hey, are you gonna make a toor of camper?

😊Thank you for your video on assembling your camper components into your van. It was efficiently done and fun to watch. I hope to make my odyssey in my Odyssey in the spring of ‘26 when I retire, so I believe that leaves me ample time to outfit it and take many local trips.

Replace with a USB-C port?

🎉🎉🎉thank you Bruce.

Thank you so much, new subscriber

Thank you! I just took the third row seats out of my 2017.

FYI, Doug & Mary Hit the Road recommended you channel.

do you think you could make a tutorial on how to remove the auxiliary/usb port? i’ve been searching for ages and no one has made one yet

I take my wet towel and I lay it on the dashboard in the sun dries it every single f****** day.

You guys deck out these camper vans like they got f****** room to move around inside it's like so f****** stupid you try to make it like a 32 ft class a it's like bro you don't need a f****** coat hook for a f****** sienna. You don't need a fake little sink in the back what are you f****** 4 ft 4 go inside the goddamn gas station and make a mess in there and f****** leave it and go back out to your f****** van and use your space for more useful s*** than a stupid little f****** dentist think. If you actually had square footage to have a party in there all that stuff would make sense but once you f****** fill out a sienna you can't even get in the motherfuker and turn around if you're over 6 ft 1 like me. Just throw a twin bed in the back and call it a day just stop with all the nonsense it's a goddamn passenger vehicle

Yeah I got this really cool and genius track when I want fresh air I cracked the f****** window. Problem solved. That's a lot of extra work for a tiny breeze.

Excellent video, thanks for making it available. There is a lot of excellent craftsmanship in your build and your explanations for changes you have made and your reasoning is very helpful. The only thing that makes me uneasy are the hooks. Anything that protrudes like that is potentially dangerous, especially at near head / eye level.

amazing thank you for sharing

I have the same leak on my focus st from the emergency brake spring. It was frustrating trying to find where it was leaking since I didn't think it would leak from there.

Does anyone here know if I could change out my 2013 third row seat for a 2015 or newer? I NEED the 2nd LATCH system to put 2 toddlers in the back and The sienna took away 1 of the latch systems from 2011-2014 and we didn't realize until I got pregnant with our 4th that will be in a carseat😅

Beautiful work and excellent video's. Would you have general schematics you would share/sell?

Thanks for the very helpful video, sure saved me a lot of time!

What kind of bike do you drive Bruce? Have you ever thought of marketing your design for Toyota van owners?

Excellent!

So many other builds lack the breakdown of their most interesting and useful features. You sir are a gem! Thank you.

Love the usage of the factory screws in the basement. Great work.

This is great! Thank you.

Have you noticed the battery draining from keeping the slide doors or lift gate open? If so, what are you doing about it?

Tks for sharing, Your camper build is the best Ive seen...Cheers!

Really well-thought through and well designed. Safe travels!

Would you know how much weight you saved removing the 3rd row?

Bruce, if you sold build plans. I would definitely buy them.

Thanks for making this. Note that on my 2024 Sienna (still Gen 4), there's a slight assembly/manufacturing change, and I had to remove both of the upper (vertical) bolts, not just one of them as you show. Otherwise, everything was as easy as you show! Thanks again!

Thank you for the templates. My Turbo III is shedding foam and I was about to look into a new one but I really like the Fein. The other thing I would like to fabricate is the nut and holder for the Hepa filter. Would it be possible to get pictures or templates for those? They also are no longer available.

Bruce I've seen all of your Sienna videos over and over again while trying to find inspiration to upgrade my own van. I've finally decided to commit to fully building out my sienna that 've had since 2017. I've seen so many sienna builds out there but nothing that comes close to the space efficiency you have but most importantly to the cost and DIY feasibility wich is key to accesibility. I noticed you just posted a video 2 days ago wich made me really happy to know you are well and enjoying your travels. I am in the architectural profession and would be more than happy to document your build and help you make plans to provide to the community you have inspired through your videos. I know a few have inquired and not sure if there is any of this in the works. I know it will take time and effort to get these plans done but it is totally possible if you are open to it. Blessings and may you continue to inspire everywhere you go!!!!

Thanks sooo much!!

Amazing conversion. Very thought out , and beautifully constructed. Some great ideas for me. Thank you.

Hello Bruce, Thanks for sharing that. I don’t want to remove the center console. What I’d like to do is place my phone in the console when it's connected to Apple CarPlay. However, when I close the console, the wire prevents it from closing. Do you have any suggestions on how I can keep my phone in the center console while it's connected to a charger? I have a 2019 Toyota Sienna XLE.

it's very helpful! thanks.

must be electrical engineering !

Well that was quick and easy. THANKS!

1:00 what are those strap things called, the thin bracket things you loop around the wood and screw clamp tight?

Love the craftsmanship!

Hi Bruce, I was wondering what blue water container that is. Since you have a sink arrangement in the back, I was thinking of moving the tank forward into the position of the sink and just having the plywood front 45 back to a single sheet of plywood to connect to the back structure to allow both middle seats to be installed. A fold-up table surface might be added to the water area front to allow say using the stove with the window down to allow ventilation during inclement weather. I just don't know if that would allow enough room for that second middle seat to work. tnx, phil

Speechless. Soooo envious! Sooo impressed! Sooo jealous! Good job!

I hope you are getting way better fuel mileage with a lighter car. The 2nd row and 3rd row seats combined must be at least 200lbs.

Just purchased a 2011 very used Sienna and want my 2nd and 3rd rows out to make a home. I'm 75 and disabled so can't do it myself but I can use your video to show someone else how. Thanks so much. ❤

Do you sell this as a kit? You might be able to strike a deal with Toyota, and laugh all the way to the Bank! We had an 04 Sienna which was totaled in an accident. My wife and I are SERIOUSLY thinking of buying another Sienna.

Beautifully done!❤

Bruce, I echo all of the props for this build Sir! I was wondering, with the foot board stowed, does that allow you to put the 2 seats back into the van to make it a 4 seat vehicle?

I'm wondering why you abandoned the bed/ couch flip up style that you make a video of before you hit the road? I was seriously considering it but now wondering if i should also change. I called your expertise and wonder would i be making a mistake to make one.

Looks like you can slide it and not break the clips

You never showed a close up of the bed structure, how the third panel fits underneath the second panel.

Beautiful sir!! Ty

Thank you very much I want to do that. Your information was very helpful👍🚙🏞️
