I agree with the spirit of what you're saying but in reality I think it has more to do with the utterly customisable factor of a self-build build. Only you know what will best serve your needs and bcos you're doing it yourself you can build it to best suit your requirements. The RV industry tries to cater to what is most popular (or what they think they can convince the client is best for them)
Thought I've seen every campervan conversion video in youtubeland, especially Siennas. I was definitely wrong. Love ur build!! At least a dozen unique features I've never seen before. Ignore the negative Nellys.Thanks for sharing. Enjoy and safe travels!
Thank you. I studied up at RUclips University 😂 and Instagram and made a file of van stuff. I'd built a couple of bed platforms in the past, first in my trucks then one for this van. Made a list of must haves then tried to fit most of them in. It's still a work in progress.
Who knew???? I have an '04 Sienna that is a real basic build, but I have been thinking about a folding bed. This build is gorgeous! You are obviously a carpenter..
This is the most well thought out build I’ve ever seen. Well done Sir ! Regarding your filming skills, it is a learned skill that usually improves with time and experience. You did great for your first go at it. You seem a pretty reasonable person so I’m hoping you weren’t bothered too much by the hecklers. I always picture people who feel the need to put down a video for stupid stuff as ‘those living in their parents basement with cheeto dust on their pants.’ You have serious skills and talent and I thank you for sharing your home on wheels ❤
Well done. Highly functional. The fans are a great idea. Circulation is key. Upgraded suspension and tires was a great idea of clearance. Functional with zero wasted space. 👍🏽
I know. Sorry, it was my first video, and I was the cast and crew... and no editing software.🤣 My Inside my Mini Van video is probably easier to watch, if that helps.
@ no way worry. We all learning as we do videos 🚙. There’s a great van on wheels lady. She hasn’t realized she holds her camera low beneath her chest! As result her sit downs are shots up her nose😒. Sometimes it’s a total distraction♥️. We help each other by giving our hearts to the van community always. You see my distraction, l over communicate
This is by far the best build I’ve seen so far and I’ve seen hundreds. I wish my Sienna was built out. I’d settle for a bed/couch. Amazing!!! I can’t believe your van. WOW
Out of the thousands of van build videos I've watched in the last 3 years, this is the best! I will be using some of your ideas and checking out how you did it too. I hope my build turns out as well as yours. Very talented! Happy trails!
Yes I will do that in a future video, I promise. I realized after I recorded it I forgot to show them well. I do have details in my Instagram posts if you would details right away-Though they're a while back to wade through. I have a few pictures on my 8-11-23 post, the better description is from 5-29-2020. Hope that helps?
Wow. You have given me soooo many ideas. I have a 14 foot box truck I've had for 12 years that I was planning on building out. I've collected all the gear to build it out and just as I retired and was beginning to start work on it, the engine blew. I guess that's better than the engine blowing after the build though... Now I'm pivoting and considering going with a minivan for the better mileage and smaller footprint. Great video.
I had an extended Express van that blew it's transmission right when I retired 6 months ago and now I'm looking at minivans. If there are two of us thinking the same thing it must be the right way to go !
Such an inspiring build! Love how your brain works...my dad was a chemical engineer, and he brought that engineering brain to everything he did. Your approach to building out your van made me all nostalgic, thank you. 😊Very creative too. It has always seemed to me that many people with engineering type minds paint with their problem-solving. A joy to experience. And now, onto something much less...um...aesthetic. I have been a big dog, dog mom all of my adult life, and many years ago found compostable bags for dog poo. They are available on Amazon, as are compostable bags for garbage of varying sizes. If I could, I would take out ad space on RUclips to get the word out to all of the Van and RV-Lifers out there using so much plastic. All the best in your travels!
Thanks! My dad was an electrical engineer, so must have rubbed off some? We use the compostable dog bags for our dog, but they are a very poor quality bag. Wish I could use them for my toilet system but they just aren't confidence building in their not failing.Trelino composting toilet provide them, but a friend who has that toilet said the compostable bags really don't contain smell. Hopefully they will improve in time?
