How to sleep in the back of a Prius laying flat | Prius Camping

While making videos about living in my Prius while traveling, I was asked so many times how I could fit in the back to sleep. Can you lay flat? I hope this puts those concerns to bed--no pun intended.

*** Here are some items I used ***

WINDOWS

REAR STORAGE

ROOF STORAGE/SOLAR

I did this in a Kia forte in 2018. I’m 6 foot 6. I had a blowup mattress in the back and would just curl up for the night. I still camp in places you can barely get away with overnight parking. Definitely have an advantage

Nice setup!
I'm 5'8" and have a '16 RAV4. I took rear seats out, built a 40"×40" platform (for storage underneath) and sleep on driver side. Have BougeRV 12v fridge and Bluetti power supply next to me behind the passenger seat.
Curtains all around.

Never have had the dreaded 2am knock. (So far! 😆)

I’ve noticed a guy living in my condo parking lot. Idgaf. He doesn’t cause problems and cleans up after himself. I only noticed him because I like to look out the window like I’m a cat or something. It’s super common for cars to not move for days or to move multiple times a day so Idt people really take note of cars (there are 12 buildings too lots of cars). There’s also a planet fitness 5 minutes away. 😂

i have a 2014 prius plug in and I did some experimentation camping in my car in the woods for the weekend (to see how it would hold up for future endeavors) I am 5'11 as well and what I did was pretty much the same thing with the cooler to prop my head up, but I got a self inflating 3 inch sleeping pad, aligned it slightly diagonally, and just used the left over spaces on the side to store my 3 duffel bags, a backpack, all my lights and walkie talkie station. I had so much left over storage space in the front passenger seat foot well, as well as one of the rear sides of the passenger seats as well. its perfect for mini minimalistic glamping in the summer time because I can charge the car and run the AC all day long. Only thing that sucks is that its ideal for just laying down only, "sitting up" in the car is not possible for more than an hour before you lose feeling in everything, and it it just hurts.

[draytoo]

You do know the front seats lay flat too right?

[jeambapt]

Is that a solar panel you have on top ?

[scottdurkee]

But they don’t notice the solar panel on top ?

[MANPREET_GILL]

I am 6.3 and i can sleep straight if i put my legs in the middle of both front seats 😂

"what are you 5ft tall?"
yes....

[youngimages]

How does your Prius carry all that weight?
It’s a 4-cylinder engine, no?
These tiny engines can’t take the thousands of travel miles a year plus running the engine AND battery for day to day parked and winter :-/

How do you have sex in a car like that if your living in it and sleeping in it
