and waste your time to find the best for you.
It's the same sauce.
"Yes, but my idea doesn't fit there anyway."
Why isn't there just a single way for me to attach what I like?
You've found it.
The one to hold them all
I've tried it all...
Airline tracks, C-tracks, rack tracks, sliding tracks, groove profiles up and down...
Both in appearance - aluminum silver, anodized - and in function, this profile has proven itself in our camping for years. You might already know it from its use in my simple roof cabinet for hanging under the pop-up roof.
The lightweight profile is made of aluminum, has a 6mm groove, and allows mounting with normal machine screws along its entire length (590 mm). It accommodates M3, M4, M5, and M6 threads.
You simply insert a T-slot nut of your choice into the profile where you want it and tighten your accessory with a screw.
It's as simple as that.
Machine
What? Machine?
Yes, that's an unbeatable advantage.
In times of half-blind and brain-dead post-turtles ( aka politicians in Germany ), where inflation outside the statistical basket knows no bounds, and procurement only knows red lines...
... having a standardized part from mechanical engineering that remains available for the foreseeable future is a dream.
And there's no need for a "fact check":
In mechanical engineering internationally proven for decades - this part holds. Rock solid.
Up to the Roof
Under the pop-up roof, the VANRAIL system profile finds secure support on the proven profiles of my "old Swede."
2mm stainless steel even supports a full-grown pull-up in the sliding door.
Two profiles (1x base and 1x extension) fit next to each other on each side, giving you the full available width below the headliner for mounting. A connector joins them simply.
At VANZEIT ®, of course
Of course, the VANRAILs fit on both the driver's side and the passenger's side.
To protect the bed frame and the interior of your VW California, the backs of the two attachments in the pop-up roof are felted.
The roof can, of course, be closed with the rail mounted.
Inspiration
Nicole and I have tested which furnishings in camper's everyday life fit on the VANRAIL and make your bus life easier.
Do you already have an idea of what you'll attach to your VANRAIL?
Feel free to write to me with an email. I look forward to it!
I will add additional IKEA hacks with the system profile and other furnishings from the blue-yellow furniture store in the campervan to the blog post with my DIY bus hacks for VW California.