@@04_siennaminicamper-nu6vj Hey...good morning! (at least here in AZ). Yes, I definitely think it rubbed off, or perhaps, born in? 🤔 Anyway, regarding the bags. Yes, it is too true that they are thin and can be easy to tear/easy for odor to permeate. You didn't say, and I realize it's an obvious solution, have you doubled them? Still, maybe not enough, but worth a shot. I am ever hopeful regarding reducing plastics.
"We all stand on the shoulders of those who came before us..." There are many folding bed designs. Most? Consist of four pieces that rise in the middle to create a duel facing couch. I chose a three piece bed because that would have left the back of the couch too short for me. I want head/neck support. By utilizing just three pieces the back is longer.
This is an amazing build and I just I mean every time I turned around you had some pocket or some storage and I was like I didn’t even think these minivans had that much storage and I don’t really think they do. I think you’re just amazing builder and you’ve just made an amazing VAN I am jealous.😊
Sorry, don't want to make you jealous. Just want to expand your ideas of what's possible. Minivans just don't allow for the wasting of space that is done on the larger van builds. It helps to remove the interior that comes with a minivan. 😃
Impressive design and implementation. You are a dignified & brilliant maker Sir 🙏🏼 I would very happily live in this palace upon wheels. And I especially learned something from the XS (extra small) WC toilet… suffucient and functional albeit perhaps after a few target rounds 🥷💩
Thank you! That toilet really isn't any smaller than digging a cat hole while backpacking. Its biggest fall back is odor control. I will soon be adding a small composting toilet, as the crowds and impact of shovel dumping in fragile environments is not feeling environmentally sound anymore. Stay tuned for the review on the "no smell" toilet, ...I don't believe them. 😂
Awesome... Nice transformation, effective use of space... Small but still comfortable, complete facilities are also provided. Well done. 👍I have been ready to follow your journey ✌
I'm working on my own Sienna conversion currently. You clearly have a lot more skill and experience than me though, this build was so feature packed I couldn't believe it. Well done (i def smashed that subscribe button)
So unique and well thought out! Love the build and how you repurposed items not meant for an rv, like the computer fans and golf cart batteries for a small space like this. Going to check your other vids to see if it's there, but would love a view of all the camper and/or a sketch of your design to get a better idea of where everything you're showing is located.
Really well thought out build. Saw you remarked about your power costs. I have dumped the gen pack for a wind turbine. Takes a little engineering to get it compact but for the energy it provides it was well worth the effort. And even when theres no wind or sun i can set it up and take a nice easy drive and charge the house batteries without the alternator. Or combine them for a fast charge. But as you know, thats not the best for expensive batteries. Are you going to add a floor to your rear cover? Im in the process of doing that little job... you know exactly what that requires. But to have that added space enclosed is going to be a game changer. I was thinking about doing side tents but the space and weight made that seem a little much. Besides, not too stealthy if you have to spend a night in town. I opted for the town and country touring for the stow N go seating. Once those are removed the space under the floor is insanely large. Yours is the first Sienna ive seen done up. And did you ever do a nice job! Thats a lot of gear in such a tight package. You really did your planning. And I like the suspension upgrade. Good thinking.
Thank you for your videos. Maybe next time have somebody stand further back and do the filming from further back, while you talk and point things out, So we can see a broader view of the whole inside of the van, less jumpy, less zoomed in. ❤❤❤ you did a great job.
This is fabulous! Any chance of seeing more about the keder rails and how you installed and how the mosquito nets look all attached around the van? This is brilliant!
It would have been great if you listed where you got all these things. This is the best van build I have seen. clearly you put a lot of thought into every single thing!
@@04_siennaminicamper-nu6vj no, but I hope to have a van in the future and I am seeing what the best options are. You seem to have great ideas. Please do not go to any trouble on my account. This is probably way in the future for me!
you talked about your mods ..., but, did not actually show them and how they work but still love your videos and your build described everything in detail kinda cool and thank you for the info what videos to watch
You are correct. I didn't show them. The AWD springs and struts look just like the the FWD, except cleaner. Guess I could have video'd them, but not much to see there. It's the concept of swapping AWD suspension parts for FWD. If you really need to see what they look like please check my Instagram posts. The very early posts 8-2019. I have pictures there of the parts before the installation side by side with the old. There's also a few posts about the airlift airbags with pictures. Installed 6-2020, and modifications a year later. Hope that helps.
