Vancillary Reviews

Just finished installing the Vancillary DIY overhead shelf kit in our 2023 Ford Transit. I chose to used 1/2” Sandeply and added upholstery cloth that we had used elsewhere in the van to the bottom and back lip of the shelf. Great added space to store things like window shades and the like. The provided pattern was great and easy to use. If you can handle a circular saw, jigsaw and a drill, this is an easy project. My only suggestion would be in regards to the screws used to attach the fron...

We recently purchased a short wheel base sprinter having had a Dodge Ram Promaster as our prior rig. The sprinter is a dream to drive by comparison but space is at a premium. This is a fully camperized unit built out by Pleasureway industries and the headliner shelf fits perfectly. It has a clean minimalistic lines that look like it was part of the build and it greatly increases our storage space. Simple to install and no issues with gear leaving the tray during driving. We love it and will be r...

We love our new headliner shelf! We were so eager to get it installed before our two week trip, unsure if we would have the time to make it happen. Sean was great at rushing the order to us when he realized how quickly we needed it, and it really WAS easy to install, aside from the fact that we ended up mistakenly using 3/4 in ply instead of 1/2 inch, so we had to take more time to find different hardware that fit. But it so beautifully and simply stores our window coverings and some books, whic...

This kit is awesome! We tweaked it a little by using pine (cheaper) and we made the shelf an inch longer. Now it line up directly with the headliner seam. It’s awesome. Very easy to follow and even easier to install. We used the shelf as a stencil and put a piece of thin outdoor carpeting on the top (to keep the wood safe) and bottom (for patches). We intend on installing some L brackets to the shelf edge and putting an L track on the front of it for light things like jackets and towels. Overa...

I installed this little device (before it was available from Vancillary) 4 3/4 years ago for the door of my 2018 PleasureWay Ascent on a Mercedes Benz Sprinter chassis. It was the very first modification I made to my RV. My only regret is that I might have installed it a little farther forward, had I waited until I’d used my RV a few times, perhaps closer to the edge of the kitchen cabinetry, as can be seen in the picture. In that 4 3/4 year period, the black anodizing has worn off of the inte...

As we drove our class B camper van we often looked at the wasted space over our heads. The Vancillary shelf kit makes all that space available. And it’s easy to do. Yes, you’ll need a jigsaw to actually cut the shelf but an excellent template is included. Take your time, let the saw do the work and you’ll find it’s easy. The brackets and bolts fit perfectly and the instructions are easy to understand. The height of the new shelf is just right and once installed you’ll get loads of storage space ...

I ordered my kit directly from Vancillary on June 19. I was immediately sent detailed PDF sourcing/installation instructions and the CAD files. The brackets and my pattern arrived in the mail on June 24. Vancillary headman, Sean Jacklin, got back to me right away with some suggestions to my questions about how to mount the shelf below the brackets (the pattern/instructions call for the shelf to go above the brackets). Cutting out the pattern, transferring it to my wood, cutting out the wood, ins...
