In exactly 3 days, I am officially retiring!
But before I launch into full-time solo travel in the Spring of 2027, my 2025 Toyota Sienna Hybrid has a double life to live. Right now, I’m the daily chauffeur for my family—hauling my 15-year-old grandson and his football gear and my 1-year-old grandson and his car seat.
But on the weekends? This van turns into my ultimate no-build testing sandbox.
In this video, I strip out the family gear to reveal my completely empty Sienna and test out my very first solo setup: a simple 26-inch mattress and a brand-new tool-free storage cabinet. Let’s just say... things didn't go exactly as planned. 🤦‍♀️📦
