    2006 Toyota Sienna Camper Van Sliding Bed Build

    Yes it's for the batteries to go under the front, assuming I decide to put them there when I get them. It was a v1 bed we built so it may be updated or rebuilt in the future once I get more built in there, but for now it's great!

    2006 Toyota Sienna Camper Van Sliding Bed Build

    For me it was about being able to get my 26 foot A frame ladder in along with my tools and equipment for my job, but wanted to have room for the GF for weekend getaways

    Where to get a good affordable memory foam bed on Amazon?

    The plan is the buy a second smaller cover for the extension piece and to use my sewing machine to sew up some new covers for both. That's good news I can cut the one I bought. I got nervous for a minute.

    How do I know if the one I bought is ok to cut? I got this one. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00Q7EUZLC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Where to get a good affordable memory foam bed on Amazon?

    The issue with that is I won't be able to fully fill out the custom bed frame I made as a single that slides out to a double. I plan on buying a full sized memory foam I can cut to size in two sections.

    Can't edit anymore, but it can not have latex due to my girlfriends latex allergy.

    Where to get a good affordable memory foam bed on Amazon?

    I just built my bed platform, a single that slides out to a double, and I'm curious as to what kind of memory foam you guys suggest. I've heard gel infused is nice. I've also head 3-5 inches is comfortable and it will be going down on a piece of plywood(which I don't want to feel) so I want to...

    Cargo Box/solar panel on top?

    I wouldn't screw to it. Get a flex panel that fits and if it's not enough watts for you, combine a battery isolator to help it out while you drive/sun is not optional. I just made a topic that has a lot of good info from the questions I was asking. Flex seem to break because people flex them all...

    Minivan conversion

    What year is your sienna? I suggest a transmission cooler espically if it is 06-08 and you want to tow. Siennachat has good info on siennas.

    Honda Odyssey - Floor

    I'm currently building a bed(frame is done) in my sienna that goes from a single bed to a double bed. I decided to just build legs in the front to make the bed level. I don't want to lose inches and due to the slant of the floor that means I gain inches in the front under the bed for storage...

    Looking to price together a solar setup for my 2006 Sienna. Have some questions.

    Thank you. For 20$ it seems to only make sense to get one. Will my stock alternator have any issues with this? I don't want to kill it prematurely.

    Sounds great, any recommendation of links to a isolator?

    Looking to price together a solar setup for my 2006 Sienna. Have some questions.

    So you're saying a less powerful solar panel, and an isolator?

    Looking to price together a solar setup for my 2006 Sienna. Have some questions.

    So I just realized I can't order 1 single 300w panel from Renogy. You have to order 2 at a time. This sort of ruins the idea of having one 300w panel. I guess my only option is to try and fit multiple panels. That's unfortunate because the 300w panel fit perfectly on my rack/roof. If three 100w...

    Looking to price together a solar setup for my 2006 Sienna. Have some questions.

    I drive pretty often but I'm not sure if an isolater alone will handle everything I need it to or how long it would take to drive to charge up the batteries vs how long it would take solar to charge up my batteries. I like the idea of solar because even when the car is off it is charging. Maybe...

    Looking to price together a solar setup for my 2006 Sienna. Have some questions.

    Well if I understand correctly 300w will work for me and that's what fits, unless 200w is a better choice for my use. As far as batteries, if I can get 400AH for 400$, then that sounds good to me.

    Looking to price together a solar setup for my 2006 Sienna. Have some questions.

    The laptop is just a regular laptop, not a gaming one or anything. The 18650 would be a daily charge for my vape. I usually charge it through my vape overnight with usb but that's very slow so I think going back to a dedicated charger is the move. Yes from what I've read 200w-300w is what you...
