Toyota Estima Van Conversion Tour!
Переглядів 58 тис.6 років тому
Tour of the interior of our 1992 Toyota Estima Emina van. A total conversion has been completed to turn this minivan into a little home on wheels. We have been driving it around New Zealand for a month now and have more kms to go! We cannot claim credit for this conversion, as we purchased it from other backpackers. Whoever did it though did a great job!

The visibility was low during our visit to Kicker Rock but this playful fellow more than made up for it!
Its not a van its a waggon, in Australia anyway 😊
we have an estima too! can you tell me how you bring the curtains on?
Awesome! We have a 2003 Estima and going on a 4200 km trip. And back again! But I haven't started converting it yet. Thanks for the inspiration!
you are lucky the car is a Toyota. reliable and wont let you down. Just wondering what you do if there is a breakdown?
It has curtains all around so we can have some quiet time 😂😂😂😂
woodpecker bay, got to love the coast road :)
The mystery swith on dash is rear hestet on my Toyota Estima van that you r wondering what is it for at 4:68 to 5 minutes
This is the best camper for Estima. Great, tasteful. Thank you for the wonderful video. Go on, you're doing great.
Cool... look nice , i had 0ne this estimar super chager i will convet it hihi...
Could you please link where you got your rain shields? I have a Previa and don't know what kind to get. Plz and thank you.
Sorry, no idea--they were already on the van when we bought it!
Very nice back side 😂😂😂 great little conversation
Do you think this would be suitable for someone 6,3 - 193cm or would I have to do without the little kitchen at back?
The button is for the heater of the back seat. I think.
Wow. I'm on the Verge of buying a Toyota Estima here in England so I can travel all of Europe this summer. Your video has help me ALOT! I love the set up and the fact you can easily turn the bed into a living room. I think I'm going to build my little van into how you guys have done it, it's perfect :) Hope you both had an amazing time in New Zealand. I too did a whole year in a van there and absolutely LOVED it! Winter got a little cold but I delt with it ok :D. Thanks so much for your video! Hope you're both doing well. Olly :)
did you buy? I bought an 90's estima in the uk last year, have camped in it by just shoving a double mattress on top of the back seats folded down but currently just doing a quick refurb. Kept one captain's chair but took the others out.
good video..old estima reliable and cheap👍👍
The Japanese reads "Rear Seat Priority", probably the blast of AC fans will shift to the rear with full blast. But judging the video was 2018,..... this info is late , very late ....hahaha
Very nice.
"Rear seat priority heater". That's literally the translation. Just checked lol
did you strip the plastic guards on the inside
Pro tip when in a toyota or Nissan . Google lens with the google translate app can help. Or.. take it to any toyota or nissan dealership and they should know. :)
That button activates the Flux Capacitor!
U R the king of the road , Mite . have a wonderful journey of LIFE . U R sooooooooooooo lucky ..... :)
Great vans, very versatile. Ive done a few conversions on these now. Check out my 1st conversion on my channel. 👍
Heya, do you have a picture of the wooden base layout and dimensions? I'm from NZ and just got a Toyota Estima... We LOVE your conversion and want to do the same bed/table layout! Thanks
Hello Matt & Jenna. I am doing a similar build for my Previa and I have a question. How did you change your oil with the access point underneath the drivers seat? Did you remove the cargo box behind the drivers seat?
I watched this and loved what I saw so much that I bought one! a 1993 2.4 petrol auto.....I Love it!
That's AWESOME! Love it!
What about insurance with the modifications? Cheers
The insurance process in NZ was super simple and we had no problem at all.
The mystery button is Japanese...it says: HEATER!!
Thank you!
I like it
Nice video
awesome van! I was looking at my analytics and it says that I got a bunch of views on my video as up next from your video :))) well done!
Love it. I hope you had a great time. Hopefully, the next owner enjoys the van as much as you both did. That Japanese button is for rear heat but what it actually does when pressed is blow hot or cold air through the door vents to direct air to the back of the van.
The Mystery Button is for the Rear Heat, you hit that button then turn on the rear fan, should blow hot, just check the coolant after just in case!
good tip!
Katakana alphabet used for borrowed words, the first one is "hi" second one is "ta" with a long sound for both, so sounds like heetar (phonetically).
same! i came here to know what the hell is tht button... btw u got original seat:p ..
Hey guys, just wondering if I will have enough space for sleeping since I am almost 1.90m tall. There will be a second person in the car who is not my girlfriend :-)
I wish you both many joyful adventures. Brilliant video
Wondering where the waste water goes and where is the toilet?
Hi Corrie, this is not a self-contained van. Therefore you would need to camp at a campsite with a toilet and grey water facilities. I highly suggest the campermate app to find suitable campsites and public toilets in NZ. :) Thanks for your question.
THis van cannot be used for Freedom camping in NZ as it does not meet the NZ standard for self containment . No usable toilet , where do you tip the water after washing dishes etc , NOT acceptable to be tip out into the enviroment. if using this Van you MUST stay in a camping ground . Liable for instant fine if caught freedom camping . Be aware.
Thanks for you comment Ian. Indeed, this is not a self-contained van. Therefore you would need to camp at a campsite with a toilet and grey water facilities. I highly suggest the campermate app to find suitable campsites and public toilets in NZ. :)
Nice review! I had same car and at this time I have the 4-th Toyota estima (in the nearest time I'm going to buy 5-th). It's easy to get on this car, but it's hard to find a replacement ... Toyta Estima forever!
That button means rear seats got priority
Great tips for local businesses and discounts Good worki
Great conversion! Love that table!
the button is for warp speed
I'm having one of this fantastic car and cant get some spare part in my country, Left hand side front signal light. Can someone assist or link me up to spare parts supplier. Thx! edwardchoi32@gmail.com
Good luck! I hope you find your part!
Love your setup.
My favorite is the bed turning into a table and bench seats. Love the simple kitchen. Nice and to the point. Love your build.
Thank you!
Oh man, great conversion and video! This makes me want to do a video on my Previa (Estima) conversion.
I've got a 96 Lucida amazing car!
Thank you! That is very helpful! ❤️ the Toyota van!
Time Machine Button!!!! ;) Very cool setup, love the table, back kitchen setup and the clothesline.
