Man I'm getting a sienna in the next few months and living in it full time starting in 2025. It's great so see someone in one and especially someone like you with your great quality of content. Can't wait to follow you on this trip
I don’t have to stand outside because I can sit down in my Sienna mini van to do everything. I keep one seat up, my bed is set up on the opposite side. I can get into my fridge, my pantry, cook, clean and potty without getting out of my vehicle. The key for me is staying well organized at all times. I also keep a small amount of floor space empty at all times. I get out to stand up when I want to or feel the need to do so. I can also get from the front to the back without stepping outside if I want to. I love it. Yes, totally different from being able to stand up in my previous Ram Promaster conversion. Oh well…it’s all good!
Invest in down booties, and down pants. Wear those along with a lightweight down jacket to bed over a light merino wool layer. Super toasty and comfortable.
I don't know whether I ever left this in a comment or if you will remember but I got a van! Now, I gotta wait until April to get the brakes fixed, I've had the fan since October but haven't been able to really go anywhere...the delivery game isn't what it used to be. I got a part-time job but it's not online or anything, hoping to just save and take some weekend trips at first and then go from there...I really need my YT to grow or find SOMETHING online...I don't know how people do this and make enough money w/out a job online and I haven't found anything yet...great to see ya Brandon...I'm excited to watch the future vids!
Thats awesome to hear! Yeah start with small weekend trips first! But honestly depending on how you live on the road, it can be very very inexpensive to travel full time in a van! A lot less than you would think
@@BrandonGross oh yea, I know...but I have had very hard financial times...I haven't had even my own place or paid rent in years, medical issues...just so much, and you do need money to live and have an income on the road of something...things are very different depending on your situation. Your young and fit and have all these things going on...I'm not starting out that way...but I am going to try, hopefully, but I do need to save for emergencies that happen, i've had some experiences and luckily I was prepared.
Brandon!! The van looks awesome!! Glad you got a soft topper for your mattress and I hope it works out better for you! Gotta get good sleep to be drivin so much! Don’t blame you for wantin to see snow, but be safe bro! Don’t get stuck! I’m really lookin forward to watching this journey!! Prayin for your safe travels 🙏❤️ Have fun!
Going up hill in snow, in the dark, with no snow chains, etc and then stopping. All that is the definition of not knowing what to do in snow. You really got lucky
Hey Brandon, same story here. I just bought a 2008 sienna and I’m hitting the road mid April (Nashville>Denver). So glad I’m going when there is no snow in the road lol
Currently bundling out my 2021 Sienna awd to travel later this year! I've done traveling in different vehicles in the past, but having what's essentially a Prius van with all-wheel drive that I can have heat or AC running all night is a game changer. Plus I'm getting close to 40 mpg around town and if I hypermile on the interstate, I can almost get 50 mpg.
Too cool! Safe travels! Also we just got some property and the offer still stands if you want to come ride some. Our new track should be open end of April beginning of May sometime. Hoping to have a arenacross track, hillclimb, and moto track
Brandyn as we know it's all a sacrifice. Better gas mileage & easier parking & driving but no space inside. I don't blame you for being a van soccer man ! Lol summer no problem winter can suck & good luck ! No I'm not a poet ....
Good call not driving any further down that road. You might not ever make it out of there. Colorado got hammered with snow and blizzard conditions. Safe travels...
Enjoy the videos Well done. I want to do the same. Trying to rid myself from self isolation depression and worrying about shit I can’t control. Do you suggest the Sienna vs Odyssey? Reason I ask is AWD vs FWD. Happy 4th
At least you are able to save on petrol money .. guess you do miss the freedom of your van/ambo..where you were able to do so much more in your van like standing up and cooking plus sleeping so much comfortable and you could get up and you could dress properly .. etc and do your editing but guess it might mean you should be doing at libraries or cafes

no way! I love to hear it! You'll have to stay in touch and show me your build! Thanks for the support!
@@BrandonGross For sure! I'm over in Cincinnati for sure interested in some tips of cool spots in Pennsylvania! Be safe!
💗 my 2013 Senna ! 💗 Toyota !!!

would love to see your layout! Sounds ideal!
I would love for you to visit and film her van @@BrandonGross
Catalogue of poor planning. Bike not covered. Bed in a mess. Walmart for basic stuff. Design that forces you outside.

Who needs a blanket when you can dress up like a walking sleeping bag? 😂
@@BrandonGross Exactly! 😀

Thanks again, Brandon. Stay warm🥰
Thank you!

Thank you!! Yeah the mattress topper has been a game changer 🙌🏻
@@BrandonGross Nice! I’m glad! Hope you’re doin well 🥰
I miss the ambulance. That was so unique. I have yet to see anything as cool :)
Ahhh I miss it too!!
You could add an awning with drop down walls so you could stand outside while still being inside. I’m sure you thought of this though. Be safe. ✌️🍻
not a bad idea !
I was also going to comment this.

How people disappear
I like to think that the dead don't mind a traveler stopping by to sleep. A cemetery is a place of rest after all.
Cheers to the next adventure!
Thank you!!
Adventure 🤙🏼🔥
Looks like Rochester, PA at 1:01. Cool!
haha you are correct!!
Loved it! Good 1st quest in the minivan. Can’t go wrong with memory foam toppers. Safe travels. 🍻🤟🏼
Hey Brandon, same story here. I just bought a 2008 sienna and I’m hitting the road mid April (Nashville>Denver). So glad I’m going when there is no snow in the road lol
Snow made it a bit tricky but it was SO much fun!
All that snow made me cold! Stay safe out there!
You and me both haha thanks!

