Hey Everyone, this is my friend Josh. He just completed a cross country road trip in his Sienna that he built out for only $300 in construction materials. He decided to add a fridge and battery which cost an additional $1,700. I hope you enjoy this new series on my channel, I’ll be featuring many more rigs built in a budget conscious manner. Thanks for tuning in! ~ Brian

it looks so cozy
Great dog!
There is a toyota sienna I am interested in maybe purchasing to do this. It's dirty! Needs a good clean…I am worried about mold. Suggestions?
What year is this one?
What about a roof vent and fan ?
What do you do when your car is down? Fly back somewhere like a friend's house until the shop is done, then come back and go?
This is my ideal renovation, thank you for sharing. I want to live in a Sienna for a few months before I move to a new city and this is inspiring to kick start the groundwork for a build.
Love your van setup. You dressed it out well without going overboard with extra add-on items. I have a full-on Motorcoach and a Chevy Conversion Van. Both serve different needs… BUT MY VAN IS MY "BABY ๐" I love taking the van to places the Motorcoach can't get to. CONGRATS TO YOU ๐๐ค๐ป๐! BE WELL AND SAFE TRAVELS ALWAYS.
Great set up ..
I do love the Sienna vans…
beautiful dog you have. ๐
Tune in, turn on and drop out…
I know this is an old video but Im curious if there is a way to get the inner dimensions of the sienna. Im curious of how wide his mattress was.
Do you have blueprints of this for sale? Want to build it for my mom
My solution for overpacking? Hit up a post office and send it home. I once had a month trip that began w a 4 day family reunion. Sent all the reunion clothes home, then hit the road.
I missed the name of the โsolarโ battery?? No solar panel, correct? Thanks guys!
How high is his bed?
Love your set up….safe travels ๐๐
Thanks!
Great build and attitude. " Life is about Being " AMEN Brother. Thanks for sharing.
What a great van setup! He is set to go anywhere. Thank you for sharing this video.
Awesome build
I just started watching ur channel and itโs great that ur showing a minivan conversion! Iโm wanting to start camping in my suv with my daughter and dogs in Colorado and Wyoming and Iโm searching for ideas. Sienna looks great in this video. Youโre doing a great job at keeping her healthy. I can tell you care for her so much โค. Your property is awesome too. Northern Arizona is beautiful!!!
Sweet build.
I wonder where to get those table tracks? Anyone knows?
I like this x a million. When he was talking about what heโs learnt from this lifestyle I teared up because Iโve been binge watching van life for 5 years now and this is me 1000%. Thank you for sharing his build. I love it
Thank you โค
Do you guys have any designs on the plywood sections of the build? Been wanting to do this for a while and haven't pulled the trigger. Cheers J
We love your Minivan Camper and thank you!!!โค๐๐๐

How can I get the plans for the storage shelving and the bed and solar? I just purchase a Sienna 2012 Van. I am wanting to get it set up for camping.
Great video and very functional build. I enjoyed the relaxed pace. I have a 22 ft Class C and it is superbly comfy with full kitchen, large fridge, full bath, office, lounge, queen bed and climate control. But it is not stealth and hard to find parking sometimes. I like traveling with my small dog (best alarm system for danger too), and the RV is good for easier climate control. Not sure if a minivan could be easy to leave your doggo in for a couple of hours at the gym, etc. That would worry me.
This model of bed flips into a bench on both sides, so its perfect. This is the right way to build a minivan bed. Lovely tour. Thanks guys!
Hi Josh, do you have your own YouTube channel? I'm an old bat over in Oz and am planning my first mini camper build. โ๏ธ
Really impressed with your indoor table / rear bumper table. What kind of metal channel or hardware would I search up for that? I may adopt that system in my build but not sure where to find that.
Pro tip for cutting reflectix: go on the vertical vs horizontal.. they will stay in the windows better (not bunch up and slide out). Also, cut about 1/2 inch bigger than your template. It shrinks AND the extra can be used to push into the crack where the window meets the gasket.
I love this bed/cabinet set up. Iโve been in myโ98 Sienna for up to 3 months with everything stored under my bed. Doable, but not ideal. Gonna check out Ericโs build video.
Thanks for the tour!
Was wondering if could transport a ac unit and hook it into the window and run it off a small honda generator
I just love the simplicity of this build! Can you tell me if I can purchase a futon bed frame in the size he has to fit the minivan, or was it a custom build? Thank you, and enjoy your adventures!
So awesome being able to just get away from the daily grind and they keeping up with the Joneses nonsense. Good for you ๐๐ผ
Is there bear or wolf there?
I was watching this whole build and loving it, but I kept thinking, where's the Icebox ? That thing is SO stealth ๐ I think my bed could be a bit narrower, to give slightly deeper storage depth…. But this really looks fantastic ๐ Oh, also, once you sleep in a Hybrid with climate control all night, you just have to have this. I LOVE the new Sienna Hybrids with AWD. Do all of this to it, and it would be my dream vehicle ๐ Nice video. Thank you ๐
how do I find one of these already built?
