This is going to become more popular. I think its really what most people need. You can set something up like this for 5k total, instead of spending 50k+ on a sprinter van. Most of these can put the seats under the floor so you dont really need to modify it for a bed. You also get way better MPG than a Sprinter. Other vans are in such high demand, this is a great solution
It's exactly what I'm about to be doing once sell house for those exact reasons combined with being stealth, much easier to have shop work on them / tow, the list goes on. You can also pull small cargo trailer, diferent roof options, and many other things. Entire point of van life is travel and explore with simple place to sleep - it's not to stay in $200,000 sprinter.
I've got this same van and just did a 5,000 mile road trip from South Carolina to Utah. I love your use of space
The 2011 sienna has the spare underneath the right side of second row seating. Look under the slide door from the outside. I’ve had 3 different siennas. Both your model and the previous model stored it there. You need to find the cut out in the carpet by the second row right seat. There is a bolt you use the tire iron to turn and it’ll lower the tire. Make sure you pump it up periodically once you locate it. Hopefully this helps.
Hey, did you get your Siennas lifted? If so how high? Are you happy with it?
His vehicle is AWD so it doesn't come with a spare. It comes with run flat tires.
I came here to leave this comment. It looks like his shelving unit is probably on top of the screws to lower the spare.
No spare on AWDs.
Keeping the seat next to your bed with the fold down desk is super nice!
Cool minivan build! I have the European Toyota Estima and love it! I had a sprinter camper and far too much of a pain as a daily driver in Europe so I got the Toyota minivan and it’s great!
need to make a trip to see elton and corey again if it’s not out of the way of course lol that’d be awesome
I loved watching you in the ambo and I still look forward to your new videos in the mini van! Definitely like to see that you make any size work for you! Look forward to seeing all the amazing spots you take the van too.
Thank you! I appreciate the support even though I’m in a completely opposite vehicle now haha I miss the ambo!
Just a friendly suggestion...maybe put the shoes just on the other side where the tools are? Since that is annoying and well, could cause an accident...jsn...if I ever get out on the road, think I'm going to get that fridge...that being able to plug in easily to a battery and not convert or anything complicated, AND uses little power is what i need!
Safe travels my friend!
Nice and functional... it does the job...!
Brandon when you add the inline fuse to the Anker is there a possibility you can do a video on that? How you have that settup is exactly how I planned on setting up my power station.
Tire slime should seal it up!!!lol
Like it has been said before, the spare is under the van. I'm just picturing you kicking yourself after realizing it could have been there when you had a flat 😊. I personally don't like the "chicken" tire they give you and I'm wanting to get a full size spare but I have been told it would be too low to the ground underneath so I'm trying to figure the best way to carry a full size spare tire without it being inside and I am not sure about mounting it on the back of the van. I'm considering the roof rack
I thought you and Sarah were traveling in that swagger wagon together? hmmm? :)
Do you want one of us to die?! Hahah
I do the same thing with my shoes and shower shoes I have a issue with just one pair while driving must suck with multiple ones good video 👍
The real cool thing is when you get pulled over for too dark of tinted windows...you can laugh at the cop. Also...tire plugs would have worked on that blown tire.😂
Cozy cool
Got a spare tire in my Toyota Senna under the second roll right seat
Donut or full size??
Full size
I believe it's a fill size
Very nice
I have a 2013 dodge rams tradesmen's with a spare under the van. check if you have a spot to put on there.
I love the Mini conversion. I bet its a lot easier to stealth camp now. Do you miss the Ambulance though? Oh and, You might already know this. There should be a spare tire under the car. Maybe its just missing. It goes under the right rear passenger floorboard. There is a nut you turn to lower it and raise it. The hardware to hang it should be there.
The stealthiness of the minivan has been great to be honest! Of course I miss the ambo though, and yeah my minivan definitely had no spare
How do you heat and cool the van? Just idle the engine and use van's HVAC system?
Great video
I am interested in stealth camping
Can you advise on
AWD vs FWD vans? Which one is better? Thanks
Be cool if you could get a spare wheel holder that goes on your boot door (sorry trunk door) I'm in the UK lolol, but yer like they have on Land Rovers, least thst way you'll have a spare to get you out of trouble
We should be charging the e-bike off the power inverter anytime the car is running
Hey Brandon; do you ever worry about losing the e-bike, it being on show all the time? Does it lock down to the tow hitch?
Yes I do stress about that a lot haha. But it is heavily locked down to the van
spare tire under minivan , you remove carpet back seat and there way to screeew and spare will fall down
Like you videos
Did you look underneath the back of the car for the spare tire? My minivan had one there
Some Sienna's do include a spare but his year and model do not
I love your videos, how long do you think you will keep this van?
For a lot longer than I usually keep vehicles haha
Def made a good choice with a Toyota.
😊
With all of the stories about lithium batteries catching fire, do you worry about the one you have catching fire in your van?
Lithium polymer vs lithium iron phosphate. Different kind of battery.
@@marionsutcliffe1119 yes, while LiFePO4 batteries are a lot safer they still have risks from overcharging, short-circuiting, physical damage, and extreme temps
Remove the passenger seat for double the storage there, make a shelf/table, so much better
🔜😝
A patch kit 😂😂😂 that tire should still hold air, wym?
