Gear up for hunting season with the ultimate van upgrades: smarter storage, more
sleeping space, and rugged exterior accessories that go the distance.
When hunting season rolls around, your van isn’t just a vehicle, it’s your mobile command center. It hauls your gear, shelters you from the elements, and becomes the basecamp for every dawn wake-up and late-night return. Whether you’re deep in the mountains or parked on the edge of public land, the right van setup makes the difference between chaos and comfort.
To help you get ready for your next big trip, we’ve rounded up the Top 3 Van Mods for Hunting Season: upgrades that bring organization, efficiency, and rugged durability to your adventure rig. From the Stash Cab storage system to Vanspeed Capsules and Rigwell exterior accessories, these mods will keep your gear secure, your rest uninterrupted, and your van performing at its peak.
1. Stash Cabs: Hunt-Ready Storage That Works as Hard as You Do
When you’re off-grid, every inch of storage matters. Between your hunting gear, clothing, food, and field equipment, it’s easy for your space to get cluttered fast. That’s where Rigwell’s Stash Cab system comes in, a modular, lightweight, and ultra-durable storage solution designed to maximize every square inch of your van.
Built from 5052 aluminum, each Stash Cab is laser-cut, CNC-formed, and powder-coated for a sleek finish that’s as durable as it is lightweight. Aluminum construction keeps things strong yet portable, and because it’s thinner than traditional wood cabinetry, it frees up more usable storage inside. The result? More gear space, less wasted volume, and no unnecessary weight.
Why Hunters Love Stash Cabs
● Modular design: Connect multiple units to create your ideal layout.
● Lightweight strength: Aluminum keeps weight down while maintaining durability.
● DIY-friendly: Easy to install, no pro van builder required.
● Adventure Wagon compatible: Brackets sold separately.
● Free shipping in the lower 48.
Choose Your Configuration
Stash Cab 48" Slider Tall
The heavy-duty option for hunters who pack it all. Perfect for storing boots, cookware, optics, or bulky field gear, the 48" Slider Tall offers high-volume storage with a smooth sliding door system. No clunky flip-ups to deal with in tight spaces. The sliding doors are especially valuable when you’re moving inside the van or when weather forces you to load up quickly. They reduce moving parts, meaning less to break and fewer rattles on rough roads.
Stash Cab 24" Open Slim
The 24" Open Slim is a compact, over-bed storage solution designed for small essentials. We engineered it to fit perfectly above the bed — especially when paired with the Nomad Modular Murphy Bed, giving you the room you need to move freely without losing storage. The front features a bungee-cord retention system to keep soft goods like clothing, bedding, and dry food secure during bumpy drives. At just 10.3 lbs, it’s featherlight but built tough for real-world conditions.
Stash Cab 24" Open Tall
Need open access to your essentials? The 24" Open Tall model strikes the perfect balance between storage capacity and accessibility. The open-face design makes it easy to grab what you need whether that’s a jacket, a meal, or your binoculars. While the customizable panel colors (including bamboo and other finishes) let you match your van’s look.
Each Stash Cab is compatible with Sprinter, Transit, and Promaster vans, giving you total flexibility no matter your platform. Mix and match different models to create a personalized layout that fits your gear, habits, and space.
In the Field
When you’re waking up at 4:30 AM to hit the ridgeline, you don’t have time to dig through piles of gear. Stash Cabs make your van feel organized, intentional, and efficient, like a mobile hunting lodge. Every piece of equipment has a home, and every second you save finding what you need is another second you can spend tracking, scouting, or resting.
2. Vanspeed Capsules: Sleep Better, Hunt Harder
Long days in the field demand solid rest. Anyone who’s spent a night in a van knows how precious sleeping space can be. Especially if you’re tall or sharing the rig with a partner or dog. That’s where Vanspeed Capsules come in. These fiberglass extensions expand your van’s sleeping area, giving you the extra inches you need to sleep east-to-west comfortably. No more sleeping at an angle or curling up to fit. Capsules let you stretch out, sleep soundly, and wake up ready to chase game at first light.
Capsule Options
For Sprinter vans, Capsules add up to 11.5 inches of lateral room (or 10.25 inches when using a trim kit).
For Transit vans, you’ll gain up to 6 inches (3.5" on the driver side and 2" on the passenger side).
Why Capsules Are a Game-Changer
● Lightweight fiberglass construction for strength and insulation.
● Optional sliding bunk windows for light and ventilation.
● Includes all installation hardware for a complete setup.
● Compatible with 2014+ Sprinter 144"/170" and 2015+ Transit 148" models.
Comfort Meets Stealth
Capsules aren’t just about space. They are about performance. Their aerodynamic fiberglass design improves insulation, reduces condensation, and maintains a low profile for stealth camping. Whether you’re parked along a forest road or camping near a trailhead, Capsules help you stay warmer, quieter, and less visible. Add optional bunk windows to bring in natural light or a cool breeze, or keep them solid for maximum
privacy. Every version is engineered for durability and built to withstand the demands of life on the road — or off it.
Rest Like a Pro
A good night’s sleep can make or break your next day in the field. With Capsules, you’ll wake up refreshed, focused, and ready to move. Pair them with blackout shades or insulated curtains for a cozy, all-season setup that keeps you comfortable through every hunting trip.
3. Accessories: Rugged Upgrades for the Field
The hunt doesn’t stop where the pavement ends and neither should your van. Exterior Accessories are designed to take your setup to the next level, adding functionality, toughness, and utility to every trip. From roof access to tire storage, these accessories turn your van into a self-sufficient, adventure-ready machine capable of tackling any environment.
Ladders That Do It All
Choose from a lineup of Ladders, including:
● Sprinter Side Mount Ladder V2
● Rear Ladder System + Extension
● Rear Ladder + Tire Carrier
● Wheel-Wrap Ladder
● Voodoo Ladder
Each is built from high-strength aluminum, strong enough for daily use, light enough not to weigh your rig down. They provide secure, stable access to your roof rack, cargo bins, or solar panels. Whether you’re hauling recovery boards, fuel cans, or a spare tire, Rigwell ladders and carriers make your van more functional without compromising style.
Why Hunters Love Rigwell Exterior Gear
● Built for rugged terrain — proven to handle dirt, snow, and mud.
● Expands cargo capacity — take more gear without sacrificing space.
● Adds safety and accessibility — stable footing for roof access or retrievals.
● Improves functionality without bulk — sleek, modern design meets heavy-duty performance.
Combine a rear-mounted ladder with a roof rack, and you’ve got a workspace for setting decoys, cleaning game, or organizing gear before dawn. Add a drop-down table or side rack for quick meal prep, gear repair, or a morning coffee in the wild.
When it’s time to move from one spot to another, every tool, tire, and piece of equipment is right where you need it; ready for the next adventure.
