Skreenz on the front windows Use storage bins to fill the space between front and back seats. Army surplus camp mat and sleeping bags. Plenty of room for two to sleep comfortably Plenty of room for 2 to sleep comfortably IMG_20170309_175157 by Mike Prevost posted Mar 10, 2017 at 8:02 AM
Very clever with the bins. Congrats on having having by far and away the most fuel efficient Prevost conversion ever! Not to mention the easiest one to park.
Hi Mike, could you share the dimensions of the storage bins that you used? The brand and model could be helpful as well. I have been looking for a storage solution to also act as a head rest. Ideally, something with sliding drawers to avoid having to unpack the bins when I need to access something. I would appreciate any other suggestions. Thank you!
This is interesting... Newbies - Let's See Some Pics! | Page 108 | PriusChat I wonder how much it weighs and the resulting MPG hit?
He says it weighs 50 lb and increases MPG. I think we have a troll. Here is another post with more pictures. Newbie Intro | PriusChat
The storage containers measure: Big one: 17"long, 12" high, 11" wide Little one: 17" long, 8" high, 11" wide You could definitely go wider to fill in more gap if you wanted. Looks like 20ish inches is about the right height to match the height of the seats. Got the bins at Target. Not sure of the brand.
The front door screens are actually for my old 2006 Honda Element but it turns out they fit fine on the Prius. You can get custom Skreenz here: Making bug screens (Skreenz) to provide camping comfort by protecting you from bugs like flies and mosquitoes They fold up pretty small, and work great. Plus they last forever.
I'd like to try this. Does anyone have a suggestion for how to even out the heigh difference between the folded seats and trunk in the touring/no spare trims?
I've slept comfortably in both the Gen 2 and Gen 4. With the Gen 4, I was initially concerned that the higher level for the folded seats would bother me, but with an air mattress the difference in height was not even obvious. Plus I believe I sleep better with the upper portion of my body in an elevated position anyway.
I raised my cargo area with styrofoam. I have a nice flat deck and some additional storage "cubbys" with cutouts in the foam.
