I'm guessing the 3rd row, which is not normally removed, because they fold away into the floor, are, at least, 75 pounds. That means, to keep the vehicle at it's factory weight, I have about 200 pounds of RV conversion to play with. With DraigFlag's suggestion of an air mattress and making any cabinetry from corrugated card board, I think I can easily keep the RV conversion to under 200 pounds. This includes my 30 pound folding Mobiky bike. |

Just discovered the perfect solution for my RV bed; an air mattress that was originally designed for backpackers.
User reviews are excellent. By getting the below model, I can fold in a way to provide a "sofa" back and seat cushion during my waking hours. Lightweight Double Air Pad Â*Â*/Â*Â* ALPS Mountaineering Keep up with your thoughts on this topic, everyone! It's helping a bunch. Doug in California. :) |
In the absence of Sienna specific data, Honda Odyssey owners are reporting their 3rd row seats, which fold down into the floor like the Sienna, weigh 120 pounds. That gives my RV conversion a 244 pound budget.
With my 30lb folding bike, plus the 10lb backpacker air mattress, that still gives me another 204lbs. Should be easy to stay under that EVEN with my personal items. |
Google pocket projectors Doug, I'm sure there's a handy one that will suit your needs, check the reviews of course! Are you going to strip any other interior parts? Carpets, plastic trim etc? If there's a spare wheel you could substitute it like most car manufacturers do now with a deflation kit instead. You could use the wheel well for storage then, and you'd save weight.

Here's a great projector comparison website: Top 10 Pico Projectors Don't plan to strip the original parts at this time. That might be too radical, in case I decide to sell. Not looking to go crazy with chasing MPG by gutting the vehicle. Just don't want to ruin the original MPG. I read the Sienna spare tire hangs under the mini-van. For my peace of mind, it can stay. It's 3am-ish in the UK. Go to sleep, for gosh sakes, DraigFlag! :) |
Really? What time zone are you looking at? We are only 5 or 6 hours ahead so it's actually 8.19 pm at the time of this post ;)
