I just posted my first YouTube video in nearly two years! I take you on a tour of my setup for living in my toyota prius hybrid electric car. Let me know what you think!
Man, after not making videos for a few years this took a lot longer to put together than I expected. Made a LOT of mistakes, but oh well, live and learn! Getting back into the swing of things
Blurring out my license plate took an aggravatingly long time.
YouTube description:
In this video I give a tour of the setup I've created for living full time in a 2008 Toyota Prius. I cover my storage arrangements, where I sleep, and everything I use to stay comfortable while living in this car.
