The solution: Opt for a removable layout kit
Plan your journey in advance
Take along dry foods that keep well
Promoting local shops
Thanks to the many storage compartments available in our layout kits, you can take food from home with you, saving costs once you're there. Take dry foods such as rice, pasta or wheat, or canned goods that keep well over time.
To avoid packaging and waste, we recommend you use glass jars, which you can fill according to your needs.
❌ We avoid "mini courses" on site which often cost us a lot of money, we come out with too much and this often encourages over-packaging! Anticipation is the best ally for the vanlife economy!
✅ Ideally, you should plan your meals in advance, so that you can plan the right quantity and take only what you need for 3 days, for example! (The extra hot chocolate croissant is highly recommended😉).
When it comes to fresh food, you can also plan ahead according to your travel time. In the kit van or Micro Camper you can drag a compression fridge to keep your food fresh. But be careful with your fridge's autonomy to avoid unpleasant surprises.
If you have the opportunity, going to the market is always a great activity to do and helps avoid waste and packaging. It's also a great way to get to know the locals and discover local specialties.

You can start by adopting a smooth driving style, anticipating traffic as much as possible to avoid slowing down or accelerating too quickly, which consume a lot of fuel.
