I am buying this car right now. It will come from the USA. But as European I will have no storage area under, because it will be a place for gas tanks 😂
Great video. My Hyundai Santa Fe had a panoramic sunroof and it was great for ventilation, plus I got to go to sleep looking at the stars. Now I'm in a Sienna minivan with a regular sunroof. On a positive note, that gives me a lot more headroom but I miss lying in bed, looking at the stars.
I loved your video. I have a 2020 hybrid and I pretty much the same set up as yours and so glad you literally explained everything for people who might be interested in a pacifica. The only thing with my van is that I don't have the sto-n-go due to mine being a hybrid. so I have both my middle row seats in a garage back home.
1300 people liked the video , but if all of them subscribed to his channel he could be monetized. Good job dude. I just bought a 2021 Pacifica. I love it! I rented a hybrid for a month when my prior vehicle, a jeep, was in an accident. I knew then I’d own one eventually. I used to go stealth in my Jeep grand Cherokee overland summit. So this is going to be much better. I don’t have the inverter so I bought a plug in. Mostly for the induction portable stove I have.
I have yet to see one for sale used by a dealer that has the sunroof. Then again, I'll likely be carrying a 12' surfboard on the roof (I doubt it will fit inside) so the sunroof might not be so useful after all! And a surfboard on the roof overnight sort of kills the whole idea of stealth. We'll see.
I’m looking at getting a Pacifica or Yukon 2016 for full time living and part time hauling job. I love everything about Pacifica mostly the good gas mileage, but I’m scared about the hauling capacity. Can it haul a trailer attached?
Don't give up. I have the same van/color but your right, totally blends if parked in right place. Love the hotel parking idea. Would love to see more from you. Best wishes. Perry
I just bought a 2022 Pacifica and want to remove the 3rd row seats to have all that room. Can this be done? I’m hoping so and who would do this? Appreciate your answer or others out there who have done this
I have a 2017 Chrysler Pacifica camper van and have removed all my 3rd seats and one of my second row seats. It can be done! I built a kitchen with slide out drawer and sink in back and my frig plugs into 12 volt at back. Also built a fold out bed platform on one side with a trifold matress. It is very cozy and have been on several extended trips a few weeks at a time.
I actually have a Chrysler Pacifica and am preparing to live in it full time. I am curious about the insulation. Does it seem to retain heat once your windows are covered?I am more concerned about being cold. My van only has the front two sunroofs. I had not thought about using the sunroof for lighting and ventilation. Thanks for sharing.
I use one of those tri-folding exercise mats that you can get at any Walmart or Target. Then I lay with my head towards the back of the vehicle. That really negates that bit of hump when the floor transitions to the rear folding seats.
I have a 2017 Pacifica also and I love love it for camping. Could you do a video on removing the second row seats? I cannot find how to do it. Thank you!
Hi Jamie! I found this video that shows how to use the Stow-n-Go seats ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VqzSsSUXfMs.html hope this helps!
Me too. I bought a GT Caravan from Dodge. I drove from Florida to Arizona and California to visit family. I-10 rest stops or Cracker Barrel was perfect. I ran a fridge off that 110 as I drove. Milk and cereal and Sandwiches.
Here are two mistakes this man has made.... look at the beginning of this video and you will see a rod with his so called black material behind his head.... He thinks that the material is black. But since it reflective, it's not. A cop shines his flashlight into the car and his light will shine back at him giving you away. The best material to use is black velvet. It's really black but with no reflections. It eats light. Since black is not a color, it simply is the absence of all light. His other mistake is that he has done the channel in the cloth for the rod at the top of the fabric leaving empty space of 6" above it. You will want to create that channel in the fabric with at least 7" of material above the channel that the rod goes through. Then you have that extra fabric filling in that gap.
Thanks Chris for the ideas. I agree, velvet would be even better, or maybe even felt. As far as the gap, I initially thought the same thing. I tested this at night by closing the curtains and putting a small light on inside the back of the van. I wasn't able to see anything through the windshield. Admittedly, I'm a taller guy. Maybe if I was shorter, I would have seen the gap. Thanks again!
I ran into that issue just last weekend. I was at a campsite next to a stream in Tennessee. Underneath the leaf litter, the ground became saturated and was very slippery. I quickly buried the van back tire and was stuck. Fortunately, we had a hard freeze that night, about 15 degrees Fahrenheit. Once the ground froze, I was able to get traction. I'm not going to lie, I would have loved 4WD and another couple inches of clearance. Thanks again, Joe.
