the chains not being on the sides of the laptop table is so smooth brain lol

Great video! Do you know the difference in trunk dimensions of the 1st gen vs this second gen. I'm 6'1" and prioritize having as much bed length as possible.

I have one and it loses charge while it's turned off

You could replace the chains with hydraulic hinges.

I saw a video of a trailer house, claiming to be the smallest one in the world, with no toilet, and no shower inside. You had to do the shower outside, whatever the weathers like, and the toilet was a chemical sit down you had to do outside. This is not going to happen. If you’re not smart enough to incorporate a shower/toilet combo and these can get fairly small but still doable, then you shouldn’t even even be in the business. You’re an idiot. Absolutely.

How tall are you? I’m 6 foot 2, do you think I could fit?

I lived in Roy, UT for 5 years and did this hike a few times. One time, in a moment of insanity, I decided to hike to Hidden Valley and then bush wack down to Taylor canyon (the canyon you show at the end of the video). Not a smart move doing this solo but I survived. I miss living in Utah.

Could a 6 foot man have enough room to lay down in the back?

I live out in rural horse n cow country and i have seen that done ....also they come crom the factory that way as well....when your looking for one search in the horsey countys ....theres two of them abandoned 2 miles from me out on middle of no where ...good luck 👍🏼

Anyone knows how to disassembe this power station? A "quiet" fans can turn onto not-so-quiet someday - it happened to me, unfortunatelly... One strange thing I saw using the device day-to-day is when under heavy load its UPS-relay may eventually stick and short the output to input - yeah, it is "sick", but it shows an "overload" error on the screen then and requires a full restart after the "incident". Luckily it doesn't burn out anything inside and outside! So, be careful and remember you might have a AC voltage on the input socket even if you do not require it to be there.

Hey thank you for sharing. My husband just found out he has MALT lymphoma in the eye socket as well. The Dr is telling him radiation too. What made your Dr change from radiation to chemo?

Sorry to hear chemo was rough. Can I please ask how long was the total course of chemo?

Why not put your head where your feet are and do option #3 so your legs go into the front seat?

Hope you are well. Looking forward to more videos!

Have you done any load test to see if 1000w continuous is ok for the prius dc to dc iconverter?

If you get a bigger 12v batterie will the charge cycles increase?

Does the car guzzle gas when the AC is used on, eg, an 85 deg day and standing (in ready mode)?

That's some dark liquid in your urine bottle. You may want to see a doctor 😅

I just bought my first Prius, today! 2007 Prius. Your video is helping me a lot. This car does so much.

I needed to do this, heading on a family trip from Louisiana to Colorado. We drive xl suv and still find a way to run out of roo.

amazing! thanks i’m going through a rough one, and this vid helped me A LOt! :)) thanks so much man

Beautiful little car...

I love your video. I am MALT Lymphoma patient. Mine was in my salivary gland. Love your positive attitude.

Not very stealhy but i could see using that tent for room to change or just be able to it up straight in the back. I have a 2nd Gen and have 1300 mile road trips its tight back there for someone 6'!'".

Hey thanks for this vid!

Does the ceiling have wrought iron bars... strong enough to support a hammock? I'm probably going to get a 5x8, so during the day, I need as much open work space as possible.

Hesssss back! Yessssss

Loving the updates!

the worst solar array is the one you never bought.......

You can never have too many. ❤

great review

Welcome back! Great detailed review.

thanks for sharing

you forgot to add the remote to you amazon affiliates page

I bought a 2008 Matrix in bullet grey. It's one of those stories U hear about when a person scores on a buy from an estate sale. The old man of 92 yrs bought this brand new back in 08 and its now 2023. He only drove it to the store and back and kept in the garage. For 2008, it only had 29,000 miles on it! Even the tires were still new, but I bought new ones, though. I discovered that the passenger seat folds completely down through KZbin!! Yay...I am an Rv girl and I sold my 150 truck, cuz I was gonna pull a trailor. After the sale of my truck, I found this on Facebook Market. I scored, and now I am gonna try car camping in Quartzsite to go crystal hunting. Keep your videos coming on camping life.

Followed your lead I put the carriage bolts on the inside, I got the same tractor supply box, put bigger bolts so I could use the big washers silicone caulk around the clamp holes and a bead around the lid ( hopefully it will be water proof).

Nice box. You could have used that long flat u bracket washer that you have on the bottom, you could have used it on the top as a long thin washer.

It looks like I watched this a year ago! I’m watching again! 😅 I took my 3rd gen Prius boondocking, and the ac never shuts off, even if I put in a set point and use auto mode. Almost froze! Same for heat. If I have a higher set point than the outside temp, the ac still stays on in auto mode, doesn’t switch to heat. Do I need a new cabin sensor? Or should the external sensor near the radiator be moved? Who would be able to troubleshoot this? A radiator shop?

I am a new follower of your channel Greetings from Sweden 😊

Will be heading to Darien on Sunday from Massachusetts

The auxiliary battery runs at 14 volts. My inverter detects too high a voltage and shuts off, preventing me from running my 1100 watt vacuum cleaner. How did you get the voltage down to 12?

Inflatable backseat mattress. I camp in my prius. Longest trip was 3 months. I tried many arrangements before i found a backseat inflatable mattress. Covers backseat and footwells. I am 5'8" and i put the front passenger seat forward and folded down and put a pillow on that so i can stretch out completely. Excellent. Leaves entire trunk free for junk and you can forgo inflatable footwell pillar supports and use storage totes. Tip. Dont inflate mattress till hard. Its not a paddleboard. Inflate to your comfort level.

Great video. Sir, can you tell me the length of the gap? You mentioned the hight of the gap is 18 inches. And I think the width is around 80 cm.

I highly recommend screwing the inverter down into the plastic tray. I made the mistake of not doing so and the terminals loosened from it sliding all around, causing a poor connection on the negative terminal and melting the plastic a bit.

i want one so bad

Nice I👍👏👊 just started live in my Prius and I really like your videos

You guys should check out a Honda Element. IMO best car for outdoors. Just not great on gas like a Matrix. But not horrible like a 4Runner

How does it hold up in heavy rainfall? Great video thank you.

Never saw something like that before. 🤔

Yes we did. My 09 Vibe GT, Porky, started popping out of 5th. At 180K, I started looking @ new & newer suvs. They have nothing as perfect as mine so I'm getting a new transmission, rims, windshield & tlc & hope she gives me a few more miles of absolute joy in driving. I love my bear proof cardrop.
