I enjoyed watching your Prius V build in my Prius V camper. In my experience, using an electric heater and thermostat like you did is much more efficient than using the engine coolant method. I've been compiling a Prius Dweller Campers playlist. There are a lot of innovative ideas out there.
Wow, Doug, if you decide to post or publish your Prius Playlist, I’d love it if you might share the link. I can’t count how many times I thought I’d remember where I saw the tip trick or hack on you tube videos. Now, a month or so away from heading out, I’m scrambling to figure things out! Happy December to all, and to Lex, I hope you’re in warmer climates!!
Thanks for sharing the playlist! I currently own a 2013 Prius and have looked into converting it into something I can camp in/travel long distance. However, seeing the dual sunroof and extra room in this Prius V makes me think maybe I should trade in for a Prius V. However, I really prefer the interior design of the regular Prius better, especially the dash and entertainment system. What are your thoughts on using a 2013 Prius vs a 2013 Prius V for camping etc? Thanks in advance! @@dougt8215
man...u r a real handy man! I have a 2016 Prius and don't know where to take it to do a custom build because im not handy at all! U should start a Prius Converter Camper business and ill be your first customer! Believe me! Theres a lot of Prius owners like myself who wants to convert it but dont have the tools or skills to build it and would rather pay someone with the right skills!
I highly suggest you put dark black fabric on the outside of the window covers. If you get the windows tinted dark, then it will just look like you have extra dark window tint, when people see it from the outside, at night. The reflective insulation is a dead give away that you are sleeping in there
In my Prime, I have reflectix on one side, black cloth on the other side. Black is better for stealth, but reflectix is necessary in hot weather during the day. Just swap sides of the car to change color.
Love that qoute at the end, absolutely agree. Great video loved it. Amazing work u put into that build. I havent seen a lot of PriusV buils on YT so this was a real treat getting to see your build and the journey it took you, thanks.
The extra battery is brilliant, I've camped in my prius c (A little bit smaller than V) and was awakened by the engine constantly kicking in to power the heater
The extra battery is mainly to handle a larger inverter load. If you engine kicks in too often, you are losing power somewhere or your hybrid battery is at the end of its life
I wouldn't say it was kicking in too often, but just enough to keep me from falling asleep 😂 Would you say the engine kicks in less frequently with your setup than using the standard heating system?@@LexBuildAdventures
I just got a V yesterday and am looking forward to getting on the road for more adventures. I have a roadtrek but the fuel consumption is prohibitive for to much long drive adventures.
In your more section please add a list and detail of (and if you can Watts they use) all the gear you have, like Battery, Inverter, refrig, Microwave, crockpot, coffee maker, etc:
Very cool build. That said, I have a few ideas that may work. 1. It would be interesting to put some type of suction cup bulb on the roof of the Prius where you could store a tarp in there and then fold it out to completely cover it. That would help out with insulation in the snow and you could just pull off all the snow when you're ready to go. You may also be able to weight down the ends. 2. Heating is a challenge because it takes a lot of energy. That's why direct contact heating is far superior. I would recommend using carbon fiber heating elements, sometimes of which are found in vests or jackets. They will keep you warm without an issue and are often USB. You could also use direct contact for cooling with a Peltier device. 3. I don't know how I feel about the battery and the inverter setup. I have been seeing gigantic power station (2.2kWh, 2000w continuous, and 4000 watts peak) for $630 USD at times. They have pass through power and can charge via solar up to 500w. They can have multiple USB outlets and plenty of USB ports. I would recommend LiFePO4 chemistry as those last the longest, but are more expensive. It could take up far less space than a battery and inverter and all the wires as it would be self-contained and more organized. These also have 12v DC output. 4. You may be able to create a window mount where you have a HEPA filter on it, a fan to pull air through it, and then a slider that you can open and close with a removeable maget from the inside. You could also remove the window mount/filter/fan combo completely to shut the window and just run AC. Add a tube on the fan to direct airflow. This could also help to keep the battery cool in the car when it's hot outside. Those are some ideas I have and may try out myself. Hope they help!
some interesting ideas :) I do currently have a heated vested and a heated blanket, which I used at times. I used AGM as a battery because it is the default chemistry in the prius. To use LifePo4, you would need to have a separate dc to dc charger for it. I bought all the equipment to do this, but have not gotten around to it yet. I did consider window mounted air circulation, but decided to just hardwire into the prius existing hvac fan so that I can run it off my house battery, instead of having the prius turned on. This way I can run it all night, get filtered outside in with all windows closed. I think its the best option for rainy days and stealth.
@@LexBuildAdventures That is good to hear about the vest and blanket. As for the battery, I meant to say I think the best option is to just get a large power station. Some power stations are 2kWh, LiFePo4 for longevity and more charging cycles, can recharge via solar panels, can output 12v DC, have tons of USB ports and wall adapters that can output 2000w continuous and 4000w peaks, and can do passthrough power when charging. Specifically, I have had experience with the Topshak TS-PS2000 (power station), which I wish was LiFePo4, but has been enough of a beast to power off grid easily. It's also quite compact and powerful for the size. I found some at $630 a while back, but they are not around at that price anymore. In terms of solar panels, I have thought of creating a drawer type roof rack system to slide out an extra solar panel to each side for maximizing power. I have seen some 450w solar panels for $250 ea. You could also plug in a battery tender to the power station to ensure the car 12v battery is properly charged as well. Other than that, I think running your car HVAC fans indepedently is more effective than window mounted circulation, especially with activated carbon and HEPA air filters.
