I've never used a gallon of gas in below 0 weather in my Prius. Perhaps 2 night maybe a gallon of gas. You get use to the engine starting and stopping. I'm at 8,0000 feet right now and all I do is crack the window and set the temperature between 68 and 70. The Prius does the rest! I've been in...

Toyota prices are inflated but I think as far as reliability goes I would go with Toyota. I'm in the market for a Tundra and I make sure the timing belts are chains. I feel like an Uplander would nickle and dime you to death. Toyota and Chevy parts are available everywhere. Good luck whatever...

There's really no comparison. Go Toyota.

I have a Prius V and can set the temperature in my car and it will stay that temperature all night. I've slept in blizzards and temperatures in the 90's. The engine will start to charge the main battery but will turn off after about 30 seconds. It starts more frequently when you use the heater...

I use black out curtains in my Prius. They worked excellent this past winter in temperatures as low as 0 degrees. I know nothing about the plastic wrap.

I've been living in my car since December and I would say the most important thing is a comfortable bed, because if you can't sleep well you'll be miserable.

I'm 6 feet and it sounds like you rode in a V. There's no need to take out the front seat. I can stretch out in the back seat and not hit the hatch with my legs. It's nice being able to have the ability to have the heat or ac option.

The windshield is four figures!

I picked up a 1992 Fleetwood Bounder diesel pusher with a 5.9 Cummings engine and a 4 speed Allison Transmission. The previous owner ha it since 1995. It has an Onan 6.5 and a new Atwood water heater. I already replaced the toilet and tightened down all the pipe fittings. I don't know if I'll...

I have a Kodiak 9x8. It's had 4 inches of snow on it twice and has been thru some severe winds and the tent is a beast. I spent the extra dollars because I know it'll be the last tent I ever buy.

I had at least 8 job offers from the Coolworks website. I'm currently living in Bryce Canyon Utah as a seasonal worker. I'm the first car camper ever up here. I got the job off of Coolworks.

I sleep in my car I don't live in my car!

I've been in Bryce Canyon since April 1st. I bought a Kodiak tent and it's been through severe windstorms and has had 4 inches of snow on it twice. I car camp in my Prius but my tent is used for kicking back and keeping my supplies in in it for now. The one thing that is a common thread around...

I bought an Alpicool as my first refrigerator and wasn't impressed and ended up giving it away to a lady who really needed one. Engle was having a sale on the 40 quart so I bought it direct from them. The refrigerator is great. I plugged it in and in 30 minutes it could've frozen food. The...

You should check and see what the recommended roof weight is. I know on my Prius the only thing I could put on the roof was maybe a car carrier.

My plywood is bare. I never smelled any fumes. Sometimes over thinking is the enemy. If you go full time I guarantee you your setup will not look the same in 6 months.

I full time in my Prius. I started with a 2" tri fold mattress but my ribs were killing me in the morning, so to make a long story short I have 6 inches of memory foam on top of my tri fold mattress.I've had 3 back surgeries and a knee surgery. Comfort is everything!

I had an Alpicool and I wasn't particularly impressed with it so I gave lt to a fellow camper in need. I ordered an Engle 40 quart from Engle direct that was on sale. I full-time so I try and buy the best trouble free products. HDR and others have convinced me to spend more on a quality product...

I'm the first car camper ever in Bryce Canyon. It took a lot of convincing, but now they know it can be done I might be able to hook you up with a job. Coolworks.com is the best!

I'm a workamper in Bryce Canyon and all rv's up here have electric. I have electric and I'm in my Prius! I travel with the weather. I do better in cooler climates.  I've been on the road for 6 months and haven't had to use my air conditioner yet. Almost every workamper up here has either dogs or...
