💸 How I LIVE in a TOYOTA PRIUS - LIVE EASY: Sleeping in a Car Full Time

[@lesliecastro4916]

Currently living my car because it soul calling and learning so much about myself about the earth we live in. My relationship has never been stronger than ever , and I’m grateful to have this postive mind set I am in , sometimes it can get little stressful or doubtful of times because people have a their own opinion on how they look at living situation but honestly it’s blessing in disguise. I’m alive , I’m healthy and I have everything that I need and much more.

Most people would never consider someone can/would sleep in the back of a Prius and most folks aren’t tall enough to really notice it’s a solar panel. People that have often think it’s to help power the vehicle. 😂

@@LiveEasy they defeat their whole purpose, their purpose is to be economically friendly yes? but as soon as the electric engine dies and the backup engine kicks in, theyll put off more pollution than a v8 and they still have the decency to sell em for $10-15k they arent actually an electric car, theyre technically a hybrid

[@LiveEasy]

Thanks for responding. Economically friendly? Yeah, it cut my gas/travel costs in half. Since owning it I’ve saved around $6000. Of course it’s a hybrid and not a full electric vehicle. They’ve been around since the 90s. Who is claiming differently? What you said about them polluting as much as a V8 is simply wrong. Do you really believe that? Are you attempting to reference the immediately debunked, yet highly viral, article about a Prius being worse for the planet than a Hummer? It was so obviously flawed in their data that the publication retracted it.

[@coltonwilkie2904]

I’m a high school student and I’ve been living an old 99 Toyota corolla with my dad for almost 8 months and I’ve had to deal with the “Boy Scout” of the neighborhood and very paranoid people many many times and seeing someone know how it feels makes me feel better and this video is Very relatable especially with the want to keep things safe and just not be bothered by nosey people who are quick to judge and call the police. The hardest part of this is going to school cause I get tons of looks when people see the blankets but at the end of the day I am so thankful to have been going through this and summers are the best cause you can travel and really enjoy it as much as you can. Awesome vid

[@coltonwilkie2904]

Klaiel Lordez I have a job and I have worked with him for years and almost all my money has gone to him give or take some money for food here and there but no I have been working for him for years in order to save and he just spends it on other things so I don’t appreciate you assuming I’m lazy without knowing the whole story. Very rude

[@klaiellordez2054]

Colton Wilkie Did you actually read what I said, they were assuming not me, I guess the problem was is that I added the lazy part with all of you instead of just your parents and that’s why you got mad. I was basically trying to make a point but it was not a definite point, that is why I told them you all probably save and have jobs and that is why you may live that way. I am not rude, I was defending your situation but I get it now your just a typical selfish person and you don’t mind people trash talking your parents as long as it’s not you, well some people are a reflection of their parents.

I imagine their jobs are something that's online because i can't see someone always on the move and having a job that isn't online. I guess it determines what job you have for this to be a viable option. I do really enjoy seeing these videos because it proves the "I can't afford this/ i need more money" people wrong in a way... It's all about budgeting and living out of a vehicle is budgeting at it's extreme imo. No electricity bills (unless you're driving a Prius), Gas bills literally boil down to your car and if you built yourself a kitchen then how often you buy a propane tank. Internet bills would be far lower as i imagine you would be using free wifi hot-spots and your mobile plan internet majority of the time

kinda forced to live in a vehicle now. My first choice is a Prius. While I do have a home and my family lives with me. The biggest issue is I am 21 and all the work is two hours away in another town. (Small town america am I right?) So not only do I have to drive two hours to work two jobs and go to school. I also have to sleep in my vehicle so I dont swerve around and kill myself or someone else. My obvious choice is to get another vehicle to stay in. I have the money, the funds, the time, and a location. All I need is to convert the vehicle for part time living. The prius seems the best choice because of fuel and its cooling/heating options. Most people will say "GET A APARTMENT LOL" but why would I? It would just be a major drain on what money I have. I would barely use it with my busy schedule other then to sleep or eat a few meals. I don't want to be tied down with all those bills, I have a home I live in that my family uses. (inherited) why should I just drain away my money that could be used to fund for school? Im playing it smart here as I can get.

[@FormulatedButterCoping]

I lived out of a car for 5 months and then a large cargo van for 9 months. The cargo van with a cage was much better for privacy although when sleeping in a car and you get cold, you turn on the engine and run the heat and then go back to sleep. I have housing now. These KZbin videos had an impact on my decision to try this lifestyle. To be honest, I found the whole fucking thing to be depressing and you know you are living on the wrong side of the law since there are cops out at night looking for people to mess with. They say you do not know what you have until it is gone. Having heat at night, a toilet to use, running water and even a sink to spit your toothpaste after brushing your teeth are wonderful things to have. I can only speak from my experience.

