Flarespace Side Flares
Flarespace Side Pods allow you to turn your bed sideways, giving you more usable room and adding square footage to your van’s interiors.
Flares are fibreglass panels that will extend the width of your van, increasing usable space and opening up new design options. The size of a bed will be flexible in width and up to 79″ long. A bed can be installed 30-36″ off the floor.
The flares are designed to fit directly into the rear quarter panel of a van and will extend up to the window in the mid or front panel respectively. Flare dimensions vary for each type of van. This sleek design does not significantly impact the view in the side view mirrors and allows for full use of the slider door(s). Rear doors can still be opened 270 degrees with the use of an extended door stopper except when a rear door ladder is installed.
Flare Windows
An integrated window can be a great addition to your flares, let in some extra light and fresh air. Please consider the following things when deciding if windows are right for you:
- There is a foot of Flarespace below the CR Laurence 10" x 33" window where the bed length is unaffected. If the top of your mattress is at or around 34" off the floor, you will sleep below the window.
- Windows are noisier than insulated fibreglass and need privacy curtains.
- Half sliders do not move as much air as a 3-speed roof vent.
- Waking up to an amazing view right from your pillow is a great way to start the day!
Flarespace Window Options
Flarespace 1033 Awning Window
This low-profile window is glass rather than acrylic and is a great compliment to the Flarespace 1033 Slider window. The Flarespace 1033 Awning Window will also fit into the same 10 “x 33” opening as the Flarespace 1033 Slider Window. Finally interchangeable windows!
The FS Awning window opens 10°.
Flarespace 1033 Half Slider Window
The Flarespace 1033 Half Slider window will fit into a 10 “x33” opening and now includes a window shade and bug screen.
Artic Tern Window
The Arctic Tern Window is unlike slider windows, these units allow the full size of the window to be open for maximum ventilation. They feature double pane acrylic glazing that are made in Europe and meet strict European ECE standards and are DOT certified.
The FS Awning window opens 35°.
If you order Space Saver Trim Ring, this is your only driver’s side window option.
Using Flarespace Side Pods allows you to turn your bed sideways, giving you more usable room and added square footage within your van’s interiors.
The Original VW Crafter and The Mercedes Sprinter
The flares will fit the Original VW Crafter from 2006 to 2016, and the Mercedes Sprinter from 2006 onwards.
Flarespace makes 2 versions that fit the UK Models
- The 144" or as we call it, the MWB
- The 170" or the LWB or XLWB models.
Extended Flare Options
For the UK versions, the 144" (MWB) Sprinter or Crafter Flare is only available in Regular depth flares which will extend 3.25" off the rear quarter panel on each side. This is due to our UK Sliding door being on a different side to the US Vans.
The 170" (LWB or XLWB) flares come in Regular or Extended versions which will extend 5" on each side. This still works with the UK version as the flares are located in the rear panel that is not covered by an open sliding door.
The Extended Flare option does not cost more than the standard depth Flare and can be selected as a window or solid Flare.
The Ford Transit (2014 onwards)
Flares for the Ford Transit will fit the 130" and 148". Only available in regular depth flares. Once installed, you will have around 80" of space to sleep sideways in your Ford Transit.
L2 takes the 130" flares (it has a wheelbase of 3300mm)
- Comes in H2 (2490/1886mm) or H3 (2665/2125mm)
