HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 мар 2019
- This video is a van tour of a do it yourself (DIY) van conversion of a minivan into a camper. The video will give good ideas how to convert any van into a camper. With this example, you’ll see that you can do a great DIY conversion even with a minivan!
It shows that anybody can do a great conversion and a great camper without spending too much money!
You’ll see that you can do a van conversion without modifying the van, so you won’t deteriorate the salvage value when you’ll sell it. Foremost, you’ll be able to transfer every pieces of van conversion that you will have built into a similar new van! You’ll save a lot of time and money with such a transferable design.
Also, this example will show you that you can do a great van conversion with just a few tools!
The objective of the video is to encourage and stimulate you to realize your dream of van conversion and go live in the great outdoors!
This video is the first of a series that will explain how to proceed to convert a van by doing it yourself (DIY).
Sorry for the accent, English is my second language.
Erik, I've watched a lot of van conversion videos. I mean a LOT of videos. This is the first one that talked about "transferability" and not altering your vehicle. This is an amazing idea! I'm stunned that no one else has gone into vanlife with this idea. Thank you so much for making and uploading this video!
Thank you! You’re right, so much advantage!👍
Enjoy planning you van conversion !
I am starting to see a few conversions that are maintaining the original structure and integrity of the van. Mostly the conversion like that are being done by engineers, builders and carpenters. All very experienced and skilled, male and younger than I. Lol. I am young, relatively healthy 70 year old woman. I am excellent with figuring out sizes and dimensions, have built a few shaker style pieces years ago, but I really like this conversion because items are lightweight and easily retrofitted if needed.
Lots of people do "modification free" conversions, but they NEVER look this good. This looks like a custom build, usually what is associated with modification of the vehicle. Not to mention lots of work and cost - this is like the best of both worlds. It's incredible.
Agreed. I would love to see him do a little bigger van too !
If you’re looking for transferability without modification to the vehicle, then look into truck canopy camper build outs.
I'm glad that someone with the brains to come up with something like this took the time to share it with everyone. It's brilliant. The water tank accessability and being able to run all appliances from a small solar panel is huge. Amazing build.
Thank you! This is an awesome comment! I appreciate! ✌️
Brains and heart. Both. At the same time. Kind of rare.
That’s very flattering thank you ✌️
I'm a 62yo mom with a 25yo son in a wheelchair and just got a 2023 toyota sienna ramp van. Trying to convert the back bench seat into bed for my son to simplify traveling, diapering and intrusion on others (he's really happy/loud, developmentally disabled). You've given me the first hope that I can pull this off.
Thank you Beth for your comment! I am happy to be of any help. 😃✌️
I made your bed and cabinet for my own Sienna and it came out pretty well. Getting those contours right was tedious and time consuming, but worth it. Mine's a bit of a tighter fit than yours and so far I haven't noticed rattling, or need to secure it. I even sewed my own box cushion covers and I'm a dude who didn't sew until a few days ago. Thanks for the plans and very well done videos! If you are interested, let me know how I can send you a few pictures.
This is a great comment David! I am glade to know that you achieved your van’s project goal! You will enjoy it so much!
Yes, if you have a link to your van I’ll be glade to see your van!
✌️
Don't appologize for your accent. You speak very well.
Love your conversion.
Thank you Deborah! 😃
Agree. Everyone has an accent
Agreed! Your accent is perfectly understandable. I wish I could speak a second language as well as you speak English. Your van conversion is wonderful as well.
Sorry to disagree, and not to be disagreeable. I am fluent in 2 langusges, one of which is French. The accent is heavy and distracting. Good effort, though. His vocabulary and grammar are excellent. Yet he is speaking American out of a French mouth. He is the sort who'll progress in fluency rapidly.
Anastasia Hopkinson his accent is perfectly understandable. His accent is not a distraction it is who he is, and who he is is pretty darn interesting and entertaining.
One of the best conversions I ever seen. Very practical and efficient.