@@oa5828 Power stations are great, but with one major down side. They all have very low power dc to dc charging. They max out around 10 amps. This is why for any vehicle application I advocate for DIY systems, since charging from the vehicle I think is very important and should not be limited to 10amps. I purchased a renogy 50amp mppt+dc to dc charger instead that ill be setting up with my lifepo4 battery and inverter.
@@oa5828 I am also coordinating with a manufacturer over the last few months to design a roll out solar panel that can sit on your roof in a cylinder which you pull out and get anywhere from 400-800watts, plus an awning :D
@@LexBuildAdventuresMr AZ thank you for the dialog chain.. I learned much.. as for the renogy 50 amp DC to DC charger... The Prius can handle 50 amps? Since the Prius doesnt have an alternator.. the onboard inverter can handle that capacity? Any updates on the roll out solar cylinder?
Just got a tap and die set off of Ebay at a decent price...after watching your video I think I will store it under the back seat, as 90% of my bolt and thread work seems to be automobile related.
Awesome 👌 except 4me, instead of that HUMONGOUS chest fridge, I prefer a smaller upright one and room 4a toilet. I did see one that sits on the passenger seat and secures 2the seat belt. With limited space I would go 4 that one if I can't fit in.my cassette toilet. One divider between the smaller fridge and another behind the driver's seat with a hanging bar/pipe across, and I have some hanging space 4a few pretty 👗! I LOVE the 2 skylights. 👌🙂
How it works? You have connected another 12V battery to car battery and both to the inverter? 🤔 Is it safe? How you control that you don’t deplete battery when you are cooking? Car charge both of them when you drive?
Yes, I connected a much higher capacity battery (same chemistry) as the stock battery, in parallel. Its perfectly fine if set up correctly. It does not deplete when cooking because the built in Prius charger outputs 100amps to charge the 12v battery, which is more than enough for most cooking circumstances. As long as the car is on, the battery should not deplete.
Where will you add the swimming pool😉….. but jokes aside, you should use only a 100 watt heater. Prius is a small place to heat, and your batteries will last much longer.
I had that problem when i left my camper sitting on my farm while i backpack travelled for a bit, when i got back there was mouse poop in it, had to do a big cleaning, never had problems outside that. But I heard irish spring soap bars work.
@@LexBuildAdventures Even any regular 2004-2022 Prius fits a 75x25x4 trifold mattress (mine is a grey Olee, price jumps between $55 to $125 on Amazon) if you move the front passenger seat forward a good amount. In my 17 Prius Prime, I put a 50 liter fridge (clone of CX50, with luggage handle and wheels removed, and raised up a bit to clear the center console) under my pillow and jam th epassenger seat back against that, allowing a person up to about 5'8" to still be a passenger.comfortably. CX30 would keep the bed level, the CX40 and CX50 prop it up how I like. Most fridge shapes do not fit on the floor behind the seats, it took me maybe 50 man hours to figure out which ones did. Many fridge measurements are incorrect, but I was able to track down accurate dimensions for many.
Love this video. I'm planning to do the same thing this weekend, maybe I'll make a video about it. Question: Have you considered installing the passenger seat backwards? And potentially deleting it entirely? That'd free up a bunch of room and give you a more comfortable place to sit.
I've used it with a passenger too many times to justify deleting it. I am rebuilding it from scratch this week with a design that will allow me to lay it down fully flat when I'm not using it
Be careful about turning around any passenger seat with an airbag on the door side of the seat. You don't want it to punch the driver in the head. So, you'd have to deal with at least disconnecting it, then the issues that might cause with warnings, etc.
Great video. What year is your Prius V? And trim/package level? I see yours has the moon roof, do you lose any headroom in the front or rear? I've seen certain models not many that have a solar panel built in. Is that to charge the car or battery. Or is it for other purposes
2014 and it's got the upgraded sounds system and heated seats so maybe the 3 or 4? I'm not sure. Nope i actually gained head room by moving the battery.
The solar panel on 4th gen i think is just to run a fan to exhaust cabin heat when parked. The latest one i think actually charges the battery but very little per day
I tried so many configurations, the problem was the vent fan. I checked with the lithium battery manufacturer and they said its needed and i cant delete it, but i dont know if that was for liability reasons since i assume lifepo4 batteries have a much higher c raiting and wont over heat. But i kept it and had to mount it back there for space as a result.

Since '78 I have only bought toyotas; they've been too reliable to consider buying anything else. However, a problem i experienced on 2 corollas were hubcaps that just wouldn't stay on - i see this was also an issue for the prius V. ... such a stupid thing for Toyota to cheap-out on.
Mine only came with steel rims hehe, I would like to upgrade my rims to the aluminum alloy ones if I find them second hand, but I wouldn't bother with the hub caps
@@LexBuildAdventures Still have my 03 Matrix. I gave up replacing them with Toyota caps as they fell off (so yeah, no point in doing that). Aftermarket caps might work (hold on) better, but i just bought inexpensive (but new) alloys when i got new tires years ago. Thanks for this video, I'm going to make a sleeping platform in my 04 Prius soon.
