TOYOTA SIENNA CAMPER VAN CONVERSION QUICK TOUR
FULL TOUR HERE: ruclips.net/video/sESmDLLwYW4/видео.html
Here is the tour of the minivan that I converted into a camper van and have been using for adventures and trips over the last two years. This van was designed to be functional over aesthetic. Everything you see was designed and built by myself with plenty of inspiration from other youtube channels that I will list below. Nothing is permanent except for the holes for the diesel heater exhaust. Everything else was meant to be completely removable in case I wanted to convert the van back to normal.

    next time use wood shims and a level to get you stove on even surface. Also ge the griddle on high and then lower the temperature and allow time to cool the griddle down to where you can put the meat on to get seared and then allow to be flipped over. find an old dome wok lid to use as a miniature oven dome to melt the cheese quicker and to warm up meat that you have precooked to make further burgers, instead a one and two unit. Say for large group.

  • @chuyocaca4153
    @chuyocaca4153 5 месяцев назад

    A new one can run you! between $ 85 Bucks! and $ 115.00 Dollars! always replace them with a new one whenever possible. also once you move the steering wheel to get access to the 12 inch bolts (top and bottom) tie the steering wheel with a rope against the driver side seat or use the seatbelt but make sure it does Not Move! last but not least before removing the lower steering shaft part mark it's original position with a whiteout pen. or and orange color otherwise your steering wheel might end up off centered? and a new alignment will not fix the problem.

    It’s real easy to heat the seasoning right out of the griddle. Only use as much heat as needed, and heat it before seasoning it.

    Oh snap! I didn't realize this was a best of 3 series! Yes! Still a chance. But it was short lived. That first round must have demoralize you. Didn't even get the tank on the stove this time. Then going rogue again, waiting for the hiss, failed again to fully open the valve, told us all that crappy yellow flame is normal, and going on about always opening the aux burner all the way? Where did that come from? I can hear the color commentators now, "This will go down as one of the monumental choke jobs of all time, Jim! Coming from you Tony, that's saying something. Back to back humiliating losses. Do you think he can ever come back from this, Tony? I think he can, Jim. He just has to get his head right and read the instruction. Reading it is one thing, Tony. Will he FOLLOW them, is the question. You're absolutely right, Jim. Only time will tell. Look at the fans leaving, Tony. Have you ever seen anything like this? Coleman fans are heading for the exits and it's not even halftime. Coleman fans are smart, Jim. They know what right looks like. And frankly, he didn't bring it today. We'll say so long until next time as we send you to a more competitive game."

  • @mikemorgan5015
    @mikemorgan5015 11 месяцев назад

    You were doing so well too. I was rooting for you, you know. So many failed stove lighting videos. "Could this be the one?", I thought. Fueled it up. Check. Installed it on the stove properly. Check. Pumped the right amount of pressure. Check. "Man, he's gonna get it right!" I thought. Lighting lever up. Check! "Go baby, go!!" .... And in and instant, it all went to shit. I've read just about every Coleman stove manual ever printed. I never read in any of them to "wait until you hear the hiss" I was your biggest fan for a few shining moments. I was encouraging you from afar, "light the lighter, cmon, light the ligher, Nope nope not the valve light the....." Whooof!!! And in an instant, you snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. Some would say you choked in crunch time. When team Coleman needed you most. You were Tony Romo dropping the snap for the game winning field goal. That guy grabbing that other guy for a penalty that led to the SuperBowl winning score. There are two kind of goats in competition. I'll leave that to others. The lightning quick back step said it all. It told everyone you had the right stuff. You were poised to be elevated to that rarefied known to but a few. So close. But you had to wait for the hiss. Never mind the instructions printed on the stove lid in front of your face. After all, what do those engineers in Wichita and Toronto who designed the stove and wrote those instructions know? You knew better than they, how to run the culmination of their life's work. You did the unthinkable, you went ROGUE! But the real crime had yet to occur. You could have acknowledged that something was amiss when that bunsen was burning inside. There was still time left on the clock, there was still a chance. The underburn went away miraculously. As if from the hand of God himself. Redemption was coming, you still had the ball. All you had to do was keep your wits about you and open that valve all the way. Open it! OPEN IT!! But you shriveled up into the fetal position and indecisively backed off. The under burn gone. Still a chance. But it was slipping away FAST. Open that valve and get to pay dirt for the big win and beautiful blue flames. But no. You were satisfied to take a knee. To tell everyone that 10 inch yellow lazy flame was normal. That we'd just have to wait for things to settle down. What you were really saying was, "We got off to a good start, but every season come to an end and today wasn't our day." Indeed. As for me? I'm back to my journey. Looking for the ones with the right stuff. The ones that read the scouting report that tells them to hold that lighted match to the main burner and open that valve fully. I know they exist. I've met a few of them. The greats. Some would call them the OTHER kind of GOATs. They make it look so easy. Effortless, in fact. "How do they do that?!", I hear them say in awe. I calmly and proudly tell them, "They follow the instructions. They are WINNERS!"
