    Don’t know how I stumbled upon this but loved every second of it !
    I converted my Prius into a camper but now that I know it can tow the opportunities are endless.

      ​@@soilliamthank you for this video... You mentioned 30mpg towing the Aliner back home... Since you have rebuilt the trailer and carrying water..
      Are you still getting 30mpg or less..?

    I moved all my stuff from Baton Rouge to Morgan City Louisiana. IDK how many trips I took. After that I jumped the snake river high on crack toting a machine gun.

    Watching this in January 2023, you know what, with the upgraded 200 horsepower, the new 2023 Prius will tow most small campers fine fine fine. Even better, the Prius Prime with 220 horsepower and a 12 kwh battery in it? with a little mod, imagine it, it will be perfect.

    • @soilliam

    Killer video Will, first tow video I’ve seen with a real camper…what was your average mpg? I have a small Coleman pop up that I’ll eventually drag out of the garage and hookup to my Prius.

    This video is a tad freaky, but informative….
    I’m planning on getting an A-liner but with a bathroom….
    However, I’m going to get a Prius V which is the biggest version of the Prius you can get.
    Which A-liner did you get?
    Did you make any modifications to it?
    Hope you’re enjoying your A-liner
