Did you know you can live in a Prius?

[@YackYum]

These videos of people taking vehicles you'd never expect for overlanding and creating something epic out of it are the best videos. Sprinters/Transits are cool n all but this is where its at! God bless you Black Jimmy Neutron.

Mine is way better and way cheaper 😂. I got full body workout, hot shower inside, washer and dryer inside, 24" tv inside, cooking pot inside, real refrigerator accessible from the inside without going out, sleeps 2 inside, and can still give 5 people ride as if it hasn't been modified. Yup. My video here is old, I got to make a newer video. My inverter is 1500 watts and I also got a powerful projector. I can also stand inside my Prius but I'm only 5" 6 lol.

People who dont own a Prius, have no idea what they’re missing besides the low gas consumption. Mine has powered my home and kitchen during power outtages, now I use it to power small stages for music events. Such a versatile car. Great design.

@@bozersgal I think the main battery charges the 12 volt. So if you add an inverter you have a hybrid gas generator.

We just met Duane over the weekend to pick up rear springs for my Pri. He’s a sweetheart!! He is a busy bee, but if you can pin him down and meet him in person, he gives you his full attention and truly is a wealth of knowledge. We first saw him in Hollywood last year and I’ve been overlanding my Prius ever since. Love his business, he’s got it dialed in. My booty has been lifted and I will probably do a video tour of my 2008 Gen 2 Prius soon. Namaste

You have everything you need. Well thought out. Amazing. I just had my 2012, 40K miles Transit connect delivered this morning. It was a great price and sold my 2017 Kia that payed for it. I am a little claustrophobic so i need something bigger than car. The Transit is small, but for 1 person it's perfect.The electric in the Prius is a plus I am sure.

[@belavet]

I have been driving a gen 2 prius for about 16 years; it was my mothers car that I drove out of high school and now drive daily for work since she retired. My question for you is, have you ever dealt with snow? Our gen 2 prius loaded down with nothing but me and maybe another passenger is like a pig in mud. I can even get the low traction dash light on some very light gravel on top of blacktop. If you hit the tiniest of potholes, you feel it slip. Its got 210k on it now and has been a very reliable and fuel efficient car. So I can totally understand the attraction to it when driving around the country. Just curious how it handles in less optimal conditions, is all.

I'm 6'1'' did this for a couple months on a road trip in my Prius with my dog. doable but a little cramped tbh. gas mileage does help outweigh some of the negatives. would rather have a more spacious build in a truck bed and have a bicycle to get around when rooted into a location.

This dude is a fucking legend. I did a couple of month long trips to the west coast with a buddy out of a matrix. It works, and saves gas as long as you got it setup right. For those of you who run commuter cars and want to get into it, the absolute best first purchase you can make is a rear hatchback tent, mines called "La Duta" it was like 60 buck on amazon and expands living space inside the car by 2 feet, and keeps the bugs out/cool air flowing through your vehicle.
