Yeah, we're a little obsessed—but that's because we actually live and camp out of these rigs ourselves, and we know that every single inch is pure gold when you are configuring a custom floor plan. We swear by these Vanspeed side capsules because they solve the ultimate campervan bottleneck: they let you mount a full-size bed sideways across the chassis instead of eating up your entire living room with a long vertical platform. They provide a massive shortcut to extended sleeping space, adding up to 10 inches of vital head-to-toe stretching room while maintaining a completely smooth, factory-grade side profile. \u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/41qxd6.share-na2.hsforms.com\/29bufDkHjQ5aTe0D_9wWVQA\" class=\"ng-star-inserted\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eAsk Us Product Questions Anytime\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e to pick our brains on dimension clearances or paint matching before you start making cuts!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"2\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWCV EXPERT TIP:\u003c\/b\u003e Cutting massive windows into the side of your van's body panels can be a bit intimidating for first-time builders. Pro Tip: Before you squeeze out your first structural adhesive bead, remember that prep work is everything. These fiberglass capsules arrive in a raw, premium gel-coat finish—meaning they are perfectly cured and completely ready for your local body shop to prep, prime, and paint-match them to your van’s exact factory color code. Also, if your chassis is a 170\" wheelbase variant, double-check your panel layout: these pods are designed exclusively for the rear bed zones and are not compatible with the middle factory glass locations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePRODUCT OVERVIEW\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eThe Vanspeed Side Capsules are high-strength, lightweight fiberglass body extensions engineered explicitly for extended lateral sleeping layouts. Proudly manufactured in California using advanced CAD modeling and professional drafting dimension charts, this premium kit transforms the rear side panels of your van into deep, aerodynamic alcoves. By extending outward, the driver-side and passenger-side capsules deliver a combined lateral increase of up to 11.5 inches of internal cabin width. This allows tall travelers to sleep comfortably sideways across the van frame, instantly reclaiming valuable front-to-back floor space for custom galleys, showers, or secondary seating layouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eBEST FOR\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e• \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"2\"\u003eLATERAL SIDEWAYS BED CONFIGURATIONS:\u003c\/b\u003e The ultimate modification for tall overlanders who want to comfortably sleep width-wise across the van cabin to reclaim interior floor space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e• \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9\" data-index-in-node=\"2\"\u003eMAXIMIZING FIXED FLOORPLANS:\u003c\/b\u003e Ideal for custom builders looking to open up enough room for luxury additions like full-size interior showers or expanded galley kitchen layouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003e• \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"12\" data-index-in-node=\"2\"\u003eBODY COMPONENT PROFILE:\u003c\/b\u003e Lightweight fiberglass aerodynamic lateral extension side bed capsules\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13\"\u003e• \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"13\" data-index-in-node=\"2\"\u003eSTRUCTURAL MATERIAL MATRIX:\u003c\/b\u003e Heavy-duty, high-rigidity lightweight molded automotive fiberglass\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14\"\u003e• \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"14\" data-index-in-node=\"2\"\u003eSURFACE PREP FINISH:\u003c\/b\u003e Premium smooth gel-coat finish (ready for automotive prep, primer, and paint)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"15\"\u003e• \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"15\" data-index-in-node=\"2\"\u003eDRIVER-SIDE EXTENSION SPACE:\u003c\/b\u003e Provides roughly 6.5” of additional depth (5.75” if utilizing the inner trim kit)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"16\"\u003e• \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"16\" data-index-in-node=\"2\"\u003ePASSENGER-SIDE EXTENSION SPACE:\u003c\/b\u003e Provides roughly 5.0” of additional depth (4.5” if utilizing the inner trim kit)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"17\"\u003e• \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"17\" data-index-in-node=\"2\"\u003eMAXIMUM LATERAL GAIN CAP:\u003c\/b\u003e Up to an 11.5” total increased lateral cabin width in the affected rear bed areas\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"18\"\u003e• \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"18\" data-index-in-node=\"2\"\u003eTRIM KIT EXPANSION METRIC:\u003c\/b\u003e Provides an optimized 10.25” of total added lateral span when paired with the Capsule Trim Kit\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"19\"\u003e• \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"19\" data-index-in-node=\"2\"\u003eVEHICLE CHASSIS COMPATIBILITY:\u003c\/b\u003e Fits standard 144\" and 170\" wheelbases (2008-Present) \/ Extended 170\" EXT wheelbases (2014-Present)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"20\"\u003e• \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"20\" data-index-in-node=\"2\"\u003eMANUFACTURING \u0026amp;
