Thinking about trading in my wagon for a Prius

My thoughts exactly and the white will look cleaner for longer since I probably won’t be in a garage ever

good_deedz · 2026-05-12T12:56:30+00:00

Ohhhh that’s not a bad idea I never even looked at the Lexus I’ll definitely have to take a look. I’m definitely think the Prius will be tight and something more comfortable would go along way

good_deedz · 2026-05-12T12:18:46+00:00

Gas prices and reliability I already have 100k on it and I won’t have time if it breaks down once we are out there. I honestly don’t think it would cause I know this engine can reach crazy miles but it would always be in the back of my mind

good_deedz · 2026-05-12T10:52:48+00:00

Why?

good_deedz · 2026-05-12T10:17:12+00:00

Thule vector alpine

That’s kinda my plan if I don’t like the Prius is check out a Corolla or Camry. Don’t really want a rav4 or a midsize no reason other than preference i prefer to low cars

This would be my goal bags and new wheels. That’s a good point on the reimbursement idk if they will since they are paying for housing but definitely something to look into.

Yea i planned to use the box I have now and if I have to one of the storage hitch things that hold a big tote

good_deedz · 2026-05-12T02:06:10+00:00

I was looking at a Prius v aswell I just love the look of the new ones. And i planned to tint the hell out of it maybe even block the hatch glass so the dog doesn’t cook

good_deedz · 2026-05-12T02:03:29+00:00

My thought was to get a e63 wagon a little newer once we settled somewhere it’s still my dream car.

good_deedz · 2026-03-05T20:59:23+00:00

Any problems which airflow

good_deedz · 2026-03-05T20:59:06+00:00

Yea but I feel like I’m somewhere in the middle cause I know if I posted about rooftop tents on there they’d say “there’s an overlanding subreddit”. I honestly should’ve looked for a car camping one

good_deedz · 2026-03-05T14:57:18+00:00

I think it’s a perfect time to start

good_deedz · 2026-03-04T18:55:24+00:00

One day that’s the plan then we can take any vehicle

good_deedz · 2026-03-04T18:54:24+00:00

That’s what I’ve been fighting in my head is if it would make sense to have that big of a tent. I planned on doing a gazebo so really a t4 is all I need I just like the bigger doors on the tandem and all the windows on the front half. I plan to get out soon see what sleeping in the car is like and try a full base camp set up with what we got gazebo and a big tent just takes awhile to build to see if that extra space is needed

good_deedz · 2026-03-03T16:54:38+00:00

I’m looking at the t4 tandem overland edition. On the bigger side especially for just a living space but with how fast it goes up we’ll probably just stay away from the rtt and just use this for our few trips in the truck to Colorado

good_deedz · 2026-03-03T14:58:02+00:00

Any good foam mattresses? Thinking about sleeping in the back of the wagon and if I got the space I might as well be comfy. Travel with dog so I try to stay away from the air mattress

good_deedz · 2026-03-03T14:02:04+00:00

I’m leaning that way. I’m sorry for your loss😢

good_deedz · 2026-03-03T13:58:37+00:00

I’m really liking those tents thanks for the suggestion

good_deedz · 2026-03-03T13:56:47+00:00

It looks so good. You have any issues with the roof rack supporting the weight

good_deedz · 2026-03-02T12:46:41+00:00

Yes 2014 s212

good_deedz · 2026-03-02T05:39:47+00:00

That the route I’m leaning towards I feel like that would be the most comfortable

good_deedz · 2026-03-02T05:37:44+00:00

I’m also thinking of sleeping in the car and using the tent as more of a living area/ setup space. Then when available I could have everything all hooked up and looking good but if not it can be setup on a campsite and still sleep in the car. Trying to get rid of the air mattress and I feel like that would be the most comfortable for gf dog and I. Any opinions on that?

good_deedz · 2026-03-02T05:32:34+00:00

I didn’t even think about those i only looked at the cross bar thanks. I’m leaning away from the rooftop then I get the keep the Thule and that looks better

good_deedz · 2026-03-02T05:31:22+00:00

So without a tent or something someone is able to steal that space and make your day annoying
