It always surprises me that so many people don’t know about Leave No Trace. I’m Australian so maybe it’s more commonly taught here. But typically the main rule is “Take only photos, leave only footprints.”

Great video Miss Nikki. In my Prius V setup, I have converted my stove to electric plus a 700 watt microwave. Use a shower tent with a solar bucked to heat water. No TP, just baby wipes. Baby wipes for everything. Vinegar for dish washing plus disinfecting my water. You can also get premade screens from a company out of England. Also use a portable Teardrop Awning for the back to cook under or just hang out. I removed all the seats except driver and put the bed on the floor from the dash to the main battery pack, more room in the back. I put the Engel 40 quart fridge next to the bed behind the driver's seat. (very little draw). I added an extra 12 volt battery that is wired in parallel to the other Toyota battery which gives me 90 amp hrs of storage, all hooked into a 2000 watt pure sinewave inverter. At night, I run the AC/Heater on low fan and use a USB fan to circulate the air. I use about 1/2 gallon of fuel a day. Basically, I watched every Prius Camping/Living video out there and just took all the best things that worked for me. Comfort plus fuel efficiency. 👍

Please be careful with using vinegar to clean. While it can kill some bacteria, it is not a disinfectant and is not safe or reliable to use to disinfect water. Even on objects, it has to sit on the surface for several minutes before any bacteria is reduced. If you camp often or live on the road, please seriously consider getting a water filter.

Tip for super cooling a standard cooler. If a Yeti is out of your price range or you are going to be in areas where a Yeti would attract attention or get stolen, you can super chill a standard cooler with a couple things from the hardware store. Most coolers have insulation on the sides, but the lid is hollow. You lose a lot of cold through the lid. Pick a cooler that you can pop the lid off. Drill two small holes in the back of the lid where the lid attaches to the cooler. Get a can of Great Stuff expanding foam. You may or may not need a whole can, so plan this project with a friend to do their cooler or fill any gaps around the house with the leftovers. It's just hard to reopen the can after you've used it once. Do this outside and have newspaper or paper bags to lay under the lid if needed. Insert the straw and spray the foam slowly into one hole just until it starts to come out the other. This foam will expand to fill the whole lid. Let it cure overnight and there should be a bubble of foam over the holes if you did it right. Trim the excess off and clean up the outside. This is why you don't want to drill holes in the inside of the cooler where your food will be exposed to it - it's impossible to seal it up at this point. So pick a spot in the back that's easily concealed. While you wait for the lid to dry, you need some Reflectix bubble foil and foil tape. Measure and cut a liner with a fold over lid that fits perfectly into the cooler. Basically you are going for a flat fold box type shape with the corners cut out. Use those to do covers for your small windows! Use the foil tape to put the liner together inside the cooler so it fits perfectly. Then pull it out and do the tape over the seams on the outside. So with the liner in place and the foam filled lid, I've had ice last days longer than just the cooler alone. You can pull it out to rinse it off and the liner won't absorb water. I pull mine out of the cooler every few days to let the cooler air out. I hope someone finds this helpful.

The air gap in the lid is a better insulator than the foam you are shoving in the lid. This has been proven time and time again by KZbinrs. It is unfortunate that this is the top comment.

I was traveling last month and saw these nice ppl. Started chatting with them. Apparently their car was wrecked by a deer and it is in the shop for 8 days : while the 4 of them sleep at a gas station outside during 45 degree nights with no jackets. The difference between them and I: I have full coverage insurance, rental, road side and monies for a hotel. They only had liability insurance so they were out Please get good insurance with all the bells and whistles if your living in your car or away from home Rental and Roadside is only an extra 30 bucks Hotel is tricky bc some require a few hundred dollar deposit, some only accept card or cash. And one time I needed a hotel and the cheapest one was 250 😞 Then there is a cab fee. But what will you do if you wreck at 9pm... where will you go Safety first 😀

Nikki, If I may give you one little trick, easy affordable how to have hot water on the road as long you are in warm climate. I saw that your roof top as a lot of space available for you.Taking a black PVC 5 inch pipe of around 5 to 6 feet with two end cap install a tire valve in one end and a faucet on the other, do not forget also in one of the end to install a other faucet to refill the water. The black pipe as you travel will warm up the water into the pipe, using your little compressor pressurize the pipe 10 to maybe 20 pound (experiment) at all time you will have warm to how water that whit a quick disconnect be equip from a shower head to a hose to your bucket to clean dishes. It should not be expensive to fabricated and could be easily attach to you car rack and voila. If it is something you would like to make just had a reply to this post and I will draw the instruction for you to easily make it... I hope this could help you in the wounder full life you have chosen to have with Camper. The entire cost of the build should should not cost maybe $30.00 using you tire compressor you already have... Hoo you could have two of them one drinking water and one wash but after a little wild the water will taste plastic so make sure to refill regularly... Good trip and will look to se if you replay to some sort a way post on my youtube how to do it for you and anyone who would be interested Thanks

I have seen online some people use a special type of tent (can't remember what it's called) that they attach to the back of their car when opening the boot giving them more space at the back when stopping. It also looks really cool from the inside.

Great video. Doing this with my honda civic hatchback. Got a foldable memory foam mattress so when I use my tent i can also use it for that. Never have done this yet, going to take a nap at a rest area on my way to West Virginia then use my tent for 3 nights and then may try it again on the way home at a river side hipcamp.

Good stuff and advise, looks pretty comfy to me!! One thing you mentioned but is important based on other video's i've watched is a quality tire repair kit. Kit's from wally world can work, better one's with metal handles on the jungle store as well book sized air compressors are much better(save some coin), i don't venture anywhere too far without them. Thanks so much for sharing, Cheers, Happy Trails!

All those things are good to have, me being prior service and being a Field Sanitation NCO. I learned a lot about "leaving no traces," when it goes to digging soakage pits and other things when out in the field. I'm starting my car journey in December, yeah it's crazy that I'm starting out in a cold month lol.

Very informative. Just bought the pop up tent from Amazon, used but like new for $35. Steal. A lot of the things you have I’ve found at thrift stores. Except the yeti. I would flip if I found 1 at a thrift store. The mesh window coverings are brilliant. Thanks for the video. Safe travels.

Instead of a duffle, I use latching footlocker style tool boxes. They compress my folded clothes and people think they're ironed out something. I set my mattress diagonal to first, fit, second to balance the driving load. Picked up a great set at Walmart made by hart for like 120$. Doubles as a table for one, and a shelf for the other
