ARB, one of the world’s leading manufacturers and suppliers of 4x4 accessories, is bringing the same level of customisation that made it such a popular brand amongst offroad enthusiasts to the world of vans.

While the Australian company’s products are already hugely popular amongst off-road enthusiasts, the company has now developed an extensive range of accessories tailored specifically for British van owners, allowing them to live the #vanlife.

ARB, which has its UK headquarters in the Midlands, the heart of the British motor industry, recognises the growing popularity of vans as recreational and lifestyle vehicles driven partly by the boom in staycations following the Covid pandemic. Its van accessories range allows owners to easily transform any van into the perfect mobile home or overland exploration vehicle, or even just better protect it against the elements.

One of ARB's flagship van products is the BASE Rack roof rack, a version of which is already a best seller amongst 4x4 and pick-up drivers. Made from lightweight yet extremely strong aluminium, the BASE Rack provides a sturdy platform to carry extra gear on top of the van. It features a unique slotted design which facilitates quick and versatile attachment of various accessories. Owners can outfit their roof rack with accessories like bike racks, kayak carriers, roof tents, spare tyre holders, and more to transform their van into an all-purpose explorer vehicle.

For extra storage and organisation inside the van, ARB is also offering its popular modular drawer system. Made to slide smoothly in and out on low-profile tracks, the drawers provide secure and accessible storage without compromising valuable living and relaxation space. The drawer systems can be custom-configured to suit any van layout. And, to truly make a van a home away from home, a slide-out kitchen drawer offers a two-burner stove, collapsible sink and counter top.

Matt McConaghy, Commercial Director at ARB UK, said: “As we launch our new expanded range of van accessories, we bring nearly 50 years of expertise in 4x4 and automotive accessories to the thriving community of British van owners.

“Vans are no longer just vehicles for tradespeople; they are a lifestyle choice, increasingly popular for recreational adventures, weekends away and even permanent residences. We are delighted to be part of this exciting trend, recognising the evolving needs of van owners in the UK.

“In a world where vans are becoming increasingly customised and unique to their owners, ARB UK is thrilled to be the architect of these transformative experiences. We're not just providing accessories; we're unlocking the potential for unforgettable journeys, offering a kaleidoscope of possibilities for van owners to infuse their personality and passions into their mobile home away from home.” ENDS
