Why not just use a blowup Coleman mattress with a memory foam mattress on top all your storage in a Thule on top of the car?

TY sir

Also why remove middle console and place with refrigerator between two front seats?

Do you use your screen house anymore

On my new to me 2014 model S, both my rear door handles would not retract out. I paid Tesla to fix both, like 300 something a piece, and they replaced them. They both retract now, but one side won’t open the door when the handle is grabbed from the outside. I have a follow up service appointment scheduled, but I have to wait another week. I hope it’s simple and they can fix for free this time and not say it’s a different part. Any idea why it retracts but doesn’t open?

I am like you I currently have the kickr move plus climb combo and am constantly wondering should I upgrade to the kickr bike?? What I'm hearing you say is it probably isn't the better move?? Taking money out of the decision do you think riding you're own bike on the trainer plus the climb is better than the feeling of the kickr bike?

Hi . I have aqustion ? Can be fold the the back seat at 2nd row backword to make platform shape we can use it as a bed? I hope you answer that please

Looks like an excellent job will sort it out

My goal for a minivan,and then eventual sprinter .I need to carry 2 bikes but want on inside.

You want good camping climate in a vehicle? Tesla is the best. And if you get a campground with electric is like free tank of energy!!

Thanks!

Could you please give a link for tent? Thank you,

VELCRO STRAPS = ZIP TIES ON STEROIDS😂😂😂😂

I enjoy camping because it makes me feel like a kid. As a kid I always enjoyed making forts. Camping gives me that feeling again even if I’m camping in my car in a Walmart parking lot or in the forest in my tent. The only part I don’t like is the packing and unpacking for the trip.

We just went camping as a family and it is always a great time. Thank you for your videos.

Redwood breathes through porous ground above the roots. Walking up to redwoods and “hugging” them en masse is actually stifling Redwoods. That is why in national parks surround them with fences so people do not do this. People copy behaviors without thinking so social media worsens the impact.

🌷Thank You🌻 Love nature and camping ⛺️

I have enjoyed your videos as I anticipated my 2024 Sienna (Canadian version), took delivery in April 2024 and built it in a camper (taking ideas from you and many others on KZbin....thank you!). This current video is making think of rotating my tires. I am also thinking ahead and planning for winter. My question has to do with wheels -- steel or alloy?

I love your videoa. I hope Toyota bring back the removable 2nd row seats capability. I think Toyota lost a lot of customers because of it. 😅

: ) THANKS MUCH for sharing! I would love to have a hybrid Sienna, but still too rare and expensive for me right now :( I HAVE to ask, how you removed 2nd row seats as I had read they are difficult and not recommended. ALL the BEST and Cheers ! ! : )

Sheesh. Excellent video. Sad because I want the X but the practicality of the Sienna is so much better

Thanks Patrick Stewart for the fabulous review

🌷Thank You🌻 for sharing so much information and ideas.

Thanks for sharing! So beautiful. Do you remember what trail was it? Starting at 4:36

helpful, thank you

Using the back well for a fridge is good, but it seems like a waste of weight and space for the bedding. You could have used milk crates throughout for storage and an inflatable mattress to sleep on. The matrix of crates would have easily supported the weight and when not inflated, the mattress would take up far less space than the memory foam.

For us the Sienna is a great day camper. I liked your bathroom in the back idea so much I have a set up for our car only because around this part of California public restrooms can be either dirty or just closed. Now we can stay out at the beach or the mountains or shopping a lot longer. I know people say we have no bathrooms because of the homeless and stuff but bathrooms are expensive upkeep even for schools so it's more about the money I guess. Then you have two bathrooms men and women so double the coast. I do understand. This idea is actually useful outside of just camping. 😃

I love it! I just retired and I am ready to travel.

Your channel and ingenuity are unmatched. With my own 2022 Sienna Platinum I'm wondering when you're going to start selling these camping conversion kits to the public? 😂😂

Tellvia, awesome design and execution of the design. I noticed the absence of the microwave and platform behind for your dehydrated foods storage. Has that design been abandoned for some reason? Please keep up the elegant design approach Sir!

Hello, are you still using the separator toilet you made? It looks like you have both in this video. Thanks

Amazing and well thought out space. Have you found the Sienna 4 cylinder engine adequate for your needs ?

Wow, that is absolutely fantastic design! I just wanna know one thing how did you keep the airbag light off on the dash when you remove the middle row seats thank you again for all of the helpful videos you produce.

Thanks for a good layout decsion making. I work as a carpenter and deciding on type of truck or van for a home and the other one for remodeling work. Keep up the good work.

your setup is so good, and you just keep making it better. super impressive. everytime I watch your videos, I try and figure out which bay area tech company youre a VP at, and how awesome itd be to have you as my boss. but what would be more awesome, is having a sienna hybrid setup like yours.

I've been reviewing minivan camper conversion videos on YT for a few months now, especially the Toyota Sienna. Many start off with the sofa-bed conversion designs -- but after a while most eventually abandon the idea of sofa-bed designs because as you well pointed out -- people go camping to be outdoors, and not sit cooped up on a mini sofa inside a minivan or waste time having to set up their beds everyday. Hopefully more people take will note and focus on a high quality bed system design and forget about wasting time, energy, and money on sofa-bed conversion designs. The portable gazebo tents like your Clam Quick tent are an excellent replacement for mini sofas inside minivans (I got myself a Gazelle hexagon gazebo tent). Thanks for updating the ever perfection of your camping rig.

Thanks for the update, Tellvia. I have you to thank for the Iceco refrigerator, the 8020 set up in the rear, and the pullout Iceco shelf. I used your ideas to set up the rear of my 2022 Sienna, along with the 1500W Jackery. I set up a solo camper van with a sink, bed and microwave and I hope to have a van build video up sometime this Summer. The biggest hassle with the inverter is remembering to turn the inverter ON in the dash every single time I get back in the car for a drive. So easy to forget hitting that button. Such a bummer to arrive at a camp site and the Jackery is completely dead because I forgot to hit that stupid button. It would be nice if Toyota had an option by which you could set the inverter to automatically come on as soon as you start the van.

Awesome setup; I agree 100% regarding your setup versus those big(ger) rigs. What is the model of the shelter you set up? Thanks for posting!

Great design and video

I think the pistachios are ok 😊

Great ideas ❤❤

I can't seem to find that front mounting bag from Shimoda. Can you link it here?

Great video …. I’m looking for your 80/20 parts list since I have the same setup.

dam that is one Macgyver setup with that top handle arca setup

Thank you!!

Good job, very ingenious

Wow. What a multitool of a man you are. I am amazed at your skillset.

Excellent! Thanks!

Mattress idea. I use a high quality air mattress, filled to very firm, with a 2 inch memory foam topper. This allows relatively compact storage and provides a very comfortable mattress.

Thanks! Q: Why add a battery when you could simply rely on the stock hybrid system for power? I've camped in my Prius for approximately 8 months without additional batteries. I installed a 1000 watt inverter for AC power and I've lived comfortably without the cost/weight of an additional battery.
