This is AWESOME! I am only 14, but when I get older I want to road trip across the US. These videos have shown me the coolest way to do it. I can't wait.

I live in a 1 car garage that I rent for $80 a month from this one lady, it has room for my fridge,microwave,bed, and plenty of storage. It's safe because it's in a back alleyway and literally right around the corner is a grocery store, laundromat, a gym (where I shower and bathroom) and about 1000 feet away from that is a target and Home Depot. I like the life I live

After all these videos I can't wslk past a Prius without wondering if someone's living in it😄

I'm living in a 2007 VW Passat wagon and I can't even begin to tell you how great a roof box is!! It frees up so much space in the cabin and let's you be more covert while on the road. The roof box, a Thule Mountaineer I got for $200 on Craigslist, freed up so much space that I was able to fit a twin sized memory foam mattress in the trunk. It folds down with the rear seats and makes sleeping so enjoyable. I also found that side curtains are a must. It allows you to sleep in well lit areas like Walmart without a problem. Pro tip though. If you do decide to sleep in a Walmart parking lot for extended periods of time become friendly with at least on employee that way management stays chill about you being there.

Just wanna say I used this vid as inspo for my car set up and I've had almost 4 successful months living in my Mazda5 :D

After I viewed Vid-1, I was not sure your completed set-up would be comfortable nor properly thought out. Viewed Vid-2 and I was totally surprised how well planned out; useful; with little bit room to spare. TOTALLY GREAT JOB THANKS FOR SHARING

Walmart sells a pretty thin retractable rod with grippy rubber tips in the same aisle's as their blackout curtains. They're about $4 for the retractable rod, you unscrew it in one direction to lengthen it, then you can just push it with a bit of spring-tension into between whatever two places you want (in this case, between the two panels behind the front seats. Throw on a blackout curtain (they sell the single-panel ones for a few bucks) that you can do a bit of cutting on to size to remove excess, and it's a very quick and cheap solution out of Walmart. It won't be perfect, and in some cases you might want to do a bit of extra gluing/sewing to modify the top that goes around the rod to get more light sealed out between the roof and the rod, but this mostly will depend on how the curtain itself is constructed with its holes to go onto the rod.

"There's a frood who really knows where his towel is." Thanks for the setup walkthrough. Thinking about getting a Prius up here in AK so I can turn it into a little miniRV for weekend trips with malady.

Just bought my first Prius only 2 weeks ago! Gen 2. Love saying “Hotel Prius”!

I almost thought this was Shia LeBouf

This is awesome. Sometimes I sleep in my Prius just for fun and I even have an apartment

15 months living in my Prius. A couple of ideas to consider: Induction stove and induction pressure cooker much better then propane and you can cook inside. Black towels with button holes hung on hooks for curtains and multi use. Soft bags instead of hard plastic boxes are much more versatile. Get an expensive backpacking mattress. Well made windows screens are a must. Great start! Now get ride of half of that stuff! :)

I just love how neat, clean and organized your car is. And besides, its cute!

Although it may appear "cramped", a Prius is VERY fuel/cost efficient and is also like a mobile battery. One can use electric convection stovetop and charge their devices and the Prius battery is extremely efficient and cost effective when using an inverter.

Man continue filming you're awesome!!!

Wow I'm really impressed. No clutter.

I will "Go ahead'n" give this a thumbs up. 😜

Really nice and professional. And cheap way. Don't forget that filming and demonstration was excellent. Thank u.

Wow, when I saw the first video, I didn't think you could actually all of that stuff in there and not be super cramped but you did. Great demonstration.

You are the most sexiest minimalist, I am humbled by your lifestyle & impressed with your ingenuity... thank you for enlightening me.

Very nice. You have got your living situation down well, very neat and organized. Thanks for sharing. I own a 2012 Prius

Great idea and organized

WOW.. Awesome setup.. love it..

Love it ! Nice job . I take my daughters Prius camping every chance I get ...

Thanks for some clever ideas to add to my list. You have a neat, complete set-up going.

and i thought MY car is too small. Youve proven the opposite. keep going and thanks for the upload!

love your video.. awesome set up..

