Hey everyone! Long time, no see!
For the past two-ish months, we’ve been on a road trip; starting in New York, and ending in Anchorage, Alaska. We recorded this video back in May, and thought we’d upload it now to show you how we’ve been able to utilize our car space for extra storage, even though it’s a tiny two-door Toyota Yaris. If you follow us on other social media sites, you know that we’ve put a hold on vlogging, which means that we didn’t record this road trip. It’s been a much needed break, and we’ve really enjoyed just being together and, of course, spending time with a few different friends.

I just bought a 2010 black Toyota Yaris Hatchback. I intend to do this to head out west from OH to meet up with Bob Wells nomad group. I will have a dog & 2 cats with me. Main concern is there being enough room for all to be comfortable. I’ve had it with paying ridiculous rent, of working like a slave just to pay rent & apt bills. It’s just wrong. Not paying rent will allow me to save fairly quickly to get a bigger vehicle to live in comfortably. I’m a girl w no building skills or tools. No dad or boyfriend. So it’s pretty daunting & a freak out. Being told that taking out seats is absolutely necessary but then forget about reselling it. That seems unwise to me but being told it’s the only way. That would be a big hit as I paid way too much for this Yaris due to Covid. I can’t imagine just eating all that money. as it’s needed to help get the bigger van or whatever. Yaris is very mech sound. Who do I trust to help me without getting ripped off? Should I get a tent for more room in good weather? I feel afraid of some murderers getting me in a tent. How are you powering your electric needs? And heat? A Jackery or like that? I lDid you say solarr? Sorry for such a long winded post but I’m thinking you guys have the answers by now. Take care.

Hi Greg! We slept in a tent when we would camp, and we also stayed in a lot of hotels along the way too. We also planned our trip around where friends and family lived, so we stayed with other people in a few states.

@mysticmeadowshomestead6209 5 жыл бұрын

Like your free-spirit. Hope your trip went well. Not sure I agree with your full-sized tire buy as it put a large object in your way. Donut tire was neatly stored and can travel a lot miles, enough to get regular tire patched. You didn't show what you used the 'trunk' space for when the donut tire was removed. Like your enthusiasm. Does a car-top carrier work on a Yaris? Would love to see a follow-up review video to evaluate what was worth the time/expense and why or why not. What you would've done differently, if anything. I also have this model of Yaris - honestly, I could never afford the $50 two drawer Container Store item. I don't have the skills to do all the woodwork. Would plastic storage bins have replaced the need for the fitted plywood platform? So yeah, I'd like to see a critique video to know what worked out and what was worth the $$. Thanks.

@RealWorldTravelers 5 жыл бұрын

Hey, @Mystic Meadows Homestead! Thank for watching. :) The only reason why we decided against the donut was because we were going on the Alaska Highway, and we wanted to have a full sized tire just in case. The trunk space ended up holding some tools that we brought along, but we never actually needed them, so we never got into that area. As for making this for yourself, I know that there are plenty of ways to save money - you could always find cheaper containers - this is just what we chose for ours. We're also lucky that Caleb's dad was able to help us with the woodwork. We're still contemplating whether or not we're going to make an update video about our setup, but hopefully we'll find the time to do it!