[@LiveEasy]

It’s cool that you gave it a try! I had my share of depressing days on the road too, but when I had a purpose and a healthy routine it was great.

[@VicodinElmo]

I mean this in the nicest way possible but I’d just like to point out the need to be super organised is NOT OCD. I’m not offended because, frankly, I have pretty thick skin but lots of people talk about “having OCD” but all they’re doing is trivialising the condition. It’s distressing to live with genuine OCD. The risk of suicide is higher and substance abuse is common. When you have legit OCD, you only engage in specific actions as a way to stop something terrible (bearing in mind this terrible thing is usually completely fabricated in your head) from happening. Just for the sake of education, here’s an example: Switching a light on and off three times when you enter a room because it’s a habit - not OCD Switching a light on and off three times when you enter a room because you’re terrified that a murderer will be encouraged to enter and kill you if you don’t - more likely to be OCD Being organised for the sake of it and because it looks pretty - not OCD Being organised so that you are prepared for the apocalypse and want to make sure that you can grab everything you need at a moment’s notice - more likely to be OCD Having intrusive thoughts about your partner engaging in sexual acts (maybe even somebody from their past) and abusing substances or asking questions about her past to help “cope” with the images - likely to be OCD Quadruple checking that your house windows are locked because if you don’t lock it, your cat might escape and get hit by a car - likely to be OCD Hoarding personal possessions due to a fear of losing your identity if you give up or sell the things you own - likely to be OCD OCD can be horrendously destructive to one’s psyche. I know you didn’t mean anything by it but, as someone that suffers with it, I just want to get as much education out there as possible so that next time someone says it, they stop and reassess. Best wishes to you :)

[@hulkhatepunybanner]

+Lucas Williams I'm sorry to tell you but switching a light on/off a specific amount of times before one enters/exits a room IS obsessive compulsive. What you're calling a habit is actually OCD. Being organized is NOT OCD. However, if items are moved and one immediately places them back to their original locations (accompanied by stress) OCD would likely be the diagnosis. Doing any of the above because one thinks they'll be murdered or there's a coming apocalypse, it's probably schizophrenia or bipolar disorder.

Re: "Nobody is going to pull you over for having perforated vinyl on your windows": 1) I'm not a cop but to me that looks way sketchier than tinted windows. If you put some kind of ad on it then it looks professional, but having blank perforated vinyl on your car makes me wonder what you're so desperate to hide. 2) That perforated vinyl is most likely going to fail the same tests that cops do for window tint, which just measures the percentage of light that can pass through the windows. 3) Window tint laws only apply to cars being registered in the state in question, not to cars passing through from out of state. So you really only have to worry about the laws for the state in which it's registered. I do like the perforated vinyl overall, but I don't think it makes the car any less conspicuous to cops or passerbys.

[@ericaferguson7169]

And maybe a little extra revenue coming in from endorsements, products advertising painted on that white perforated vinyl

A difference of opinion about if vinyl is sketchy is fine, but you're wrong about window tint laws. In some states, yeah, they'll consider the state where the car is registered, but that leniency varies based on the state. Some states do (not surprisingly) expect you to follow their laws, so my point of using this to eliminate the concern stands. Additionally, this solution is in contrast to putting reflective material or cardboard up in the window, as so many people do when sleeping in a car. No one is going to say vinyl looks more sketchy than something that's obviously makeshift. You know what else would fail the light transmission tests? Non-perforated vinyl. Meaning you can't see out of it nor in. Non-perforated vinyl is legal, so there's definitely no problem with perf.

[@GamingwithIinfected]

A state cannot enforce their tint laws when you vehicle is not registered in their state. A judge will throw it out in court it’s the same principle as some states requiring front plates and dual plate state will not give you a ticket for not having a single plate when your resident state does not

[@occipitalneuralgia2339]

[@EricHillAuthor]

Man, this was awesome! I own a Prius. Never would've crossed my mind that this tiny car could become so "large." Super cool!

[@LiveEasy]

Thanks Eric. Yeah our cars are so good that people have to make up ridiculous or inaccurate reasons to hate them.

[@EricHillAuthor]

So true. But we're the one's passing by them as they fill up their cars at the gas station.

