Gord on the road
Добавлен 28 июл 2014
I'm starting a year-long roadtrip in my 2010 prius that I converted into a camper. Come along for the ride.
How I built a HARDWIRED electrical system in my Prius camper conversion #TinyCamper #carlife
I added a dedicated hardwired electrical system to my Prius camper conversion. It includes an AC and USB outlet in the front, and another in the back. It can charge from the car, from solar or rapid charge from a 1000W inverter connected to the hybrid system.

How I turned my prius camper is a 1000W AC GENERATOR on wheels #Carlife #TinyCamper
Просмотров 31921 день назад
I turned my 2010 Toyota Prius into a generator to rapid charge my lithium by installing a 1000W inverter to the hybrid electric system. This is not for beginners and is for entertainment purposes only, I do not recommend doing this without significant training in electrical work, the voltages can be very dangerous!

How I removed the passenger seat in my Prius camper and installed a countertop! #CarLife #TinyCamper

In this video I show you how I removed my front seat without disabling the airbag system, and how I built a storage cabinet in its place! This is for entertainment purposes only, I don't recommend doing this if you are not an expert in car mechanics.

How I added cabinets AND a bookshelf to my Prius camper. #TinyCamper! #Carlife

I installed cabinets and even a bookshelf in the back of my Toyota Prius that I converted into a tiny camper. Living out of such a small space like a car requires organisation, and clutter can drive you crazy. Now, all my daily use gear is organised, let me show you how I did it.

I like what you did with that power inverter! I may have to build a specific Prius camper this in mind. Don’t worry about the video quality. The important thing is that you’re putting information onto RUclips that will help other Prius enthusiasts.
Thanks for the kind words!
Another great video thanks. I’d defo do same and fix a power station in one location
Hi Gord, new subscriber here. I’ve watched several of your videos and I’m hoping that your channel grows because it looks like the content is very useful and informative.
@@livingsimplytosimplylive6817 wow! you're too kind!
Nice video... I got an inverter for Xmas to do this with my Prius 🙂 But the inverter I bought wasn't a pure sine wave. I still can't decide which inverter to buy. I'm wanting a 2000w to be able to use it for more in the future...
@@Brock79Nice. Careful though, like I said in the video, the Prius only has 1400 w available in its 12V system and the car needs some of that to run. So, you won't get 2000w. Though if you have a different year or trim double check the specs, it might be different.
@@EcoEvoExile I heard it was about 1800 watts? I have a 2014. There's a company that makes inverters specifically for the Prius. I can't seem to find that video anymore.
Excellent video not seen install where it’s used to charge a power station but great idea thanks for sgaring
I removed my 2013 Prius' front passenger seat for awhile but used the area for storage and it became sort of a pit for stuff, and I ended up putting the seat back in and putting the Alpicool refrigerator in the front passenger footwell area and the microwave on a plastic cabinet on the seat. I shut down the airbag and seatbelt (when weight on seat) warnings from disconnecting the seat connectors by changing the Prius' settings using a wireless ODB2 car diagnostic connector linked to an app (called Dr. Prius?) that I downloaded to my iPhone, which also reduced the reverse beeping to just one beep. The information in your video on using resistors to simulate the connections I had not seen before, and it is good to learn something new. I like the way you used CAD (cardboard aided design) (disclaimer: I stole this joke from Bob Wells). I added your channel's video to my Prius Campers and Dwellers playlist: ruclips.net/p/PLx8nx9rsDPRH02-xB8_ubt2tX-_bsj5Lo
Dang. I can't hear it :(
Yeah sorry, I filmed this with bad equipment and cleaning up the very bad audio cost a lot of volume. Try turning up your computer volume, not just RUclips volume?
This is really cool. Did you just have the Prius or did you get it for this?
@@AapVanDieKaap Thanks! I had it. I was looking into van builds, but couldn't afford it. Then I stumbled upon other Prius campers on RUclips and realized I could give that a go.
@@EcoEvoExile Please keep up the content! You have a nice chilled vibe which is very enjoyable.
Just letting you know your audio recording is very quiet, I need to turn my computer volume and video volume to 100% to hear you
@@vsg915 thanks for the feedback. Old footage with bad mics, I was also pretty bummed when I got around to editing. I have better equipment now.
How many miles does your car have on it?
100k
exciting!
@@BubbaStaines thanks!
Great video thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
I have 2012 prius i've been thinking about carcamping and this is exciting to see
@@BubbaStaines just do it! Start by folding the seats and going somewhere local, it's easy. Then you can do more and more if you're having fun. :)
Brill stuff just found ur channel and subbed
Helpful video, thanks. Audio needs adjustment tho.
Adjustment!? It's a disaster. I agree! I did the best I could in post, and I have some better equipment now. I'll do better in the future, thanks for letting me know!
What type of mattress did you go with? It looks like a roll up memory foam. I use a 4" trifold but I'm always looking to see if there's something better. Thank you
Yep, it's 4 inches of memory foam that rolls up. Though I leave it out permanently. I believe it is a standard cot sized mattress, something like 25" wide. I can get you a link if you want.
Great build! Thanks for sharing!