Love all your tips and tricks, my Rottweiler Vivcea and I are heading next winter from Florida to MI, out to Wash state, soutbtomborder mexico, back I-10 to Fl, about a month, going to take our time, with 130lbpuppy,,,, great video, thanks Sharing 🙏👍🙂👋

Chris, I hope you're well. I'm here from buzzfeed I had to search you out to see if you had your own channel. Very nice and efficient set up, looks like you've got everything you need in a tight, neat space. Good luck...

You're the best! Was actually looking for car camping when I came upon your video and I must say for a first timer like myself it was straight to the point and very informative.....I had to subscribe. Thx.

great video. great detail!

this is amazing. simply.

Great video. I really like the organization. Thank you sharing this.

Superb job!!!!! Thank you for sharing!!!!

I have a Prius C and I'm so inspired by what you've done! I'm gonna set mine up too. Thank you for all the detail. I hope your journey is awesome...please make some more videos! :)

please post more videos. it look so cool to live like that. with the best for you.

Very informative! Thank you for all the great ideas.

Sweet setup!

Great video, thanks for your time and creativity,

Such a fun video! I love my prius (same color/model as yours). I also had the same ikea comforter when I was in high school. I lived out of a subaru in New Zealand for a month and had a lot of same trick as you. We were a little more haphazard about it, but we used clothes as our curtains- certainly less classy. Thanks for all the fun tips!

thanks for these, they are most helpful

Awesome vid....learned a lot....thank u

Nice video and great idea for a channel. I just bought a prius today and I already love it. Keep up the videos man :D

Brilliant! 👏🏻

Fantastic!

Thank you for sharing

I love this video! You make it seem so simple, I think I could do it!

I love the pillow case for curtain.

awesome videos luv u n ur adventures!!!😙😊

Great idea and great info, I have seen your video many times, I like the minimalist way plus the possibility to save money and travel the world,

Great video. Creative. I have a Prius and they are great cars.

Wow that’s amazing

Great video, wish I'd seen it while homeless and living in my Camry. My Camry isn't a hatchback but the back seats let down and opens up into the trunk I would have been much more comfortable with the tips in your video. I may try it anyway just to see how it turns out. I'm a camper too so it doesn't take much of an excuse. Thank you, Margaret

So many great tips. I like the way you used the containers to provide support for part of the bed and still have access to storage. The rigid older suitcase is genius as a work surface/lap top table, and clothing storage too. Nothing gets mashed and wrinkled. So many good ideas that it's hard to enumerate everything. Don't know if you plan to cook inside but I'd be concerned with doing that. Like you said, it's good to have some healthy snacks for those times when you can't cook. Today, I watched a video of a guy "cooking" his steel cut oats in a thermos. Of course it took some time and you had to heat the water but, it was an alternative to standing at the stove and stiring. I have a hot pot. It's a way to heat (with elect) some water to make coffee, tea, and maybe something like that. I have a 110 outlet in my car. Wouldn't do to run it for long, but I think the Prius has a charging system for even when you're not driving, right? Anyway, good video. Thanks for posting. I have a tip you might like. To hold your comforter, etc. in place, you can get a fitted bed sheet and use a bungie system of some sort to hold it tight on the back side. Sort of like holding a cover on an ironing board. or suspenders.... Well, Just an idea! I love the pillow case curtains/rod solution. OK, anyway, cool video. Here's the guy cooking in the thermos. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q8dpnbxnxJy3iYU.html

Wow its amazing how much space we actually need to live in, great use of a small space. Awesome video thanks for sharing :)

get a sunshade for the front and cut blackout insulation for the windows, much better than curtains imo

Brilliant !!

Really good video ! Covering so much and I really love your color scheme ;). ..but really, it's so nice when the car doesn't look trashy and dirty.

great ideas...

great vid.... you're totally right.... I use the system approach, living in my motorhome... yeah I have more space, but it's still restricted compared to an appartment. thanks man....J

Good ideas.

The best videos so far. Live your organization. I only wish you were in a Toyota RAV4 (2015) so I could do exactly what you would do. Just love you!

I find this fascinating, intriguing and ingenious! You are so well organized, prepared....and down right cute! Seriously, even if one were not planning on living out of their car, these tips can be helpful for self preparedness. I wonder what your back story is as to why you are doing this? Thanks for the info.

