Odyssey Camper Minivan Conversion
Channel: Odyssey Camper
Date: 2017-10-04

Use the minivan you already own, to see the country, then convert it back for normal use.  Use this easy “no build” van build RV, to get out on the road ASAP.

This is "Phase 1" of the Odyssey Camper project, converting the Honda Odyssey into a camper.  Phase 1 shows the quick and cheap route to a functional van conversion, with no permanent modifications.  If you want to head to nomadland, this is your fastest route.  Phase 2 will be a semi-permanent build-up including bed platform, house battery, etc.  This was filmed right after I got back from two weeks in the Badlands and BlackHills of South Dakota (plus Devils Tower!)
