https://www.motortrend.com/news/toyota-sienna-prime-phev-rumor-details-photos/ I doubt this rumour is true.

I'm starting to consider how to extend the battery capacity. I am considering buying a second 12V AMG deep cycling battery, identical to the Sienna battery. connecting the second battery to the existing one in parallel. I will put safety features between the two batteries, but i am just...

I am starting to get the impression that Toyota expects you to use the Sienna in a cycling fashion when camping. Idle the car for long enough to replenish the resources, e.g., battery level, refrigerator temperature, etc.... Otherwise, i really don't understand the point of the features for...

Do you have an opinion about the small Sienna refrigerator? The refrigerator strikes me in the same manner as the 110VAC outlet. The refrigerator only seems useful while the motor-generator 1 (MG1) is running. Toyota takes advantage of the powerful compressor used to cool the 600V components...

Thanks. I draw much inspiration from boats. I suppose i will buy components from West Marine after i develop a plan. The Ottoman feature is what i find most valuable about the Sienna so far. The Ottoman seems to transform space very well for the dimensions of the cargo area. Can sit or recline...

Certainly something i will seriously consider. Right now, i am trying to understand the most advantageous electrical platform to build on top of. I am actually in the education stages.

Reflections on Hybrids Winnebago Revel set the trend by putting 110VAC, 2000W outlets in 4x4 vehicles. The reality is high wattage 110VAC is a very expensive luxury item. High wattage 110VAC requires a very large battery to be practical. Very large batteries require DC (not AC slow) fast...

At Warm Your Floor, we recommend 120V systems for heated areas less than 150 square feet (at 12 W/sf), and 240V systems for heated areas more than 150 square feet. The reason for this is a single thermostat can control 15 amps. Most heated tile floors and electric floor heating systems use 12...

How to increase 6.5Ah Prius battery to 8Ah and how that helps performance. The Outlander is 32Ah, for comparison sake. I guess the RAV4 Prime is about 50 to 60 Ah? The Winnebago Revel is 250Ah total. Replacing the 12VDC battery with a higher capacity and/or additional one, might be a solution...

The Winnebago Revel can serve as a reference vehicle for features or layout that benefit your application. The Revel is heated by diesel fuel. https://www.winnebago.com/models/product/motorhomes/class-b/revel https://newatlas.com/automotive/2021-winnebago-revel-off-road-camper-van/...

That's funny, did you photoshop the images?

Perplexing Hybrid Car Manufacturer Marketing Hybrid vehicles have not been marketed as great camping vehicles until now. Hybrid cars are designed to efficiently generate AC power. Why this obvious advantage was overlooked seems very confounding. I am also convinced that minivans can be...

Use Cellphone Software to Manage Devices Drawing Power from 110VAC Outlets (via HV Battery) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/On-board_diagnostics#Mobile_device-based_tools_and_analysis Hybrid power flow provides distinct advantages over traditional cars. The motor-generator 1 (MG1) starts the...

How to tap into powerful Hybrid Synergy Drive power flow??? Tap into electrical system at 12V battery, where refrigerator connects, or somewhere better?

You're right. Compromise is the name of the game. I cannot have everything, just what works best for my situation.
