The 2011 sienna has the spare underneath the right side of second row seating. Look under the slide door from the outside. I’ve had 3 different siennas. Both your model and the previous model stored it there. You need to find the cut out in the carpet by the second row right seat. There is a bolt you use the tire iron to turn and it’ll lower the tire. Make sure you pump it up periodically once you locate it. Hopefully this helps.

Hey, did you get your Siennas lifted? If so how high? Are you happy with it?

@windsweptwhimsy 2 ай бұрын

His vehicle is AWD so it doesn't come with a spare. It comes with run flat tires.

@candacefortier4582 2 ай бұрын

I came here to leave this comment. It looks like his shelving unit is probably on top of the screws to lower the spare.

@marionsutcliffe1119 2 ай бұрын

No spare on AWDs.

This is going to become more popular. I think its really what most people need. You can set something up like this for 5k total, instead of spending 50k+ on a sprinter van. Most of these can put the seats under the floor so you dont really need to modify it for a bed. You also get way better MPG than a Sprinter. Other vans are in such high demand, this is a great solution

It's exactly what I'm about to be doing once sell house for those exact reasons combined with being stealth, much easier to have shop work on them / tow, the list goes on. You can also pull small cargo trailer, diferent roof options, and many other things. Entire point of van life is travel and explore with simple place to sleep - it's not to stay in $200,000 sprinter.

I've got this same van and just did a 5,000 mile road trip from South Carolina to Utah. I love your use of space

Cool minivan build! I have the European Toyota Estima and love it! I had a sprinter camper and far too much of a pain as a daily driver in Europe so I got the Toyota minivan and it’s great!

@lauraslanesvanlifetravels 3 ай бұрын

Just a friendly suggestion...maybe put the shoes just on the other side where the tools are? Since that is annoying and well, could cause an accident...jsn...if I ever get out on the road, think I'm going to get that fridge...that being able to plug in easily to a battery and not convert or anything complicated, AND uses little power is what i need!

Thank you! I appreciate the support even though I’m in a completely opposite vehicle now haha I miss the ambo!

Looks bad but reflects heat. We need to see how you live in the space in a van tour. Cook? Eat? Shower? Emergency potty?

@GlimisGagetry 19 күн бұрын

Each socket has a rating which might be lower than that of the fuse which is for the whole circuit. Like in homes where one outlet might be able to handle 15a and the breaker for the circuit that is connected to multiple outlets including that one is 25a. So you could draw 25a through one 15a socket until the breaker trips even if the socket can’t handle 25a! Always make sure the gauge wire and rating for each individual socket is sufficient not just the main fuse. In some scenarios a serious electrical fire can result so everyone check what your doing before preceding with wiring. Cheers! (Please pin for safety reasons signed your friendly neighborhood electrical engineer)

Brandon when you add the inline fuse to the Anker is there a possibility you can do a video on that? How you have that settup is exactly how I planned on setting up my power station.

The real cool thing is when you get pulled over for too dark of tinted windows...you can laugh at the cop. Also...tire plugs would have worked on that blown tire.😂

Do you mean on the under side of the van? I just bought a 2017 sienna awd so I’m curious about how to add spare.

@JanetK1969 Ай бұрын

Like it has been said before, the spare is under the van. I'm just picturing you kicking yourself after realizing it could have been there when you had a flat 😊. I personally don't like the "chicken" tire they give you and I'm wanting to get a full size spare but I have been told it would be too low to the ground underneath so I'm trying to figure the best way to carry a full size spare tire without it being inside and I am not sure about mounting it on the back of the van. I'm considering the roof rack

I love the Mini conversion. I bet its a lot easier to stealth camp now. Do you miss the Ambulance though? Oh and, You might already know this. There should be a spare tire under the car. Maybe its just missing. It goes under the right rear passenger floorboard. There is a nut you turn to lower it and raise it. The hardware to hang it should be there.

@BrandonGross 4 ай бұрын

The stealthiness of the minivan has been great to be honest! Of course I miss the ambo though, and yeah my minivan definitely had no spare

How do you heat and cool the van? Just idle the engine and use van's HVAC system?

Some Sienna's do include a spare but his year and model do not

Remove the passenger seat for double the storage there, make a shelf/table, so much better

Be cool if you could get a spare wheel holder that goes on your boot door (sorry trunk door) I'm in the UK lolol, but yer like they have on Land Rovers, least thst way you'll have a spare to get you out of trouble

Hey Brandon; do you ever worry about losing the e-bike, it being on show all the time? Does it lock down to the tow hitch?

Yes I do stress about that a lot haha. But it is heavily locked down to the van

With all of the stories about lithium batteries catching fire, do you worry about the one you have catching fire in your van?

@marionsutcliffe1119 2 ай бұрын

Lithium polymer vs lithium iron phosphate. Different kind of battery.

@johnsnyder1046 2 ай бұрын

@@marionsutcliffe1119 yes, while LiFePO4 batteries are a lot safer they still have risks from overcharging, short-circuiting, physical damage, and extreme temps