Thank you!
100% agree with you Vince.
@@funkyzone431 Me too :)
This is a really smart conversion. I like just having storage on one side with sink. With sink accessible from both outside and inside. Would this setup fit in another model van or is it specific. Does the setup make noise as you drive?
This is the best minivan build I've ever seen
Deep in the comments, don't know if you'll read this but just want to hello to a fellow surfer. GREAT build my friend! You are living the dream (this very moment) life is too short to not be Surfin as much as you possibly can on planet Earth as well as everybody else with their hobbies and interest strong blessings to everyone everywhere do what you love. Sending positive vibes from Northern California🙇♂️✌
Awesome comment! Thank you!👍😁✌️
I have just purchased my 2017 Chrysler Pacifica mini van and all seats stow and go. But of course overwhelmed with possibilities. I am 68 year old woman and want to be able to do something simple. And how you explain is very easy to understand and to replicate. I have some experience with tools and love that you can do this conversion with just 2 power tools. I feel like I have found the set up for me. Thank you. Do you have these videos in sequence? Watching Costs and Steps now. 🙏🏽 what a great gift your channel is.
Thank you Deborah for this great comment. I am pleased that you enjoy my videos.
There is playlists on my channel that you can use. Here’s two:
ruclips.net/p/PLB4vW5hB1e8Vi9wM9OzQU59NtSmpUAHXH
ruclips.net/p/PLB4vW5hB1e8UunSPpQ3_QWsLnhXUldJU2
You can definitely succeed converting your Pacifica. Go one project at a time, and you will finish it at your taste!
Enjoy! 😃✌️
Exactly the inspiration I was looking for. A commercial van with a high roof seems nice for a mobile home and a « cheap » RV, but is still way too expensive. Siennas and Odyssey are hyper reliable and Dodge Grand Caravans are such a bargain, I always wonder why more vanlifers don’t have your (even more) minimalist approach.
Good job. Félicitations, bon voyage!
Thank’s Jonathan for your smart reflexion. That size of van is similar to the legendary so loved Westfalia. Make sens!
Thank you! 😃
You gentlemen are right on the money, I think. I started with a Grand Caravan - just as you suggested - and I picked up it for $500. I learned a LOT from experimenting with my first 2 builds. I'm now working on a conversion of the Sienna's sibling, a 2007 Highlander - similar in size, but with more ground clearance and available as a hybrid
Actually, you can get a high quality Toyota SUV for less then $6k! The better years are 2000-2005 anyway, sochesper to get! I have my eye on a 2001 Toyota 4 Runner for $5k with less than 150k miles on it. Im just trying to figure out of the Sienna or the 4 Runner is best...Sienna looks like it has more room for some resson
A minivan as certainly more living height inside. If you want to seat at a table, it is an important aspect to consider...
I had an Xterra for 5 years and enjoyed it a lot, traveling and sleeping anywhere. But my minivan as way more inside space than that SUV.
Before buying, it is best to figure out the layout that you can do in both of them. That way you will take the best decision to fit your dream! Enjoy planning your van conversion Ash✌️
@@MarcillaSmith I believe the Sienna has considerable more cargo space. Can one put larger tires on the Sienna?
I sleep better in that van than at home. Priceless, subbed!
Thank you my friend!✌️
I was already committed to van life. This video just converted me to minivan life.
Great comment Jason! 👍 Thank you!✌️
I love this, you make me feel like finally I can really do this and all’s I need is a drill and a jigsaw! Please cover every last detail, the table and it’s attachment to 3! Places, I’d like to see how you cook inside and finally a little about your favourite travels and locations that you have visited... looks like you get to some interesting places. Thanks.
I just love your comment! The idea of the channel is to help and motivate people in there Van conversion dream! Yes you can do this!!!
Yes, I will publish about van life. I will comeback to a regular pace and publish more...
