Hello! May I share the most important news you'll ever hear in life? Jesus Christ came from heaven to earth and was sinless and born of a virgin. he grew up and died on the cross for humanity (for our sins to be washed away). He was put into a tomb and on the 3rd day Abba Father, raised Jesus to life. Messiah Jesus appeared to people and went back up to heaven. We all must sincerely receive Christ Jesus to be a true child of God. It says in John 1:12 "But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His Name." Will you put your genuine faith in the holy Lord Jesus today to be saved?

Is there any place for a toilet?
@tomandkarenontheroad60954 ай бұрын
We put a small lugaloo type toilet behind the front passenger seat. When we set up for the night, we put the front seats as far forward as they go and also as upright as they go in order to make room for the small toilet. We only use it to pee at night. I use two small plastic bags (in case one leaks!) and dump the urine in a bathroom in the morning. Works for us!

So many opportunities for rattles. My question is how noisy is it on unsealed roads especially with corrugations.
@tomandkarenontheroad60954 ай бұрын
Not as bad as you might think. We initially had rattles from the Coleman stove in the back drawer. By putting a dishtowel inside, that stopped the rattle. Ditto for the sink basin, which we use to store spices. You just have to adjust as you go.

@@tomandkarenontheroad6095we’re looking at doing the big Australian circumnavigation and are researching whether a minivan conversion suits us more than a van conversion. As you can imagine we have plenty of unsealed roads so reducing rattles is important no matter which approach we take which is why feedback like you gave is most welcome. Thanks for vid.

Do you happen to have the dimensions of the fridge that you have in the back? Wondering if our dometic would fit. This looks like a great solution for those travelling and staying in a mix of hotels and campgrounds. My husband and I did a few trips with our outback and they were a few of our best vacations. I enjoy this type of travel. The minivan setup with road loft would allow for our camp kitchen to have a permanent space in the vehicle that you don't need to move around every time you want to prepare food or go to bed for the night.

It's an Alpicool C40 and the dimensions (according to Amazon, where we bought it) are 14.4"D x 22.6"W x 13.8"H.

How does the van handle all that weight? Ground clearance must surely be an issue.
@tomandkarenontheroad60954 ай бұрын
With the seats out, the van actually gets better gas mileage than with all of them in. The kit itself is pretty light. And we don't pack heavy. For regular road use, ground clearance isn't an issue. But like all minivans, the Sienna is not noted for its high ground clearance! Lol

You didn't show placing down the table to make the bed. Must have been difficult.
@tomandkarenontheroad60954 ай бұрын
It's not that it's difficult, but we've found it to be less than convenient. We keep the van in bed mode almost all the time. We did set up the table one night after a full day of rain, continuing into the evening, but for the most part, we eat outside.

Sorry for being so long in answering. Tom is 5'10" and can sit upright pretty comfortably. Not a lot of headroom, though, so I'm not sure.

Curious, how much space (how many inches) is between the seat cushion and the ceiling when sitting at the table? And, also, the space between the bed cushion and the ceiling when in bed mode?
