- Do you want to see the videos of the van project on this channel?
Following along with the project. Transforming our minivan for camping - Part 4 - Putting in the back floor surface and building the shelf unit.
I've been spending my useful hours (which aren't too many:) working on transforming our minivan (2015 Toyota Sienna) for going camping. I've been planning to start this project for a couple years now; things just keep getting in the way. Of course we will be taking and using a lot of freeze dried food that we have made over the years.

Before buying a freeze dryer, perhaps research to find out more about the downside of the machine; some people have problems with their machine and it's big and heavy and hard to return!
When trying to decide what to freeze dry you can start by asking why.
Start by asking yourself this question. Why are you freeze drying food? Knowing this should help you decide what you should freeze dry first.
I'm freeze drying because:
Just to freeze dry leftovers?
You want to make your own food for camping/backpacking?
For if/when the SHTF?
For a short term emergency?
You have your own garden and want to freeze dry the food?
You love Costco but don't have a family of 6?
You are good at finding the food sales but only have 1 freezer?
When you cook homemade chili just for yourself you make 10 gallons? Because you have 3 full freezers and are worried about power outages?
If I knew then what I know now, I would have freeze dried things in a different order. Or maybe not, because I started freeze drying because we had 3 full freezers, I was thinking of getting another one, and I decided I should buy a walk-in freezer instead. I started looking into walk-ins and realized they were expensive to buy (even used ones) AND expensive to own and operate. Then I found out Harvest Right was making home sized freeze dryers. One of my first thoughts was "I like Mountain House!" I have used their food for backpacking almost 45 years and we even kept some in our travel trailer, for just in case.
Freeze dried food will stay fresh for many years and be ready and waiting when you need it.
We do videos showing how we are using our Harvest Right Freeze Dryer to freeze dry food for long term storage. (We have the medium size machine that we got in August of 2017) We talk about how to load and unload the freeze dryer, how to know if the food is dry, is it better to freeze dry raw food or cooked food, and do a few taste tests. Freeze dried food is also great for prepping or just for camping and snacking!

Yes, please I love the fact that you were so detailed with how you show us how you’re using your Freeze dryer I can only imagine what I can learn from transforming a camping van
You are doing a great job.
Thanks!
Thanks for the update. To be honest, I prefer the "short" video for this particular subject. (But you can always post the link to the longer one).
As far as the progress, it is looking great. I really like the creativity.
The only real concern I can think of is the proximity of the "Cooler or Fridge" to the biological waste facility. Perhaps you could create some sort of sliding curtain divider that covers it, until it is needed, and when needed it basically protects the cooler or fridge from contact?
🤣 I love your way with words! It paints the picture.
We are absolutely planning for some kind of curtain/divider.
where or what channel are the full videos posted?? I can only find part 3 and 4 on this channel.
Thanks for asking. We just got back from helping #1 son move 2000 miles and will get back to working on this (and making and using freeze dried food soon)