Enjoy planning your van!✌️
Great design and execution. As well as details others have requested (bed, then cabinet design, measurements, solar system, etc.) I would love links to the products you purchased for kitchen, solar, battery, lighting, etc.
Thanks for what you are doing on your channel!
Thank you. I’ll work on that.
Sorry Topanga! I’m just missing time... I’ll try to edit at every 2-3 weeks. I have edited since the first one:
ruclips.net/channel/UC419EVHTZkNsRuLpoN_wnpA
Now I’m working on the bed design... will probably edit in the coming week...
I appreciate your interest!👍
Following...curious on heat and staying warm at night
Eric enjoys Earth again, I’m going to encourage you to sell plans for your van. This will cover your time creating them and the thought to put into it. This can fund some of your travels. Put up on Etsy.
This is one of the best videos! And I've seen an embarrassing amou t of videos. I'd love to know more about the solar panel/utility hook up. This video just made me believe I can stealth camp :)
Thank you! I’m really happy to hear that. It’s so much fun van lifing! You’ll love it! Go ahead! 😃
I agree! I too have seen an embarrassing amount of videos...
mary O'Neill me too, finally I can stop watching and just get on and do my own! 😎 No I know all’s I need is a drill and a jigsaw, I know I’ve got this!
Wow. What a great job. Love it. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you for your comment! It’s a pleasure to share! ✌️
This is brilliant! Thank you for sharing! I am excited to start figuring mine out!
Great Jessie! Enjoyed planning your project! Thank you for your feedback ✌️

Thank you! I appreciate your great comment ! 😃👍
What a great van build, thanks for sharing!
Thank you! I appreciate your comment! ✌️
I had pretty much decided against camperizing a minivan, but after seeing your conversion I'm impressed with how roomy it seems! Would be even roomier, as I only want a single-size bed in mine. Thanks! 🙋♀️
What a great design! Love the portable aspect of it. I glad it works so well for you.
Thank you for your good comment! I really appreciate!
Stay tuned for more videos. Happy van conversion!😃

Thank you Eric! An inspiring, functional build that has really sparked my interest. You make it seem as though I could tackle it myself. So far, it’s the best setup I’ve seen with conversions. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and experience. Happy travels from Australia
Thank you Jenny from Australia! I am glade that you appreciate! 😃✌️
Love the van build! Thanks for posting many great ideas in this build!
Thank you!👍
Thanks for all your videos, these are awesome!!!
Thank you Greg! Doing videos without having comments those not make sense. Thank you for your comments and appreciation ✌️
Unique sienna camper van. Nice build. I’ve been looking to do a build on a sienna as well- this gave me some more options. Thanks
Thank you! Another video is on its way to give some more ideas!! Enjoy thinking and doing you diy project! 😃
Excellent video! This is one of the best and simplest van conversions I have ever seen!
Thank you! I really appreciate your comment! 👍
I love how clear and detailed your videos are! I've been watching van conversion videos for a year and haven't seen anything quite like it. Your layout is exactly what I've been looking for, so detailed build videos for each step would be awesome! So glad I found your videos. super cool
It’s a pleasure to edit and publish videos to help people! Such comment as yours are really welcome and motivating! Thank you Lucy! ✌️
Nice work on your Van conversion, thanks for sharing! I'm now considering to learn to build in one! So cool and inspiring!
Glad to subscribe!
I just love your comment! Those videos are all about helping and motivating people to realize their dream of van conversion and van life! ✌️
Best conversion I’ve seen in a minivan. Excellent!
Thank you Shannon! Enjoy your Van conversion!✌️
Dude that's tight. I have a mini van that i'm just about to start building out. You have given me some good ideas/ tips. Cheers
My pleasure Dan. I’ll try to give you some more!👍
Have fun with your project!
So Good! Thank you for sharing this mini van conversion.
Thank you Janet!
