Professional Flarespace Installation for Vans

Adding flare space for vans is one of the most effective ways to increase sleeping space inside a camper van. By extending the van's sidewalls, flare systems allow travelers to sleep sideways, freeing up valuable interior room for storage and living space.

At The Vansmith in Boulder, Colorado, we provide professional flarespace install services for adventure vans. Our team installs high-quality campervan body flares designed to expand interior width while maintaining durability and weather resistance.

Whether you're building a new camper van layout or upgrading an existing interior, professionally installed custom van flares help create more functional sleeping arrangements for van life.

Custom Van Flares for Camper Conversions

Modern campervan body flares are designed to integrate smoothly with van exteriors while improving interior usability. These flares extend the van body outward, creating additional sleeping width without increasing the overall vehicle length.

Different Flare Sizes and Styles
Flares are available in multiple shapes and sizes depending on the van model and sleeping layout, allowing you to optimize bed placement and interior space for your specific build.
Color-Matched Exterior Finishes
Many custom van flares can be painted to match the van's exterior color, creating a seamless appearance while maintaining the vehicle's original style.
Insulated Interior Options
Insulated campervan body flares improve temperature control and reduce condensation inside the sleeping area — especially helpful for colder climates and high-elevation camping.
Integration with Van Interiors
Professionally installed flare space integrates cleanly with interior cabinetry, insulation, and sleeping platforms without sacrificing storage or living space.

The Vansmith Flarespace Installation Process

Installing flare space for vans requires careful planning and precise installation to ensure durability and weather protection.

  1. 1 Preparation

    Our team prepares the van body by measuring placement areas and protecting surrounding surfaces before installation begins.

  2. 2 Cutting

    The van side panel is carefully cut to create the opening needed for the flarespace install. Precision cutting ensures the flare fits properly with the van body.

  3. 3 Fitting and Sanding

    The flare is test-fitted to confirm alignment and proper shape. Minor sanding adjustments ensure the custom van flares sit flush against the van exterior.

  4. 4 Adhesive Application

    Industrial-grade adhesives are applied to securely bond the campervan body flares to the van structure, creating a durable and weather-resistant seal.

  5. 5 Securing

    The flares are secured using mounting hardware and bonding systems designed for long-term durability, keeping the flare stable during highway travel and changing weather.

  6. 6 Finishing

    Edges are sealed and finished to create a clean, professional appearance inside and outside the van. Interior surfaces can be insulated and trimmed to match the interior.

Installing flare space for vans allows sideways sleeping, which increases interior living space and improves overall layout flexibility. It is one of the most effective ways to improve sleeping comfort without increasing vehicle length.