The van as it is is perfect for one person. Yes it would be nice to be able to stand up, and have a little more interior room. For two people it's a little more crowded. I'm waiting for the Sprintobago vans to come out with a good hybrid that gets much better gas mileage. At present, a short, medium roof is what I'd be looking at, though I would like 10' interior space to build out as a minimum.
Don't got those pc fans but they got similar fans that is bigger. Got one of those hart tool fan it's brushless, so efficient fan. Use any 20 volt lithium tool battery because of the mod or just made it work. The big hyper tough don't work without a capacitor for some reason. Comes on and off cycle.
Thank you, but not at present looking to do builds. I spent about nine months plugging away before I was ready for road tripping, but it was during Covid, so parts trickled in slowly and couldn't go anywhere until lock downs ended.
Awesome build. Where did you get those pouch pockets at 9:20? Brand? Also, what brand of diesel heater did you get? Is that the fuel tank that came with it?
Thank you. The pouch pockets my wife sewed up... Custom.😃 The diesel heater was from maxingpeedrods or some such on amazon. No that diesel tanks was an extra $50 and well worth it. I had two tanks and they both leaked-the caps don't seal well on the ones that come with the heaters.
Do you have the measurements of your bed/ couch I could not see much of it due to the bedding on top. I really enjoyed every minute. Of your build video
Yes it's about 73" long, back door is curved a little so longer at center shorter at sides. It's 47.5" wide. If you want more bed detail I have a video on the bed in my channel.

Where he says they are. I could tell that and I was skipping thru that bit - not required imo but I guess it depends on the type of build you're planning and how much power you think you'll need (not saying you don't need a spare battery but all that wiring etc, just overcomplicates; I've seen way more simple builds that work fine)
18:12 Her urinal and ingenious poop "bucket" that requires precise aim! You are a master designer/builder and have shared so many great ideas of the minimum equipment needed and efficient use of space. Do you have experience living on a boat?
Actually it's a PIA, as it's a counter top in my van, so everything has to get moved to open it.It's a constant shifting of stuff. I did this as it was originally a sink there.
Phenomenal build. How he accurately uses that poop bag is one of those "I don't want to know ,but I want to know, but I don't want to know" things
Maybe I'll do a video in the future? 🤣
You can use foil chip bags to temporarily store filled poop bags - ikea clip to close. Smell is completely contained.

This is not a van. This is a spaceship. 🚀 😊
Brilliant comment. Utterly true AND deeply funny in the most respectful way. This is the man to have with you when stranded!
Wow....this is probably the best mini van build I've seen. Very detailed and ingenious
@AmyPellerin2368 check out the conversions of Bruce Parks, Eric Enjoys Earth, vinnyandrocky & LensofJames
Silver Cabin has a fantastic minivan too, & is worth checking out.
To tell you the truth, I hardly listened to all your amazing adds because I was mesmorized by how great the exterior looked for a car that old!
It has a great number more stripes on the sides from Manzanita bushes on narrow roads, since I recorded this video. 🤣
Good for you, You really did make the best out of what you have. And the ingenuity is outstanding. Always great to have a creative mind.
Very detailed a place for everything and everything in its place .
Insane amount of stuff! Looks like you could sustain for a long time. I think you thought of everything. Good stuff.
😮This Van is amazing looks like a regular van from the outside but the inside is amazingly detailed everything a house will need well done 😊
Love all the thoughtfulness and innovation…but that sliding kitchen is the best.

I could tell that and I was skipping thru that bit - not required imo but I guess it depends on the type of build you're planning and how much power you think you'll need (not saying you don't need a spare battery but all that wiring etc, just overcomplicates; I've seen way more simple builds that work fine)

Amazing 👏
Very well done.
Thanks💘
I got a good idea. I can open my first drawer from the top!💯💙💜❤
Actually it's a PIA, as it's a counter top in my van, so everything has to get moved to open it.It's a constant shifting of stuff. I did this as it was originally a sink there.
Amazing!!!!
Tight! Great job