[@LiveEasy]

I am actually planning to do a video that is a response to Prius haters. I have heard people say that it pollutes more than a hummer, that the fuel economy is exaggerated and actually worse than comparable gas vehicles, and that if you drive one you are a feminine gay extreme liberal who drives horribly and virtue signals to everyone around them about how they are saving the planet. 🤔

[@EricHillAuthor]

Ha, ha, ha. I wasn't trying to save the planet when I purchased my Prius. After owning a Ford Explorer, I was trying to save some cash by being able to pass by as many gas stations as I could without stopping. As far as exaggerating gas mileage, I was getting 48-50 mpg when I first purchased it. That was eight years ago. I probably get around 45 or so mpg now. I think this is because of my driving habits. When I first got the car, I paid attention to how my driving may be influencing the mpg. Now I don't pay attention. But I'm still passing by a lot of gas stations. As for being feminine, gay, extremely liberal. I'm pretty sure I don't qualify. You mentioned getting exceptional wear out of your brake pads. Honestly, I thought I was being negligent because I have 98,000 miles and I'm on the same pads. I had the dealership check them with my last oil change. They said, "Nope, you don't need pads. Still good." These folks can talk about my Prius all they want. It has been nothing but outstanding. I love it!

That storage box being mounted outside of the car is too obvious. Somebody will find a way to steal that just because they may think there's something valuable inside. However, everything is by the far the best setup I've seen on KZbin.

Quantay Peoples Thanks! Stealing the box would not be an easy task unless they brought a couple wrenches. More likely they’ll just pry it open like what happened in Dallas, but I don’t keep anything very interesting in there.

I’ve been living out of my car going on my 3rd year, you still need a PO Box or a home address to get any type of insurance or registration in most states.. Otherwise you won’t be going anywhere. Because living out of your car ,,you will be harassed by police. Whether you like it or not. In my three years I have had about 8 or 9 police encounters.. Me I don’t go all over the country, i live in MesaPhoenix az In the summertime it’s the worst 115 everday and 90 all night you will not be able to sleep without AC, Which means you may have to run your vehicle which means extra cost with gas , and stress on car itself... Me I sleep sitting in driver seat ,,,Just use a few pillows you’ll be fine... I actually went to a few hotels along the way ,,, very difficult to sleep on the bed now I’m so used to sleeping so sitting partially up... and wait to you get emergencies my car had 50,000 miles on it and it was seven years old so I had no warranty left,, My engine just blew last week, Now I’m sleeping in a rental car, My other car sitting in a parking lot ,, where I sleep every night , I’m currently waiting for the engine to get shipped which cost about 1,100 just for the used engine, And you need to have it installed by ASE certified mechanic to get their 5 year warranty,, Install will be about 1,800 probably in another two weeks I’ll have my car back,, Meanwhile it cost me about 3,000 Between the rental car and engine swap... mind you I took care of this vehicle like a baby..i use public wifi everyday free ,, i dont own a phone,,, The scary thing is now I’m jobless during COVID-19, and no Government check of any kind for me,,,,,Anyone wish to help me can contact me [e-mail] I could use a job or just talk .

[@christophS2468]

Very nice setup! You should be able to run a small electric cooler such as a Dometic in your current setup. It would obviously depend on where and when you are in sunlight and you battery size but the 100w panel would be enough to run such a cooler 24/7. No more ice and no more mess. If you drive a lot you can also charge your battery with an small inverter plus smart charger (about $100 total) that will refill your house battery at a rate of about 4amp/hour and if you ever motel it or stay with friends you can use the charger to condition the battery and run the cooler over night. Don't cheap out and get a piezo-electric cooler (under $100) as they use much more power and don't cool as well. A real compressor cooler ($400+) is much more efficient. Will pay for itself after maybe 100 bags of ice and so much food that does not get warm and ruined. Be careful charging any lead-acid battery (including AGM) inside the cabin while the car is not driven and therefore ventilated. I have done 3 trips through Canada and Alaska with a similar setup (Prius V) in the last 3 years but of course camping in low-population areas is quite different than full-time living in your car and willing to stay in cities.

get a decent class B campervan. yes, the mpg is less, but there's always a tradeoff. you are getting a proper restroom, kitchen stove/refrigerator and more room for eating/sleeping. also buy a honda cub motobike so you can travel quickly around town without wasting much gas. mount the honda cub motobike in the rear of the campervan

[@LiveEasy]

Sounds great. And expensive. And a parking nightmare.

[@a552bcx]

Live Easy class B campervan can be parked in a normal parking space. class C is the the one you can't park in a normal parking space. yes, it's more expensive per month, but not by much. there's always tradeoff to everything

[@LiveEasy]

I didn’t mean expensive in terms of per month. I meant to buy a camper and a motorbike would be expensive. I used a Prius not because I think it’s best, but because I already owned one and it was paid off.

[@a552bcx]

Live Easy a honda cub is considered a scooter and can be bought used for as little as $500 or less (it's also light too). a used class B campervan from 1995-2000 can be bought for $10,000 or less with less than 100,000 miles.
