I would never buy a air mattress ever again you just pray to god every single day and hope that it does not leak, ive bought cheap expensive electric pump you name it, and i dont even own pets or have anything thats sharp around the mattresses, still leaks. Dont buy air mattress if longevity is what you seek, ive wasted atleast 400 dollars on these through out 6 months.

Liar just want someone’s information

Love the minimalistic approach.❤ I’m considering using this approach in Prius Living.

Thanks for the video. It's so refreshing to sleep in the car and it's amazing experience. GOOD JOB!!!

was it difficult shagging in it?

What year is this Prius

So helpful, Thanks! (I just received magnetic hanging curtains for Prius side windows $40 Amazon)

i thought the reason to use a Prius was temperature control? why sleep in the cold?

Hi there! You look like a young Val Kilmer😊

Thanks!

Good video. I use an ice chest to fill the gap behind the front passenger space, and have a four-inch thick piece of foam as a mattress. During the day the mattress folds back double into the cargo area without taking the blankets, etc., off. The Prius is perfect for my road trips, which are anywhere from two days to two weeks. Never tried living in it but I imagine it would be very possible. I hit a motel about every third or fourth day to shower and sleep in a real bed. I’m 73, BTW.

Thanks I have a Prius c and need to take a better look at it.

... but the real question is: How do you put on your flannel pjs in a Walmart parking lot without anyone noticing?

Memory foam works good as well

Your video is incredible showing 2 or 3bways to do things 🎉. Thank you

Wow...

Has anyone here ever noticed a whining noise coming from the engine compartment after a couple of hours of sleeping in the car? The last two times I slept in mine, it made a low volume whining noise. If so, what did you do to stop it?

How do you get air in there when I used to sleep in my Honda element and get really too humid or too stuffy but if I open the windows I'd be attacked by bugs specially mosquitoes

Great info! If u invest in anything, make a comfortable bed! Thick blankets are good for a day or 2 to see how it goes camping. Prius is too uneven in the back for a bed surface.

I wish you had mentioned which Prius you have AND did the seats fold down FLAT? I'm finding that not all Prius will be flat --- I don't know which one to buy. I just want to search for the right Prius to buy...

Do you have the link for mattress?

What is it like living like this with a dog? What are the pros? Is it inconvenient anyway? Where does the dog sleep? Does it ever throw off your stealth mode? How do you reduce hair everywhere? What are other cons?

You have some excellent ideas and very practical ones when you mentioned the tripod stick , it can also be the walking sticks that extend and a monopod, it will be what I will use. Bravo good thoughts. Thank you, and cheers. 👍👍

Good ideas. Stay safe.

Im 6'5" and 240. Will this work for me?

Nice! I just bought a 2022 Prius. I am not likely to ever live out of it or camp long-term, so I'd never make any permanent changes. But I love seeing what everyone else is doing and how they go about camping or living in their Prius, just so that I know what is possible. I like simplicity, so I like what you've got going on.

I lived in my Prius for 2 months last summer and I absolutely enjoyed it! My setup is very similar to yours, I have an REI Camp Bed which is a self-inflating 25" sleeping pad, very thick and warm, and makes no noise. I took the headrest off and placed 3 organizing boxes in the area to make it even. My kitchen items go in there. I also like to crawl in and out from the driver's seat. Makes a big difference when I was sleeping in parking lots LOL!

Are you able to run the AC with your battery while u are sleeping ???

Thank! I want try this to go visit my daughter. The builds and equipment I've seen were too much $ and effort to do. Thank you for keeping it basic and real world.💖

how tall you are? great job

Prius is the best cuz it is one of the most reliable cars and also has climate control so you dont need to invest in a 50k worth of batteries to get 24/7 AC or even drill holes in the ceiling to install fans. For solo travelers I think the space inside is more than enough.

Rear seats of Prius folds flat, this is another thing, why you don’t need to build up. Very convenient.

For me folding down the rear seat leaves a very uneven rise in the floor, way to uneven for me. What l decided to do was remove the bottom of the rear seat (no tools), it just pops out. You can use the area where the seat was for a little extra storage, which also allows you to raise the back of the seat higher to make it more flush with the rest of the rear floor. While not perfect, it will give you a lot flatter sleeping surface, plus the bottom seat section pops back in as easy as it came out.

Has anyone tried sleeping in front seat? I have 2007 Prius and it’s not bad.

Head Light on seat headrest: 👍

great!

Thanks for sharing! Great tips! I like your acrobatics from the front to rear seats and back. Especially if I'm at a truck stop. I'm about your size a bit older, but also a former gymnast so it's doable. I like the tripod trick for the brake peddle. The dog blanket sling is great, I will try similar since I sew too, but will lean to buying one if the dog version is all I want it to do. I like it better than building a platform out of wood. The headlight on the headrest is smart too, I must have three laying around too! Happy Prius travels!

Thx for the tips

Good job adapting your Prius for car camping. I'm 64 but while watching your vid I really believe that a Prius is such an ideal car for a young adult such as yourself. It's economical, gets great MPG, has Toyota reliability, and as you and other Prius owners have demonstrated on KZbin, it is a highly versatile car. When a friend and I drove in his Prius to a 100-mile bicycling event, we loaded BOTH of our road bikes into the Prius' rear compartment and didn't even have to remove any of our wheels! Because my wife and I plan to do more road trips in our car, and I need my car to cart around synthesizers, amps, and also our bikes when we go out for recreational rides, I just bought a new Subaru Forester Premium. The MPG is nothing like the Prius, but I'm banking that I will still own my Subaru in 2035 when no more gas-powered cars will be sold in California. When that happens and if I need a new car, I think the infrastructure and I will both be ready for an electric car. Cheers!

Of all the SUV Camper set up videos I've watched - and I've watched MANY - FINALLY someone shows how to get into the sleep area in their setup. BRAVO and THANKS!!

I painted the roof of my silver prius bright white. It dropped the temps about 20 degrees while parked in the mid day sun.

Be sure to not cover the battery cooling air intake. It's located near the door jamb on the rear passenger side door. If it gets covered by a blanket or something while driving, the battery will overheat.... dog hair will also clog it and even collect in the fan... you might spend an hour cleaning it.

Great information👍🏻

Damn 5''9 145. You a little spinner huh?

When you put the back seat down, there are plastic pieces (from the seat belts sticking out). How do you deal with that? Would you recommend a wood platform or putting foam around the pieces, to level the whole back area?

Thanks I wanna get one those sleeping mats for the prius I plan on driving next week

You're good

Your audio is crappy. It's not audible at all. You need not be office like quiet

Nice video. That was always my idea also. Just get things as you need them and make due with what you have. I have an 07 Prius and sleep in it driving from OK to FL. Seeing your dog looking at you while making the video is cute. I had a ferret as my traveling companion on a few trips. Fun adventures. I'll try out that app you mentioned. Thanks.

Hey I'm a little late to this video but just bought a Prius and am planning on taking it up to Arches in July to stealth camp for a couple nights. Did you have an ok time finding places to park?