Enjoy your conversion project!✌️
Thank you for sharing your video. I've just subscribed and am looking forward to watching them all! 😊
Thank you Barbara! It is always great to get comments like yours! ✌️
Thank You Eric for the inspiration and great ideas! Last fall I was looking at many van conversion videos, and luckily found yours. I made a few changes, to better fit a Grand Caravan, but basically followed your lead. I'm down to the cushion covers and window shades now, so should be ready to roll in a few weeks. Thanks again!!!
Hey! This is great! Congratulation for your project and sharing your success! I think you are going to have an awesome summer!!! Thank you for sharing and for your appreciation 😃✌️
I also have a Grand Caravan that's got some life in it still. What did you change from his recommendations?
I agree! This is the most sensible van build I’ve seen! You are a very creative guy!
Thank you Susan! Your comment is really appreciated!👍
Thanks Eric that was really inspirational, some really great ideas there buddy!
It’s a pleasure Paul. Thank you for your appreciation ✌️
Thank you for this beautiful video!!! You are brilliant!! I am very inspired by your mini van conversion...to a camper!
Good news Nora! I am happy to ear that. You won’t regret it. Enjoy planning your van conversion! I will publish other inspiring videos. 👍
Wow Eric!!! Just found you since I just bought a mini van. I want to do exactly what you have done. Please do a video on how to make that bed. Thank you for the cabinet steps
Will be a new subscriber for sure. Good camera work and sound quality too 🎉
Thank you Jenni! I love to see people as motivated as you are! This always end up with perfect results! So yes the next video is going to be the bed. Don’t hesitate if you have any questions! 👍
That was fantastic! I'm eager to hear more. I have a Sienna and would love to do what you did. I don't know if I have the skills, but it would be fun to investigate. Thanks so much for sharing your rig. Very inspiring.
Thank you Brent! 👍
I am sure that you can do a nice DIY van conversion project with my instructions in my videos of my Channel. Practicing on cardboard as explain make it not risky!
✌️
This is great! I am personally so proud of you. I've always wanted to do this.
Thank you! I appreciate your comment!👍
It is not so difficult to do. You can look at the other videos on the channel to know how to proceed. Others videos are coming...😃
Wonderfully done! Very nice looking, too. I’m glad you can wander and enjoy-
Thank you Lydia! Your comment is much appreciated!😃
✌️
Thank you Eric for taking the time to share with us your awesome conversion and making the videos. My wife and I own a 2008 AWD limited Sienna that is about to face the conversion to stealth camper van. I am starting from the roof down , buying the longest tule bars they sell for the two 100 watt solar panels. Most likely an overkill but being retired we plan on extended boon docking with two 200 amp batteries in parallel . At this point the rest of our build will closely resemble yours. Thank you again for the well thought out design !
It’s a pleasure Chuck! Enjoy planning your van conversion! Thanks for your comment!✌️
I haven’t viewed a lot of regular van conversions but I think yours is the nicest and most functional I’ve seen so far. Great job! Thanks for sharing when many have these vans already and dreaming of seeing the world outside their own.
This is an awesome comment! This is the objective of the channel! Thank you Jeff! ✌️
Great simple design. Thanks for sharing. Looks like a fun vehicle. 👍
Thank you!✌️
Amazing! Hopping for more videos on this conversion. Thx for sharing
Thank you Memo! 👍
Wow! This is the best minivan conversion on the Internet. Thank you.
Thank you Susan! I really appreciate your comment!👍
Eric, thanks for all your great videos, they are so helpful. You do such a great job of explaining, your explanations and instructions are clear and concise, it's a real talent. That gadget you made for making the templets and how to use it was golden. I don't know if you're still making more videos but l'm subscribed and ready if you do. Thanks SO much for your efforts to help all us wannabes, you help us get closer to the dream. Sending you love💞 and light✨, and wishing you happy travels.
Thank you Donna for this great comment. Yes I am continuing publishing videos. In fact there will be more coming! I just published one two weeks ago and will publish one more this week! I do have more time to edit them. They will keep coming! There is so much that I can say about the subject! Stay tuned!✌️
What an excellent van design! Thanks for your videos and for your channel!
