meecieI'm not sure what it was that made me google "road tripping with a prius," but whatever muse inspired that, thank you so much!
I was bemoaning not having a larger car. You know, something I could sleep in. Something where the seats at least folded flat. I was trying to figure out the best way to handle my epic road trip (tm) this summer, whether tent camping (a lot of work and extra gear to set up and put away every day), or brief dog-friendly hotel stops (expensive) or what.
But oh, the google gods, they were with me. I discovered this little gem:

And my initial thought was "what good is that if you can't actually sleep in the car?" but lo, you can actually fold the seats of the prius flat, if you have the wherewithal to remove the headrests from the back seats (duh) and extend the sleeping area a little bit with storage containers. I've been OBSESSED for the last 36 hours or so. I found this blog which went even further: http://suanneonline.blogspot.com/2010/02/prius-rv.html Note, she does all of this without the extra room allowed by the tent extension, too! I'm not that ambitious, I want the extra room.
I figure a couple of one-night camping trip excursions to work out the details are probably in order, so I'll try to give that a go sometime soon. I blocked off a couple days from work later this month.
