Nice van and nice logic for owning that van.. Keeping it simple and stealthy with a low profile gives you more options on places to camp. Toyota Sienna is a proven reliable vehicle. Good Call Soup! You're the man!
Hi! All great points! I own a few 'modes to camp'. A 25 foot 2007 Arctic Fox trailer, which we bought to replace a stolen 31 foot 2008 Jayco, a 1992 Toyota MH, which i have (along with my husband) done a bunch of work on and is my "honey". And 2 years ago, I started car camping in my Toyota Matrix. Now a rav4. Each of our RVs has a different purpose. But, the car camper is the funnest! I can go so much further for the same amount of gas money. I can stay just about anywhere I can park it. I traveled from southern BC to the Yukon last fall in it and had such a blast! I do have a 'bucket list' item of getting a Sienna for just a little more room. Maybe one day! Good luck with your channel!
Thank you for the kind words, I am sorry to hear about your stolen Jayco. I am not a huge fan of the hybrid siennas unfortunately. Something about the weight with a 4cyl has me skeptical. lol. Only time will tell :)
I am building a sienna and love your videos so much, they are very inspirational. I hope this channel gets WAY more attention. I also love your cooking as well :) Keep up the good work my friend!
I've had an '03 Tacoma that I was crazy about. After putting almost 260K on it, in 12 years, I had to give up due to an accident. Now I have an '03 4Runner. Looking foward to camping it it!!
Very good idea, I actually am building out a skoolie right now and can agree they are very bad on gas but its a beast. I plan on parking it in one place and only using it maybe 2 times a year. Love your content and your channel. Gave me a lot of ideas!!
I have a Ford Transit and cannot wait to sell it. I had a dodge grand caravan which I sold for the transit. Yes I have more room but it has been at a shop for the past 6 months for a faulty transmission. The cost is astronomical and I want my minivan back so bad!
I bought a Prius V 2012 with 60,000 miles for $16,000. I had it lifted with a skid plate and all terrain tires. Gas mileage with using climate control all night is 30 MPG. If I don't use the climate control then I get around 40 MPG. I have it set up with Fridge- Cooking Area( inside the car) - Food Storage and Clothing Storage, a Bed & also a Toilet. It is 100 % livable and comfortable. One thing I don't have is AWD but front wheel drive seems to be fine for what I need. Sounds same I do the forest roads and tonight am out in Coconino but have been able to do the forest roads quite well. I also have a Roadtrek and am more happy with this. I don't use propane either I have an inverter hooked up to the battery that is in back and use electric cooking items that work quite well. - Siennas are great you should really enjoy it. I know I am enjoying my Prius. The Roadtrek gets 12 - 15 MPG and I have to say the climate control in the Prius is much more comfortable no matter where or what temp. it is. I am sure you will have fun adventures in the Sienna.
WOW, a Prius sounds so cool. I don't think I would fit but that sounds really cool. I will check out your videos. I have seen people lift them and do all sorts of cool stuff to them. Thanks for the support :)
@@TheSoupier ‘11 Ford F350. No one would touch it for days because it’s a diesel. The Ford dealer had about 10 gas mechanics and 2 diesel mechanics. They’re overrun.
From my recollection it was put in limp mode and having starting issues due to cross wind assist being activated? Then again it was a conversation I overheard or read somewhere. Glad that you like your sprinter though, I would like to get one someday. :)

I cannot wait to see some vids of your build! Thank you for your awesome comment and support :)

I've got a 2012 xle sienna campervan that I love. Thanks for the video!
How many miles so far? Any videos? Such a great camper, I am glad you like yours and thanks for watching :)
I love your Sienna!!! Had a 14 XLE AWD. Most reliable and comfortable car my husband and I have ever owned.❤
Thank you so much for the kind words. I really like mine and was lucky to find one in such good shape :)

A skoolie? A full size!! That sounds epic! Thank you for your feedback it is appreciated. I cannot wait to see a few photos!

I'm sorry to hear of your run of bad luck. What are you going to get next?

Yes. I’ve been stranded five days over a diesel dually transmission linkage. That’s why I have time today to watch videos made by way smarter people.
Oh my! I am sorry to hear, what kind of vehicle? I remember having my tire on my sienna explode. Run flats suck to say the least...

@@KristiLEvans1 That is crazy to hear. I wish you the best of luck. Hopefully you get it back asap so you can continue your journey.
The van wouldn't start because of wind?.. sounds like BS to me.. i prefer being able to stand up , not spend my days on my knees
