I agree the 4" tri-fold memory foam mattress is very comfortable & convenient based on its ability to fold into a 25" x 25" x 12" that fits behind the back seat when it's folded up & in the 60% side when sleeping on it, perfect!

Right now I use my '08 Honda Odyssey to camp at music festivals and this spring I intend on branching out on more and longer adventures. I've been following you and a few others and become inspired to get out there. On another note, I was wondering what your take was on the new Prius Prime. Thanks - Jim PS...Keep the Videos coming

I like your "just for me" expressions that remind people that your way doesn't have to be everybody's way. Thanks for sharing.

Rusty- nice setup; very minimalistic. I like the plywood at the head of the mattress which create a kind of cubby hole. I might use that for my setup, but I think I will also make it double as a table with adjustable legs that hangs out the back of the Prius, attached to the rear tie downs using a couple of carabiners. Thanks!

I believe on the passenger side, I would remove that seat and leave it at the camper. Then either get one of those walmart plastic 3 drawer units and sit in there or build some sort of storage unit that would fit the area, and then a basket in the floor up under the dash area. With what little you haul, that would pretty much free up the entire back area for personal space.

Has Prius ever considered fold flat passenger seat? Many cars have the feature now. Would really be valuable. Also, I've read that the Prius will run the AC overnight while parked (and off) for about a gallon of Gas? Is this true and how often does the engine turn on if fully charged?

bugsoc.com sells window screens for car doors. They're kind of expensive but they stay on better than the magnetic ones: high winds and no one can just come up and pull them off. They're a must for camping in the skeeter zones.

Why does nobody do the one single thing that will easily add a vast amount of capacity and space to even the interior of a small car...? And that's take.....out.....the front....passenger.......seat. Just do yourselves a favor, remove the four bolts that hold that seat in place, and put it in storage somewhere. The front passenger seat police aren't going to come after you, and how often do you have passengers anyway? It's taking up a huge amount of otherwise useable space. I know. How do you think I as an upstart pressure washer, was able to haul around a 4 gpm pressure washer as well as all the rest of my stuff in a 2006 Hyundia Accent? Ok, well there ya go. Just take out the damn front seat already. In all these "living in a car" vids, no one really uses the front passenger seat for anything anyway.
