I’m shocked with the air quality inside my minivan camper. I ran a full 24-hour data logging experiment inside my Toyota Sienna to track CO2, VOCs, and PM2.5 levels during real-world camping scenarios.

• Cooking with propane inside? 🍳 (Spiked huge)

• Sleeping with windows sealed? 😴 (Hit 5,000 ppm CO2)

• Idling the engine for heat? 🚗 (You won't believe this result...)

Check out the full breakdown and the graphs on my second channel, Overland Minivan.

I just toured a full-time rig that was built with ZERO power tools.

Vinnie lives in a 2024 Kia Carnival, and instead of a complex wood frame, he used a patio daybed he bought off the shelf at Home Depot. He kept the stow-and-go seats, used zip ties to level everything, and focused on the actual experience of traveling rather than the construction.

It’s stealthy, it’s simple, and it works.

If you’ve been stuck in "analysis paralysis" trying to design the perfect layout, this video is your permission slip to keep it simple.

Instead of fighting for parking spots at the mall, I parked in the middle of nowhere to listen to the rain hit the roof.

Join me for a solo trip where I test out the "Garage" setup, cook a full meal electrically, and get the best sleep of my life in the back of a minivan.

Most people think you need a diesel heater or to run your engine all night to survive the cold. You don't!

I just dropped a new video on ‪@OverlandMiniVan‬ showing exactly how I stay toasty warm without burning a drop of gas.

This is the 1st unit I’ve used that runs 240v and 120v at the same time! So, I’ve got some new tests I’ve never tried before and this thing is a monster.

I’m torn between the extra space of a narrow bed vs. the comfort of a wider one. I just finished this budget build for my 2015 Sienna with three goals:

1. Under $200 (Came in around ~$180 all-in).
2. Simple tools only.
3. MAX storage behind the third row.

I ended up using a slightly narrower frame to keep the "garage" storage area open, but I’m curious what the group thinks.

For the solo campers here: Do you run a 24" sleeper to save space, or do you sacrifice storage for the full 30"?

I've been trying to solve the biggest problem in my Toyota Sienna: how to build a comfortable bed that's dirt-cheap, super easy to build, AND still leaves a ton of room for storage.

Well, I think I've finally cracked it!

In my new video, I show you how I built a solid, level bed platform for only $180. The best part? It's a super simple DIY project that anyone can do (I basically just used a drill) and it completely maximizes the storage space underneath.
If you've been looking for a simple, practical bed build for your minivan, SUV, or small camper, you've got to check this out.

What if the real secret to getting out there... isn't more gear?

I’m taking the adventure back to simpler times and nust dropped a full tour of my "Keep It Simple" minivan camper build over on my second channel, ‪@OverlandMiniVan‬.

This is... weird.

I just found a new minivan camping channel, and the style is wildly similar to mine. Same van, same setup. It's uncanny.

Honestly, I think it might be... better? 😬

Check it out and tell me what you think. Am I going crazy?
