"Ready" mode camping for climate control

While the hunkering threads only cover gen 3 non-PiP and gen 1 so far, the information about using a heated blanket, and about the car's different coolant temperature setpoints in different conditions, might partly match your interests. The threads might also suggest some things you could try in a PiP to check for differences, which you could even contribute in a PiP-specific thread.

 

The part of this subject that still confuses me is that both the Prime and the PiP have an auto shutoff timer in both ACC and On modes, and the drain on the 12 volt when in Ready mode and EV mode ( under certain conditions ) is quite alarming. Several minutes is all it takes to drain the 12 volt.

How ever one can get the PiP or Prime to work for the overnight camping HVAC usage thing, I still don't get it.

Though one thing I'm fairly certain of, is that it's nothing like using the regular Prius for that that purpose.
