Travel Comfortably in a Van

Ever find that your passengers can't sleep, eat or even have a comfortable ride? Make things a bit more comfy with these suggested tips.

Steps

Try a different seating arrangement. In order to travel in a van with comfort try this seating arrangement for four people:
- Lay down the middle seat.
- Flip the back seat back so it's touching the trunk door.
- Now three people can sit there. The person seated in the passenger seat can now recline.
Fix it for meals. For dining, pull the back seat all the way forward. Now just put down the middle seat and use it as a table.
Create a tailgate party arrangement. To have a great tailgate party, flip the back seat around and open the trunk door like an awning.
Sleep happily. To sleep, recline every seat for use as beds.

Maximize room for the passengers. Store items in trunk or under seats and in the legroom spots.
Pack lightly for the trip.
Bring pillows and blankets to sleep with. Also, make more leg room by pushing the front seats up.

Make sure everyone is wearing their seat belts at all times. Do not create seating arrangements that prevent proper wearing of seat belts.
Pack carefully; ensure that heavy objects are neatly tucked away and cannot fly about the van in the event of stopping suddenly or rolling.
Do not obstruct airbags with items or seating arrangements.
Do not allow passengers to sleep in the reclining position while the van in is motion. This will prevent the seat belts from working properly should there be an accident.
