I bought X-BULL Recovery Traction Boards as part of my camper van equipment.

Recovery Equipment in the Van Layout
I used SketchUp to plan the interior and put body openings ahead of the framing, floor and wall panels.
My Interior Preparation notes included the shower drain and openings for three water tanks in that preparation sequence.
I removed cargo tie-down hardware for later framing mounts and door trim for the later insulation and paneling.

My Takeaway for the Build
My interior-preparation diary put the layout ahead of finished panels and flooring. The traction-board purchase adds another bulky item to organize within that overall plan. Comparing board shape, handholds and the BUNKER jack-base feature gives a practical starting point for deciding where the boards will be stored.

Storage Features
Handles and mounting openings
X-BULL’s Gen 3.0 recovery-track reference shows the textured tire-contact surface, carrying handles and mounting openings. Those features serve different parts of the equipment layout: the surface engages the tire, while the handles and mounting points affect carrying and storage. For a van gear list, the stored pair needs its own accessible position alongside the other recovery equipment. The manufacturer’s family reference adds design information without changing the green variant recorded in my original purchase history. Recovery tracks also remain a different product type from the vehicle-service ramps shown elsewhere in the collection.
No. Recovery tracks provide a tire-traction surface; service ramps are a separate vehicle-access product.

Two Alternatives to Compare
MAXTRAX MKII and BUNKER INDUST offer different board shapes and tread layouts. The BUNKER set includes a jack-base feature, which changes the physical arrangement of the board.
These molded recovery boards provide a raised tread surface beneath a vehicle tire. Handholds and a long board profile allow the pair to be carried as travel equipment.