Thank you for your feedback. I really appreciate ✌️
I love your little van conversion. It's so happy and practical--it seems to reflect your personality. Thank you very much for sharing.
Thank you Randi! This is such a great comment! You are well come! ✌️
Quelle belle convertion. Merci pour la vidéo
Merci beaucoup! C’est un plaisir de partager! ✌️
Really impressive, @Eric enjoys Earth. You've combined the best of European-style conversions, with simplicity of materials, and the ability to move everything to a new van.
Thanks! This is a great comment! I appreciate! 👍
Thanks Eric! Love the common sense, efficiency and practical tips
Thank you for this awesome feedback 😃✌️
i surely agree with your life perspective about enjoying this beautiful planet! what lovely ideas you have to live very well in your van too ~ happy trails amigo and thank you so much for taking your time to show us !
Thank you for your comment! It’s a pleasure to share! ✌️
Fantastic job, I love what you did with your Van. Here I was thinking that I'd have to save for 5 years to build a class B camper. Thank you for all the great ideas!
Thank you Nathan! Enjoy planning your van conversion!👍
Love to see a video on the sink build. Great build
Good idea! 👍
Erik. I truly like your van conversion and more importantly your philosophy of use. I've gone through all your videos and am now going around them for a second time. I hope you put out more when you get the chance especially in use videos during your adventures.
Be well
Nate
Thank you Nate! It is always a great pleasure to get feedback as your comments. Yes I will publish videos about van life and adventures! Enjoy planning your van conversion! ✌️
I just found your videos and viewed them all in one sitting! Please keep up your very interesting videos!
Thank you Berry! I am glade that you appreciate! I will keep them coming👍 ✌️
Wow, you beautifully made it. very creative. Thank you for sharing this video. It helps me a lot. I'm living full time for two years now in my campervan here in the Philippines. I learned ideas. Thanks!
This is great! Thank you for your comment!✌️
You got a RUclips channel? I'm in Philippines too
Nicest small van conversion I’ve seen so far I think, especially on the Sienna. Very nice 👍🏽
Thank you John! I appreciate your comment!
John L I see many “Sienna Conversions” but they are all a bed and a box for pull out kitchen. Can’t plan on sitting in it. This is a First Class Conversion
Fantastic build. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Cindy! I hope it may have inspired you for your van conversion project!✌️
Very nice conversion. Awesome job.
Thank you Rita!
I appreciate your comment!😃
Wow. This has to be the best small van conversion period.
Thank you Angellos! I am proud of you comment! 👍
Simply the best conversation minivan on RUclips. The bench to bed is awesome.
Thank you Josh!✌️
I love this van conversion!!! From all the videos that I have watched, this is my favorite mini van conversion so far. By night, sleeping space for two and by day, living space with a nice comfortable place to sit. Hope to build something like this this spring.
This is a good summery! There’s everything to enjoy traveling! Thank you for your comment!👍
Great video, thank you, you did a great job, I love the design
Thank you for your comment. It’s appreciated! ✌️
Your van is great thanks for the vid.
Thank you! It’s a pleasure to share with the community!✌️
This is such a practical and comfortable looking van. Well done.
Thank you Anne for your great comment! 😃
GREAT video about a GREAT build. I love your practical approach.
Thank you Luke! 😃
Your van is PERFECT!!! What a clever and comfy layout. Thanks so much for sharing your ideas with the world!!
Thank you for your appreciation!✌️
Hey Eric!!
Well I found your video and am amazed!!
A run down on me.. I was homeless for 4.5 years.. gave me a taste of freedom I cant describe. I lost my husband in Jan 2018 and moved in with a friend, and got a job, and now.. I am saving to get a van or some kind of vehicle i can convert, but keep it very basic and minimal.. and live in it.. work, save money and next summer 2020 I will go traveling the US.. to visit friends and make new ones.
