I recently purchased a 08 Prius; I have driven hundreds of cars through my life and this one is about bulletproof as far as reliability: and simplicity! I also had a thunderstorm take power out from Wednesday till Monday morning: and I slept in the Prius because it was so humid and hot in the summer in Michigan…. Yeah I was comfortable in my air-conditioned Prius all night

[@ronclose7460]

Love the tour or your Prius,I also own a Prius just started to explore the idea of touring the USofA in my car due to cost of gas,lodging, eating out,and the fact that I am living on social (in)security .This opens a completely new way of travel see ya on The road again.

Thank you!!! It's been great, tho a van would be nice someday, if I ever have $$$

[@AJK0119]

Such useful content! Only note is the AC and charging power in a hybrid does runoff the 12v battery not the hybrid, but when that runs out the hybrid battery starts the car which then charges the 12v battery. Which does use some gas. Obviously much less than a typical car since it's not running all the time! I was really confused about this and spent some time researching haha. Happy hybrid traveling!

[@boobtubeakatv1296]

NOPE... Sorry to correct your thinking... The Prius AC does run strictly off only the hybrid battery pack and not the 12 volt... The 12 volt only handles the fan that blows the air... Also, being there is NO Alternator nor Starter in a Prius, ALL charging and starts are provided by the hybrid system only.... The 12 volt only handles accessories & the computers.. Enjoy a Peaceful Day ;)

[@charlesharris2749]

@@boobtubeakatv1296 not only that, but as I found out the hard way, the hybrid battery starts the car, not the 12 volt.... my 12volt died and I replaced it before I found out I needn't be is such hurry, because if I put my foot on the brake then released for 2 min... or some such voodoo, I don't exactly recall, the hybrid battery will start the car.

[@Lino1989]

Thanks for the video. I’ve contemplated getting a Prius to live in also because the MPG is so great & it is still big enough to sleep in. Still renting but sick of paying & do miss adventuring/exploring. I’m reaching out to other ppl who live in their vehicles & asking friends for potential overnight parking/stay in vehicle spaces. My main option I’m exploring is the Toyota Previa. Love the style & think it’s a good starter van. Someone in my area specializes in them & fixes them up to re-sale for affordable prices. Best of luck to you & your adventures!

Nice, cheap and simple, I like your setup. I would probably get a small picnic table and chair with it to make it easier to prepare food and eat, or maybe some sort of a roll out table from the trunk where your backpacks are, but other than that, I would probably follow your setup, esp. the pantry opening system is really well thought and organized.

I'd also need my bike, a toilet, and a large tent with screen or rainproof walls to hang out in when I wasn't hiking, biking or climbing. Already have the mondo thermarest and concur it's very comfy.

Sorry I thought I responded to this!!! I laid newspaper against the windows and traced the shape of the glass with a sharpie and then used the newspaper as a template to cut the reflectix. I suggest to air on the side of leaving them too big during the first cut because you can always cut more off but ya can't put it back on haha

Im about to be living out of my 2008 prius. Excited and nervous. I lived out of a dodge avenger before, there was 2 of us living in there. but itll be just me in the prius so im excited to have all the room and can make an actual little bed and everything. I have been debating on whether or not to get like an extra chargeable power supply because I am in online college and I will probably be on my laptop majority of the time I am not at work. and of course keeping my phone charged is important to me.

[@madhavananda2711]

Great way to go, exactly what I have in mind. Obviously the main inconvenience is toilet & shower, perhaps more of a challenge during these pandemic days.

[@Nev4]

It's true, a lot of the convenient places I would stop to use a bathroom are now closed, and I often shower at gyms, some of which are also closed. However I've been spending the summer in Lander Wyoming, and there's almost no cases here, so things are pretty much back to normal 👍👍👍

[@maxblum554]

Amazin video! Can you tell me the height of the back seats when flipped down? So I know what size of boxes I need to create a flat surface. Thanks!

[@Nev4]

I actually have noooo idea because a year later I removed the seats and bins entirely and build a proper storage/bed frame in the back. I’ll post a video soon. But my recommendations is to lay your seats down, tape measure the height, and keep in mind you can always stack some wood underneath the bin to raise it up to proper height.

[@stoptheviolence3358]

The seats in the Prius kinda go all the way back so you can lay down comfortably and the seats in the back lay completely flat for comfortable lay down room . He’s on point

Nice setup! Where do you park when you’re ready to go to sleep? Rest stop? Also, how did you get the reflectix to stay in place in all the windows and back trunk?

[@Nev4]

I sleep in hotel parking lots, rest stops, Walmarts, best buys, friends house, city parks, etc. the reflectix in the side windows stayed unsupported for a long time but eventually got too soft and now I use magnets. In the back I used a few dowel rods to make a grid pattern and tht holds great!

U r funny. Good video , like ur set up. I ckd the mattress out but its self inflating....isn't that a lot of money for something that could break and not inflate ?

[@susie9893]

Reviews seem mixed on this mattress. Some ppl swear by it, others complain of punctures. But I've not read anyone dissing the comfort. My understanding is that it's part padding, part self-inflating, so even if it does puncture, while you won't be as comfortable, you won't be flat on the ground either. Also I've heard that it can be patched effectively with a tire patch kit (which most car campers carry anyway)

If you had a bit more money, would you consider a larger Toyota hybrid like a RAV4 or a highlander? I have my eye on a 2020 or 2021 highlander hybrid limited since it also has a. 110 1500 watt outlet. I’m older, retired and need a bit more space and better ground clearance than a Prius.

[@Nev4]

If I had enough money I'd do a proper sprinter van all day. Until I have that much, sticking with the Prius. For space, consider a roof rack.

Most important thing is to get a sleeping set up that you can tolerate. Since it’s only one summer, you don’t need to do anything super crazy to your car. Summer is great, not as cold at night, you can sleep with the windows cracked to avoid crazy condensation, you can download apps like ioverlander to help get you started with finding places to fill up water and park at night, although I never use the app anymore because it’s just second nature. Final piece of advice, you don’t need a perfect plan in place before you start. Just start and you’ll figure it out! Cheers!
