I just found out my Camry Hybrid will Keep me Warm and As well as the Air conditioner to stay cool as As Well. Overnight. This is a wonderful benefit to our Hybrids and its only about a $1. Or $2 all night. Awesome Mine runs the enjoin about every 20 minutes and stays on 45 seconds to recharge the Battery 🔋 so this is awesome. 👏 I am watching a movie on my iPad it’s also charging through the usb I am so thankful because this is a larger car and has a large truck so it will be great to sleep at a truck stop on a road trip and I won’t need a hotel if I can get comfortable and I am sure I can

Get a tow hitch and a cargo platform you are going to carry your ice chest and extra gear outside the car. Rather than a dowel rod you can use a shower curtain rod it is adjustable and can be found at yard sale or other places I got one for $2 used. You need to carry a bucket and a new hollow accordion plunger carefully cut a hole in the top half of the handle you can allow air to flow through and cover the hole to draw water into and really wash your clothes. Make sure you wash around 10 min or at least let them soak 10 and adjtate for a couple minutes. you can wash clothes with this and use a clothes spinner to remove most the water. These cost under $100 amazon they will save you tons of time and money. Sure you clothes will still be damp but hung out a couple hours you got clean clothes. If you stay on top of your laundry you will not have much to hang.

A cautionary tale: thankfully this involves hydrogen peroxide (which, as an aside, I would opt for carrying on-board, rather than bleach)… several years ago I would clean my toothbrush by letting it sit in a small glass of hydrogen peroxide. Just as in this vid, I inappropriately used a drinking vessel (the same cup that I would use to rinse my mouth with after brushing). I had removed the toothbrush, and not emptied the cup. A while later I came by thinking it was water and SWIGGED IT DOWN THE HATCH! I knocked it back so fast I didn’t notice any smell before doing so. It was only after I drank it that I realized! 😩😩😩Fortunately, it was a tiny amount (and I’m not 100% sure now, but may have been diluted with a little bit of water), but I still made a hasty phone call to the poison control center!!!! Fortunately they didn’t think that small amount would be an issue. When substituting a toxic product in a normal vessel, I recommend using a red or orange vessel, or at the very least writing A poison warning in indelible felt pen and taping over it so there’s no way that the writing can come off.

Does anybody know what might happen in the event of an auto accident if you're not actually residing in the permanent address you included in the insurance policy? Despite making payments on time (full coverage) I fear that the insurance company might discover that I've been living in a Prius "down by the river" and not in the permanent address where I was previously renting a room. Would the insurance company therefore have any legal grounds for denying a claim? I'm planning on "Hotel Priusing" it for a few months in the same State (WA) the car is registered and insured in. I can't find any definitive answers online. Feedback would be much appreciated. Thanks!
