We are a family of four that like the outdoors. We like to camp and car camp in our 2015 Sienna as a family. We have it modified a bit with a bunk so our kids 9 & 12 sleep up there and we sleep below. It’s not ideal but we find that it works ands saves us money on hotels on road trips.
I also have an 2010 Scion xB with a moderate build that I use for solo camping road trips. (Videos to come)
We are currently working on a trailer build. It’s only 5x8 but we found a very comfy trifold mattress and the kids will sleep on hammocks above us. (Videos to come)
Thank you all for watching!

OK weird question maybe but what are those bowls at 8:00 ?? Seem like the perfect size for camp meals.
Walmart from a looong time ago. Absolutely love them and still rocking em today!
What kind of roof rack cross bars set up do you have? Wheels and tires set up? Tire size?
@@m1st3rnava Rhino roof rack with aero bars. 11 years old, not sure td they are sold anymore. Stock tires and suspension minus a TRD strut tower brace and air helper bags.
Did someone say "single"?
This company is trash
Nice
I almost bought an Xb but instead chose a Rav4 '13-'18 to do the same thing as you. Better mpg with his 2.5L and 6 speed ,it's not a 4x4 only fwd .Same cargo capacity rear seat completely removed, I'm 6'4'' and with the front passenger seat still in place but all the way forward my MundoKing Thermarest (same length as me) fit perfectly in the rear. I built a collapsible half platform to level the sleeping area. To sleep better with the windows closed because we quickly suffocate without air exchange I have a bypass in the rear to control without the ignition key the blower fan of the Rav ,so I leave it for only a few minutes while I wake up at night. Never had a battery drain problem with this.
I had it for 10 years before I decided to try camping in it. It works well for my situation without having to get a new ride. Happy camping!
Very cool. Congrats.
I own land out there and too many people don’t check the maps. BLM land is not all of it just part of it
On the lake bed or surrounding area? I use the BLM map overlay and I was nowhere near close to private land. Only on the drive in/out. Did you thumbs up your own comment? 🤣
Could show a photo or explain how the feet were made to hold up your camp kitchen box that looks 100% exactly what my family needs to make!!!
Thank you, sir!!
I have a Scion xB 2006
I wanna do that thank you 😊
i have been watching van life vids but i really want an 06 xb. glad to know the cabin is that spacious, even though you don't have the classic boxy shape.
It’s not bad. It works for me!
These are much more potent, and feel sturdier, quieter, better equipped, much Safer. Love my 15. Cool Build!!
WE have Toyota Sienna 2008, it is only 150000 miles. Do you think it is okay with two weeks road trip from Houston to LA, and Washington state and back to Houston.
Hey man is there a memory funktion in this strip? Does it start in the last mode if you disconnect it from power?
Excellent 🎉 #Scionxb camper
Nice design and build 🎉
Do you know if this works for Scion xd2014?
Nope. Different cars and this is 100% custom anyways.
Love it!!
Thanks bud, happy camping!
I love your videos ❤
What about night time bathroom needs?
They get out and use the rest area or camp grounds bathroom. If we are on BLM, use the hole we dug. It’s that easy!
Dang! This is super cool!
You love me?
@magyverled oh my God he replied to me?
You've inspired me. I had to do a road trip from Maryland to Ft. Bliss Tx. Then back home. Something like this would work so great for me. I may have to look into doing something like this for my future. Scions are so great on gas too. 5 speed here standard. Love it.
I’m a believer in “run what ya brung” no need to wait for perfect timing, grab what you have and go hit it! My first trip was sleeping on the seats!
You are so cute!! ❤
I tried and failed repeatedly. I finally figured out that my Android's bluetooth settings did not have the "Discover nearby devices" enabled. I set the property to "enable", and the app connected immediately on my next try.
I miss the old days when my kids were still toddlers to teenagers years we frequently took road trips together in minivans. The best minivan for road trips has been the 2005 Toyota Sienna, the Sienna accumulated 325K miles with only minor repairs. It’s roomy and ride quality exceeded my expectations because of excellent suspension and thick padded seats with velour smoothness. Kids have grown up and have their own vehicles but I still have the 2005 Sienna.
Do you know how to remove the plastic on the sides of the spare tire? I have a water leak coming in from one of them and can't remove the external panels because my scion was in an accident
10mm bolts 2x at the bottom
THANK YOU @@magyverled
SIIIIICK!
Your current design is no good, do this way: 1) remove the head rests for both passenger seat and rear seat; 2) push the passenger seat all the way forward; 3)bring down the back of rear seat and push down the back of passenger seat towards rear seat. In doing so, the tip of the back of passenger seat could touch the tip of rear seat, squeeze it down until they are flat against each other. your current design removed the back of rear seat and replaced it with some wood plate, how much space you created in this kind of design? not much!
Well, all your ideas keep things in which take up valuable space. This was for storage and to get 6’ of 100% straight and level sleeping platform. It’s been refreshed and I rock only the drivers seat and there is no other way for me. czcams.com/users/shortsrFXhN_36rD0?si=0IP06cK1UaDpX347
Big mess!
Everything in its place. 🤷🏼
The back of passenger seat can be laid flat to make more space in that direction, especially when you already removed the back of back seat.
Na, that takes up valuable storage then. That was my old system. I run no seats in the current setup though.
This can also be used for moving, which I am driving for such a long 8 hour drive
Brilliant design, but your daughter is pretty tall, isn’t the upper bed too short for her?🤔
Where did you get the boards from?
Menards
Nice setup. How are the legs attached to it?
They slide up in. And rest between handles i added. Then i have some bolts that go through it for securing
Well done!!! Your kids are luckiest kids in the world. Take care 🤗🤗🤗
Fantastic!!!
Amazing set up. I wish we’d gotten the van
but you don't have to do it through the app, do you? it seems so tedious and unnecessary. also, how do you use 2.4GHZ if the wifi has 5-G? please tell me I can skip all this and just stick it on and do it manually!!!
i have the exact layout, the great thing about this setup is that you have a lounge area in the back seat, great for hangout/eating/reading/gaming when its raining or mosquitos outside.
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Nice build and beautiful family! thanks for sharing your camper set up!
I have similar set up with the Massimo and Jackery 1000 plus two 100 w panels. I need both panels if I want charge rather than just maintain the battery level.
Thank you for sharing your trip. My family of four are planning an upcoming 14 day road trip for my 40th as well and your videos provide so much clarity in the planning process.
Have fun and when all else fails, send it anyways!!!
Is there a video of the making of the rear bunk area?
Yes! czcams.com/video/1eA0cIEgSVY/video.html
I used your video as inspiration for my own build. One important detail regarding sleeping dimensions is that the interior skin of the XB's hatch is THICK, and when closed protrudes into the hatch enough to rob you of about 3 inches. 3" may seen trivial, but if you're 6 feet tall, it prevents you from being able to sleep straight, and forces you to sleep at an extreme angle, which is uncomfortable; and negates camping with a second person. Bummer
Looks good!
My grandparents always took my bros and I camping. It was fun and all, but the BEST camping trips were when my grandpa took us to just random spots that weren’t camping sites. Shot a gun for the first time during one of these trips.
Glad you decided to rent the Jeep. Any chance you will post more pics and videos? Cheers! Richard
