This is an excellent summary, from a guy who really knows what he is doing. I'm pretty experienced at car camping, but the one thing I did forget to do, is have a second person to test whether the door-handle entry works, in the exact situations (regarding locks and car ignition) that I sleep in it. It will be crazy if I find out that I slept 2 nights per week for years, in a casino parking lot if someone could just open my door by, well, opening my door. While Faraday bags are all the rage now, some are not as good as just using an Altoids or cookie tin, according to reviews where after being used for a while, the flexing of the bag compromises the thin shielding layer that sometimes isn't very different from PopTarts package material.
I did this for many months last year in my '14 Prius V while waiting for an apartment I wanted to come open. . I'm 6' 3" and fit fine on a 4' 3-fold memory foam mattress. Visited 19 states, I think it was. Mostly around the Great Lakes because I hadn't been there before. Very minimalist; no fridge or fancy set up. Stayed mostly at Cracker Barrels, ate salads and such from Walmart, too. Walked a whole lot. Did camp a couple of places; the Meriwether Lewis Campground on the Natchez Trace, and the Toledo Bend Dam in TX. Both were free for multiple days. Happy trail , ya'll!.
Well organized/presented. I have my Prius V already set up but I like to see how right I was - and that I probably can’t get it better. Didn’t know about the key fob issue though. Thanks for that tidbit.
Outstanding video! Thanks for the many useful tips!
Love the vid, greatest i have ever watched. Can you pls cover the topic of how to select good condition Prius ? Tx .
That would be very helpful.
