- Join my minivan camper TOUR as I convert my 2023 Honda Odyssey from a 1-person (SOLO) bed to a TWO-PERSON (DOUBLE) bed. My bed is the Blitzbed made by TrunkMake. The end result is a minivan camper that COMFORTABLY sleeps TWO ADULTS with plenty of room for STORAGE. You'll get the full van tour and we'll discuss why we love the convenience of camping in our Honda Odyssey.
We'll also discuss our Minivan Camper mindset and whether camping in a minivan might be right for you. Come for the minivan camper conversion, stay for the beautiful ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK views!

a modern day Bob Ross to calmly explain the workings of everyday conversions! WTG Justin and your lovely sidekick! it was so enjoyable!
Thanks so much for the kind words. Really means a lot to me. To be the Bob Ross of hiking and camping videos would be a dream come true. For real.
This was exactly what we needed for our no build 2007 Honda Odyssey. Thanks a lot, Justin. You have no idea how much time you’ve saved us with this information.
Thanks Patrick! I'm so glad to hear it. Not sure if you are camping solo or with a companion. In case it is helpful to you, here' the link to my other vid that shows my setup for two-person sleeping. Cheers! th-cam.com/video/ILP-y7Hrqrs/w-d-xo.html
Ohmuhgosh!
I have watched every TH-cam van bed idea for the last year and nothing just seemed to click.
This set up absolutely hits every need of mine.
I’m absolutely buying this for my Chrysler Pacific minivan.
I can’t believe more people don’t know about this.
Thank you thank you thank you
Awesome! Please use the Trunk Mate link in the video description. It helps my channel at no cost to you. Best of luck!

I’m thrilled some folks find my vids helpful. Cheers!
Well thought out planning for a sleeper minivan.
Thanks! We'e been really happy with it. Just returned from a week camping in Arizona and it was great!
I did enjoy the video! Thanks for sharing info on the trunk mate!🚙🏞🌞👍
Right on! Thanks for the kind words.
Brilliant upload bud, enjoyable and so professionally explained 👏👏
Thanks for the kind words. Really appreciate it.
Will do!
I plan on ordering at the end of March
Are you getting the hybrid?
Nicely explained and gorgeous setting! Love the simplicity
Thanks a lot! Simplicity in this build is definitely my goal.
Thank you for the links and great video
Right on! I'm glad it was helpful. Cheers!
That's a great bed setup for the sloped back to level it out. What do you use on the Odyssey window openings to keep the misquitos out when you have the windows open @ night during warmer temps?
Thanks and great question! I have mesh screens for the windows, sunroof and even the tailgate. I'm planning on posting a video about how I stay cool while camping in the summer.
Great thanks I’m only 5’7
Justin got the same van as you! great video, question did you go to haul to get the roof rack and tow hitch installed?
Thanks! UHaul installed the trailer hitch. My local Honda dealership installed the roof rack (rails and crossbars). Cheers!
@@Justin_Hikes thank you!
Nice! Will the second row seats slide up without having to remove them for a mattress? The Toyota Sienna does.
Hi Tony. The second row seat do slide up on the Odyssey but not quite like the Sienna. I'm not sure my bed would fit without removing the seats. I'm 6'3". I was seriously considering the Sienna but having the OPTION to remove the seats was important to me. I used to have an older Sienna and the seats came out easily on the older models. Anyway, the Sienna still makes for a great minivan camper too. Cheers!
Any suggestions on ventilation, especially during summer?
Great question Tris. I have a small fan and mesh screens for all the windows including the sunroof. I'm planning on creating a video on this topic soon. Cheers!
I have a 2019 Honda odyssey thanks for sharing I’m not handy either, what size is your single bed?
I think it's 6'4". Plenty big for me at 6'3". Cheers!
As a tall guy, do you have trouble fitting on the front seat? I always find that I am too crammed in since most minivans don't offer much leg room for the driver.
I'm really comfortable in the front seat of the Odyssey. Plenty of legroom. Cheers!
The price isn’t….
That is too expensive
Zionist narrow twin with 6" memory foam mattress was recommended as a n inexpensive minivan option.
Coleman comfort cot is also less expensive and fits the same. Plus, it folds up smaller for storage. I've also seen shorter people use a foldable heavy duty tables that fits horizontally across the minivan with a 250-300lb wt. limit. I think it's about 47" long.