Hello Brwneygrl!
I am sorry for your husband. 😔
Good for you that you got yourself a nice project, and an objective. I hope that the videos that I’ll produce will help you in your DIY project! Take care, thank you for sharing and which you the best trip ever!✌️
Don’t hesitate if you got questions.
Thank you!😃
I’m completely inspired. 70 year young woman in the beginnings of process to sell everything and take to the road in about a year. Doing lots of research and just convinced myself that a mini van was rage way to go. Love everything you did here.
This is great! 👍 Go ahead you will not regret it!
Thank you for your comment. ✌️
Short, simple and straight to the point I like these kinds of videos.
Thank you! I appreciate your comment! ✌️
I love this set up. You thought of everything!
Thank you Janet! 😃
You comment is very kind! ✌️
every part of this van is optimized for space usage. my favorite feature is honestly the indoor/outdoor table! thank you for the van overview. also, i really love your accent-your english is very precise and easy to understand
Thank you Sarah! 😁
There’s some other videos in the Channel. You should subscribe if it’s not done... You are very welcome!✌️
Yes I will do a video about the table and it’s set up.👍
I really do appreciate you comment about the accent and my english !😊 thank you!
Hi, Do you have a video on how to make the indoor/outdoor table?
Awesome job sir! Unlike so many, you are choosing to be off the grid, rooted to none, I love it!
Thank you!✌️
I am new to the van vamping idea, researching it, and your conversion is the elite of all designs I’ve seen!! The shower idea is phenomenal!
Thank you Cathy! I appreciate your comment! I will do two videos about that shower. Stay tuned! Subscribe to the channel if it’s not done! ✌️
Hello Eric! I’ve watched hours of videos....wish I’d found yours sooner, lol. I think what you’ve done on the drivers side is spectacular, and I expect to copy. Thank you so much for sharing your clever design.
Thank you Lynne for your great comment! It is much appreciated! Enjoy doing you van conversion! ✌️
This is great, I'm gonna build one by myself and this helps me as inspiration. I'm a 19 year old from Mexico, just bought a 2003 Dodge caravan for $1000
This is great! If you did not subscribe to the channel, go look at the other videos. This may help you!
Enjoy doing your van conversion!👍
Your conversion is definitely on the top of my list. I don’t have a garage or tools so I don’t know how I can do this myself. It is just brilliant Eric, bravo.
I have build this outside. Just need to bring everything inside at the end of the day... you can do this! 👍
Thank you for your appreciation 😃✌️
Like Eric said: A jig saw and screwdriver (?) so no excuse. Get to building!
Yes, a jigsaw and a drill! More easy that it look! 👍
This van is perfect and so comfortable. I love it.
Thank you Claudia! I really appreciate this awesome comment! 😁
Love your van; it is so well built !
I haven’t started on mine but seeing your conversation and all info you give it’s just awesome, thank you
I am glade that you appreciate. Thank you for sharing your appreciation ✌️
Love your van! Is love to know more about your bed design, as well as how you made your cabinets.
Thanks! Ok, I will elaborate in other videos, probably the bed before the cabinets.
Eric enjoys Earth you could make money to support your travels by selling “blue prints” that people can buy and adjust to their own van.
Did I miss it; what kind of van is that? I just purchased a 2007 Sienna.
Wow! I want this van! That bed design with two couches is epic! Great job! 👍🏻
Thank you Suz! 😃
Yes I do love that bed-sofa! So simple to operate, plus lots of storage under it!
Yes very smart. Why make a long aisle and then sofa is facing inside the van? This is much better.
I’m back to rewatch this again! Modifying this bed to keep access to leave out the back of the van is definitely not going to give me the storage I need. I did a test run with a cot . Even though I had so little stuff with me it was cluttered. Excellent eye opener and reminder why I thought this was such a great design to begin with!
Jako1987 Great design!