You are so darn clever! Love all your ideas but the weekly vitamin container for spices👍🏽

enjoyed your video. I admired what you did with your space. also enjoyed that you expressed yourself without using profanity. happy traveling.

This is good for getting inspiration and ideas but to do it your way.

Very informative. Thanks. You're like my son-in-law, bright, detailed, planful, his motto is, "Be prepared for the worst but have a good time." As you demonstrated how you put your bed together, I thought, "they could be twins." Jason was in the "airborne section of our Army," and he had a knack for folding parachutes. Over time, his buddies saw that his parachutes never failed, so they always made sure they chose one of Jason's. Put the other parachute folders out of business, I mean, what can commanders do if their troops aren't using the parachutes from other parachute folders? So, folding parachutes became Jason's sole duty. And, 'NOT ONE Parachute failed during his tour of active duty. Maybe if you're not making enough money, or need a little discretionary money, find a regional parachute field and 'learn how to fold parachutes, it's good money. And, if you're anything like my son-in-law, you'll learn it quickly and accurately--and, you can still 'travel. Airfields will get to know you, 'Hey, here's that guy, he'll be around for three months, let's hire him." ~~~~~~~ Create a circuit. Why am I suggesting this? I'm in H.R. and in Vocational/Employment; I'm trained to 'translate "skills and ability" into 'tangible options of employment for 'anyone.

You are the boss!

I have to ask a few random questions: Are you working while doing this? What if you need a couple grand for an unexpected car repair etc? What did you do with your apartment/house stuff? TV, clothes, furniture etc? How much does it cost per week for gas, food, etc etc ? I have a 2006 and am curious about breaking away for a while. Tired of working mindless jobs while making everyone else $$ Thanks!

Very helpful Thanks

I have a Prius too! Ive been considering shipping it to HI and living in my car as I don't have the funds to buy and renovate a van. This just inspired me to do go ahead and do it! Can't wait to start preparing :)

Very well done....excellent video sir. I just read your blog at #Hotel Prius and I must say I am very impressed. I wish more people would do this way of life so they wouldn't be in so much credit card debt. I previously thought that living in a small car would be impossible, but you proved me wrong. Keep up the good work and keep spreading the word!

Just found you on KZfaq absolutely sorry you lost all your stuff , but I’m gonna learn from that. Awesome videos thank you so much.

Awesome video :D I like your well thought out living space :D

Hope You All The best dude

Ty bro good job

Very nice neat!!!😊☮️🌺

👍 Awesome.

he needs to make more videossssss

I GOTTA HOTEL PRIUS TOO I LOVE IT SOOOO MYCH!!!

nice video man, and your a nutter...love it

Okay..... I like it.

thank you, thank you, thank you :)

Great idea for when the next recession hits

Trifold memory foam mattress works better than a blow up. By at Amazon. About 4” thick.

awesome ideas man. I was planning on starting my travel adventures next year in a trailer however watching your video with great ideas, I've decided to turn my suv into a small home. Thanks so much. oh and sorry you got all your camera gear stolen. that sucks

Hedge against b&e rent a storage unit. Clears a lot of stuff out your way too. I use to tow a runaway camper idk what a storage facility would charge for storing that but I shopped parking downtown NOLA It's affordable compared to any other rental.

Can you show how the table sets up for the grill?

Make more videod

When you hit the key fob accidentally at 2:07. Good job fighting the decepticons!

I thought you were Shia La Bouf. Haha. Great set up.

if you can pour molten wax in quart metal screw top cans and put them in your engine compartment to melt again. Bring them into your car at night to help stay warm. I think one could build their own front seat with storage or even wax heat storage from your engine coolent. as long as you keep the seat so when you sell the car.

I may have missed it somewhere...but do you keep a cooler for other foods? This is the absolute BEST video I've seen yet and I will be outfitting my car soon in a similar fashion. Thank you SO much! Subscribed!

We need an update!

Great video - what do you do about ventilation / condensation ?

OM Allah. You have a Great one. ❤❤❤❤❤

I am deeply sorry to hear that you were broken into and had so much of your important stuff stolen. The people who did this probably just fenced it for drugs, and threw the rest away. This is a despicable act. sanjosemike

i can only aspire to be this hip

Your cool af

U got on buzzfeed!!
