So I don't have much experience with electrical stuff at this point, but I'll get there. I've read up a few blogs but get confused as to what is what. I live in my Prius in the city while working a full time job. Currently the only electrical things I have is a laptop and cell phone (a spare battery that can also be charged.). I might get a fridge of some sort in the future, but I don't really have any strong feelings on it to be honest. Heating is not an issue as I can use the the Prius for heat at very little cost each night in gas. I'm also not sure if I'll have other thoughts in the future as far as electrical needs.

What suggestions would you amazing people have for an electrical setup in a 2007 Prius, with the possibility of having a small fridge in the future (though this is unlikely, but just in case.)? I figured before I delve into anything, I can slowly buy the components I need and maybe with a little help from friends, get something setup for a little peace of mind.

Also in the future I'll be trading in for a newest Prius once the 2007 starts to break down (Still runs pretty good after 10 years). So a electrical setup that could be transferred from one vehicle to another is a sure bet.

My Prius power has migrated over my first 2 years on the road and now again for my 2017 travels.

This is where I started off with a house battery for my Prius Campervan

This is how I ran things off the Prius 12 volt battery in "Ready Mode" (this is unchanged since I started my travels)

Here is my current Prius house battery upgrade to LiFePo4

For me it was key to be able to stealth at night and run my compressor fridge and thus the reason for a house battery so I wouldn't have to run the Prius to keep power to the Prius 12 volt battery.