With my bed, you still have place to put one or two drawers side by side for your outside kitchen. The assembly panel is not at the height of the bumper.
I like to see you thinking and planning your van. 👍
Love this! By far the best minivan conversion out there IMO. You've clearly put the work into thinking through what you need from a van and the best way to do it. Thank you for sharing your process on RUclips!
We are looking into a van conversion with a Dodge Caravan or similar model with stowable seats, so that we can fit our family of four into the van (with a popup tent on the roof), so sadly your model won't work for us, but we will definitely be incorporating some of your excellent ideas!
Thank you Christopher for this great comment! I greatly appreciate! I am glade to be of any help. Enjoy planning your van conversion ✌️
I have watched MANY minivan conversion videos and I am holding nothing back when I say yours is my very favorite. In fact I will be using your build as my template. Of course I will make adjustments to fit my style but it will look a lot like yours. Thanks for your videos!
Thank you for your feedback! I am very glade of it! Enjoy your project 😃✌️
Just amazing/ Loved the layout and it's great that everything can be removed. I would like to be able to hook up to power at campgrounds if this could be set up.
Of course you can hook up to power at campground! But if you got the right batterie and solar panel size, you won’t needed! If you go to campground it can be for other luxuries... 😉 thank you for your comment ✌️
Wow, amazing build and setup!!! Nicely done, subbed your channel. The Toyota will last a long time, very well built. You speak English very well, I like your accent 😉
Thank you for the Van and thank you for the accent!😊
A new video is coming soon! I hope you’ll like it!😀
Yes...loving the accent also hehe
Thank you 😊
Thank you! Your van inspired my van build!
I am happy about this! It’s a pleasure!👍
This was very smart! I really like your build! Great job! Happy travels
Thank you Licia!
Very impressive conversion for a Toyota Sienna!
Thank you!
My good sir I have some questions because I intend to buy a Toyota Sienna to convert myself. When you installed your solar setup, do the wires come from the trunk door? Does it leak any? And regarding your compressor fridge, how much energy does it consume from your solar panels?
Yes from the trunk. Drilled no hole. It does not leak at all. The cables follow the inside of the frame of the entry to the trunk, and cross inside at the bumper level. Look at the last frame of the video and you’ll see the cable on the left hand side.
For the fridge, here’s details:

That’s an amazing project to plan and do! Enjoy!😃
Eric enjoys Earth Awhhh! Now I know! I just bought a 2007 Sienna. Please, please, please make up blue prints and list here or Etsy or Ebay for sale. I think most people can’t see the vision in a Sienna. Mine you can turn the captain and front passenger seat because the “center counsel” folds down.
@@ericenjoysearth2756 I WANT this van
This is amazing! I love the flexibility of it.
Thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful ideas and simplicity ! what a pleasure and inspiration to enjoying life 🥰🌸
Thank you Betzaida! I appreciate your comment! 😃
✌️
Thank you for a wonderful explanation of your bed build. Your van build is great! By putting your kitchen on the side you can sit in the back and enjoy the view. Live it!
Thank you Jody. Yes, I really do appreciate the view. That’s a good criteria!✌️
Great job, I'm concerting my wee Toyota Noah townie in amount or two and you have some great ideas as I have s similar space as you. Defo would like a video on the bed. I am tucking of doing something similar.
Thanks. I will give some priority to a video about the bed. 🙂
I’m in! You’re the best!!!!!!
Thank you!😊
simple, nicely designed, looks great.. one of my favorite stealth conversions yet, good job man.
Thank you Wayne! I really do appreciate your comment!👍
I’m not a handyman. I just retired looking to travel I have a 05 Toyota Sienna is there an easier way to convert my van the easiest way possible? Let me know. How did you cut your mattress to fit your van. Please reply on my email at. a.ruiz99@yahoo.com
Thanks for your time
Just an awesome conversion of a minivan. I am so impressed.
Thank you John Paul! 👍
