MINIVAN CAMPER CONVERSION FOR FAMILY OF THREE - SIENNA

Full van tour of a minivan (1999 Toyota Sienna) Conversion into a camper van for a family of three.

[@rosevalerio5863]

Definitely one of the best minivan conversion I've seen, awesome job...

[@robincrook5630]

Wow! I've watched a slew of van, mini-van, car, suv conversions for camping...but yours is a work of art. Ok, someone in that family is an engineer, gotta be, ha. Great job with the tour as well. So sorry for the loss of Betty, can't wait to see what you convert next.

Someone is a genius in that famIly👍

[@amrfinally356]

I believe that would be the father 😊

[@RSmith-xo7hu]

I've seen a lot of videos. I've never that much Storage spaces in a Van. Wow. Wonderful Built

[@festussmom6364]

This is super smart! I love the pull out kitchen and the curtains idea! ❤️🇺🇸🧚🏻‍♀️

[@garrettacer6525]

Great job. Just missing a porta potty.

[@happilyunorthodox6071]

2:54 scared the crap out of me! I thought the stove blew up! 😅😂 Awesome setup! Inspiration for my build for sure!

[@DavidLari]

Very clever build. That kitchen slide out -- super nice. Sorry to hear about the van getting totaled.

[@Lotuslaful]

Sad news Hope everyone was okay

[@maryfrady7149]

I have my mini van converted to a camper and have been looking at different slide-out kitchen ideas. You have done an amazing job, especially having to work around a car seat!

[@joethompson297]

That is an ingenious childbed arrangement

[@susanmathis1682]

Love the child's bed!!! I'm so sorry Betty and the deer hit each other 😢

[@flowerpower4u189]

Wow kitchen on the slide freakin smart thank you!!

[@kalvaxus]

First time I'm seeing someone use suitcases and seems like such a genius mom thing to do!

[@karenyoung9996]

So sorry to hear about Betty - she was a beautiful build. We traveled with 3 as well last summer in a newer Sienna version and loved it. Great gas mileage and stealth camp anywhere. We have a kitchen in the back and my two kids were buckled in the back bench seat with the full bed under their legs. We did a similar hammock/cot in front for my 9yo. I’m thinking of lowering the bed down so we get more headspace but then we’ll lose storage which means more frequent laundry trips. For those asking about the toilet and shower - never had an issue finding a restroom (restaurants, grocery stores & gas stations) and we used baby wipes and washed our hair with 2 liter water bottles. We’ve seen half of the states so far. Love seeing how others do it too, thanks!

@Karen Young ~ I know this is an old video, but what happened to their van? This is the only video. Do you know them personally? Thanks 😃

[@annihilatedbutcomingback1119]

I'm wondering too🌹

[@karoma5805]

I really appreciate how thorough you were with your tour-thanks for the effort !

[@ParadiseIsGleaming]

I saw the pull out drawer from the bed on the KZbin thumbnail and IMMEDIATELY said I LOVE THIS🗣😭👏🏽

[@dr.p1497]

Very nice build. Extremely functional.

[@davidr7236]

What a great way to remember Betty and pass on ideas and lessons. Thank you and well done on making do with a simple design without many bells and whistles you see these days, and also having some neat ideas like the curtain lines around the visors and the slide out bed support rails with grab handles. All the best for your next camper.

[@pammorrison88]

A beautifully thought out conversion with a place for everything. Like another commenter said, a roof carrier would double the storage. Awnings or tarps would also add exterior room in the rain or hot, sunny days. I’m sorry about Betty, and I hope the family was all safe and healthy after the accident. I hope Betty 2.0 is in the works. Thanks for sharing!

[@vancamp4three42]

Yes awning was on the list but kinda fit everything we needed inside and didnt want to disburb the gas milage for a roof carrier plus this one actually didn't have roof racks either. The New Betty is 90% complete stay tuned video is comming soon!

[@damarisfuentes670]

I'm must say that I likes how y'all made the conversion into a tiny motorhome and i love the kitchen...

[@ontheroadwithjoy6266]

I'm so sorry to hear about the deer accident ! This is a really nice build!

[@yachtsteve]

Rip Betty, I Just have to agree with everybody else this is a fantastic build, it's checks all the boxes, gets good gas mileage, inexpensive base vehicle and an inexpensive build. Even one more box that I didn't mention is that it just flat works. I came with some good ideas, sash cord for the curtains was great. Thanks so much for taking the time to share.

[@maryfrady7149]

I added a roof top cargo carrier. It's like having a garage. I'm short so I have to have a step-ladder to access all of it.

[@StaceyBillsAdventures]

You guys ROCK! Such great use of space and ideas.... So far we only have our window shades made and our camp kitchen purchased, over the winter we will build up our power options and bedding etc, slow but sure hoping to hit the road by spring with our van :)

[@matthoward1174]

Really nice build. Well thought out. Hopefully you can get a brand new Sienna, now with 300 hp !

[@mapmaker1697]

Great conversion. I am so sorry for your loss

[@herbertmedina8396]

Great build! Well thought out, to bad about Betty hope everyone is okay. Look for forward to your next build.

I love your set up! Very clean. Thanks you for this video. Hope to see more.

[@scottprice4813]

You might want to consider a lp gas warning sensor with that tank inside your van!

[@pammorrison88]

The bag that it is stored in looks like a dive bag that “zips” closed so any leak would be contained.

[@mathalwaysii]

I wish I found your video before building our SUV and curtains... Now I feel like I spent so much time and effort in ours and I like yours better! Lol... You guys are awesome! Thanks for sharing

Super genius. I like kitchen, pure genius.

Simple, yet so we'll engineered! Loved seeing what you have done.

[@lindaandrews2309]

You are a magician! Well done. I have watched hundreds of van videos and yours is my first comment. Amazing!

[@Tweetycew1]

Love this conversion especially the kitchen. Thanks for sharing

[@rjostusa]

Very efficient. Good use of space, an amazing 3-sided kitchen, and little damage to the original van. That kitchen box makes other designs look ineffective.

[@teresanoel4035]

Awesome van build, sorry for your unfortunate event, but glad the three of you are ok. I hope you get to rebuild.

[@kbeautician]

Cutest. Spacious. There is absolutely EVERYTHING in there. And oh so neat & handy. THE BEST EVER

[@outlawbadge1]

That is a fantastic set up for a family of three. Nice job

[@willowwisp5784]

INCREDIBLE! I'm looking at getting a Sienna ( I love them ) for me and my baby, and building something similar granted we have to keep the car seat in .

[@mysticalmisfit1332]

Wow. What an awesome conversion🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 Sorry about the accident

[@tephveritas1750]

Brilliant design!! Possibly/probably the most economical/practical use of space in a minivan buildout that I have seen! Great job!

[@danmorocco]

Great build! In particular, your kitchen set up. Ingenious!

[@annagonzales4626]

That kitchen! All of the details are amazing! Well done 👏

I love your camper, especially the sleeping arrangements. Love how you have ample space for yourself and hubby and the baby to all be very comfortable, and love the kitchen/cooking area. Enjoy your travels!

This is amazing! I love the kitchen and the storage is unbelievable! Great job!!!

[@leojoseph6385]

Really smart layout to fit 3 of you in there plus needed gear. I look forward to the next version!

[@tegmapat11]

You have some very clever ideas in your build that I've never seen before. I like the way your curtains cover the front windshield... the way your pull out kitchen is to the side, and the bed you made for your son! I've seen a similar bed, but nothing as good as yours. Great going!