Dude that’s crazy! I would love one of the hybrids. How do you like it so far ??
Hypermile?
Honestly you beat the shit out of the van and having that Suron I wonder why not really what a lot of people would be doing
Who needs a boring commute when you can have an adventure with a beaten-up van, right?
Thanks for for the new Adventure!
Love all your videos of your travels and adventures!
Thank you!
electric blanket from walmart will be your best friend for cold nights
O boy... i hope you didn't get much more snow... I saw video on the news of cars covered in it in CO
I love driving in crazy snow 🙌🏻
Another very nice video Mr. Gross
Thank you kindly
boy scouts always check the weather radar
Hey bro. If you’re ever near Vegas hit us up! We’ll take you gold mining 🤘🏻
I would love that! I will be near Vegas in a couple weeks
Anyone else see the old creepy house shack thing and instantly think of Courage the cowardly dog?! 😂
Yes! 🐶
Too cool! Safe travels! Also we just got some property and the offer still stands if you want to come ride some. Our new track should be open end of April beginning of May sometime. Hoping to have a arenacross track, hillclimb, and moto track
Where at again???
@@BrandonGross grantsville, WV lol
Hell yea dude looks fun. Looking forward to the next one.
These adventures are getting pretty damn fun!
Brandyn as we know it's all a sacrifice. Better gas mileage & easier parking & driving but no space inside. I don't blame you for being a van soccer man ! Lol summer no problem winter can suck & good luck ! No I'm not a poet ....
haha thank you! the better gas mileage has been great so far!
Heard some really bad things about Active & Fit, like some of the gyms they listed actually have no partnership with Active & Gym...
I would trade my Explorer and get a sienna already have a build in mine. I would risk going on areas i don't know
I am lost.Why go to snow without preparations? No 4WD, better tires or chins?
Good call not driving any further down that road. You might not ever make it out of there. Colorado got hammered with snow and blizzard conditions.
Safe travels...
Yeah the minivan can only handle so much haha thanks!
Enjoy the videos Well done. I want to do the same. Trying to rid myself from self isolation depression and worrying about shit I can’t control. Do you suggest the Sienna vs Odyssey? Reason I ask is AWD vs FWD. Happy 4th
Stay warm safe travels
Trying my best! Haha
Why don’t you wear a seatbelt sometimes when driving?
Did you stop in and say Hi to Bob when you stopped at M&P?
Hello Brandon. What kind of heating system do you use in there?
A heated blanket and a $9 electric heater from Walmart that I haven’t used yet haha. I’ll go over the whole van in detail on an upcoming video
@@BrandonGross Cool man, thanks for the reply!
Any plans to go back to a bigger rig after the trip?
I already have something in the works but it's a secret for right now haha
@@BrandonGross I feel like it has to do with that white ford 🤔
This is a fun trip 😂
I'm having an ABSOLUTE BLAST ill tell ya now!
You should have used a butane stove instead of an electric hot plate
Yes, you're probably right and this electric hot plate just suits my needs. Maybe if it dies...
I guess a lift might be a good thing if you were planning on keeping it.
Yeah I am heavily considering it
@@BrandonGross that’s awesome!
Im living in a dodge grand caravan its not that bad rainy days do make it a little tough to strech not gonna lie.
Heck yeah! Minivan squad!
Not bad man not bad at all
Just wondering is there Palm trees in Indiana ? 2:55
😎
😎
Did the Active and Fit pass work at Planet Fitness? I looked it up and it looks like a great program... if it really does work.
Really cool
Thank you so much for your kind words!
@@BrandonGross of course! Good luck to you
Once you get back, I'm curious what will be your cost of gas. Thank you.
Safe trip.
I have it all written down! I’ll do a cost breakdown at the end
How are you keeping your van warm? I want a Good diesel heater in mine.
Good thumbnail
Thank you! My new video editor is in charge of this and it's been a huge help!
What did you do with the other van?
I sold it!
You sold out ? Lol
What’s the gym membership where you can use any gym anywhere?
Brandon do you built other people's van
I would for the right price!
@BrandonGross ok I'm gonna keep you post. I'm buying a 2020 Toyota Senna and I want my middle seats completely out and the bars
@@angelabraggs7614 where are you located?
Cali
Well how the hell are ya? Haven’t seen ya in a minute? 😊
Doing pretty good! Can’t complain! What about yourself?
At least you are able to save on petrol money .. guess you do miss the freedom of your van/ambo..where you were able to do so much more in your van like standing up and cooking plus sleeping so much comfortable and you could get up and you could dress properly .. etc and do your editing but guess it might mean you should be doing at libraries or cafes
So American that false advertisement
Its still pants
No. I believe its now and forever, Pant.
That's a lie granola and yogurt is not healthy
BUT IT'S SO GOOD
Boring , boring , boring.
Rude
Homie, no one cares.
More exciting than your life I'd imagine! 😅
Paid promotions = fake van life 🎉
