- I found the Ultimate Overland Prius Build at Overland Expo West 2021!
This thing is unreal, it has EVERYTHING and this guy is so cool!
He also sells The Camping Box, which you see in this video.
If you want to check Jonathan out on Instagram or CZcams, I have put links below.

I used to laugh at prius owners, then ended up with a cheap one. I've used it camp in all the southern states and it never cost me over $50 in fuel. I can leave it on all night for heat or air and it only occasionally start to maintain temp. My ram 2500 just kinda sits around anymore. I love it and will buying a nicer one in the near future.
What exactly was so funny about the Prius?
@@MouseyBusiness I smiled, thinking about how I still own a ram 1500 and now two prius. My design is more low drag for the rear end so the container is more tear drop in shape with a tighter sealed fit to the rear. I like the roof rack design, though 100 mile per hour tape like taping those seams came to mind. I don't mind the roof rack, though really don't like the loss in efficiency in my opinion even though I keep thinking I can get one for the 2006 so I have one for the gen 2 as well. Oddly, I went backwards in time to see what the gen 2 are like most recently. I think I like the gen 2 more for city driving and the gen 3 for long drives, highway at least and at least when its hot out since the AC seems to effect the engine performance in Eco mode at low speeds. Though the 2013 has almost 283K miles on.
😅😅😅 I used to be a Prius naysayer
...
No I own one....😅😅😅. I am about to lift it too
I still hate most Prius drivers though
Im looking at the corolla cross hybrid.
Wow what ana amazing rig. Just goes to show where theres a will theres a way. Theres just something extra special about the prius rigs for me, and not to mention around 34 mpgs with all the stuff, incredible!
I'm surprised it took that big of a hit without towing anything. Usually they get in the 50mph range
I'm planning on buying myself a Prius and converting it, so I've been on one of those rabbit holes and this is definitely one of the best setups I've seen. Thanks for the tour.
Thank you.
Kickass setup. Good for him! Cramer here!
Jonathan and Lady are EPIC, that PRIUS THOUGH!!
Haha yeah that Prius build is crazy, that guy is on another level of efficiency 😂🙌
@@KramerJunction He and I are cut from the same cloth... #PriusGang #PriusOverlanding
@@blackjmyntrn I included his IG stuff in the video description if you wanna check him out lol
When you thought you seen everything
I have that light in my kitchen is great with the sensor... I plan to take it camping
That just WOW !!!
This is what I was looking for !!!
bro that man is gorgeous
Lol his IG is in the description if you wanna give him a follow
I'd love to add a rack to my setup, but I've seen CRAZY drops in MPG. Along the lines of -3mpg with JUST the rack, and - 10-15 with the rack and something on it. I just can't justify that hit when adding a hitch-shelf has an almost negligible effect on fuel efficiency. It makes sense, sing the Prius' main advantage is the tear-drop shape. If you increase the height to add obstructions to airflow, you've just created a turbulence generator on the roof and killed your MPG - In the back, it's more or less in the natural turbulent airflow of the Prius so you don't take much more of a hit.
looove my little '16 Prius touring. I take it all over and could do much more with a little lift, hitch and roof rack. great info!
He keeps his cooler where I keep mine. So many put their cooler on the floor and it's hard to get to.
Haha that’s awesome, he has an amazing build!
I’m about to start modify my Prius I’m always traveling down 4wd trails … I tow a trailer ( my home ) with it …
What hitch attachment is that bro? Post the link. I have a 2017 Prius prime and want to add that extended arm to my 2inch hitch also! Great idea!
There’s are links for everything in the video description. You can find a link to his IG and the kitchen. Tell him I said hi lol
His IG is priuscamping and the hitch box is the.camping.box
Genius!
Haha yeah this guy was pretty cool, every where you looked on his rig there was some awesome feature hidden away
Awesome to see this design! I've totally worked on the design for something somewhat like the hitch and more of a low drag design container so to add weight and also take advantage of the 15 percent approx drag reduction potential. I also was thinking of moving the fridge freezer to the container so to make all that area in the container for kitchen and toiletries. Wound up not traveling overnight like I used to and haven't gotten much past the materials stock waiting to be picked back up again. I now own a gen 2 prius, so have that potential as well. Actually, the original design was for the 2001 dodge ram to help lower drag along with the Mike Bassich style walk through and rear cap. I recently saw the photo of the drawings and is this like mind control AI suggesting or what? Anyways, yeah, mine is more to lower drag and create space whether improves efficiency or not. Neat designs!
Nothing more than gravel roads I guess? It doesn’t off road, at least not as I define those words. Looks like a nifty camper. Wouldn’t have expected a Prius as a camper.
czcams.com/video/ifNDywTMKTE/video.html idk - i consider double black diamond rated 4WD trails as offroad. a little lift, good tires, its narrow track, and skillful driving can take the prius much further than gravel roads.
hahahah! you should see some of the videos I've posted... $100 says my Prius will go wherever your rig goes...
Certainly a great camper, more so than it is an off roader. It has a great camping mode, where you turn the car on and can run the climate control system all night without the car running. The ac runs on electricity, it doesn’t need the motor running. But what it does is monitor the battery level while you’re running the ac, if it gets too low the motor will come on automatically and run just long enough to charge the battery back up, and then shut itself off, leaving the ac running.
This is just a commercial. What he's hiding below the blanket? 😅
"Oh, hey "stranger", mind if I take a look at your setup?" Cringe
Cyclist's fault
Jajajaja...inwas just walking and I see you.....he says see my social media, the roof rack goes in production in 2 weeks. Lol. That said......cool setup.
