    So this past weekend and this coming weekend are camping weekend for us... Now typically we take a random suv (run a car lot) but my current Prius obsession has me going... Last weekend was good few times we would have gotten stuck I figured a bit o'nice person on the rear bumper would have solved all :) was so nice to travel a distance and not dump $150 into a suburbans gas tank... All and all with a bit of packing skill we did just fine.. How bout everyone else? Thinking of building my ev pusher trailer just so I have more cargo room :)


    Have fun !

    You might consider getting a small trailer. Better still, a 10-12 ft. jon boat trailer with a cover. Dump the extra in the jon boat and off load at the site . . . Oh, you'll have a boat too. <grins>

    We don't boat we wander off into nowhere (until A: we get stuck or B: wife says this is it)

    I'm confused about the pictures you want to see the car loaded up?


    Have fun !

    It would be kinda hard to do in a classic prius though. It isn't a hatchback.
