    I've never got 66 MPG. I average 46ish MPG since I've got non LRR tires. That's a loss of about 30%.

    But, still, a luxurious camper for two with 33 MPG? Who could ask for more?

    they sell tiny little pull behind campers...my guess is that the smallest two could probably be pulled by a Prius

    And 90 bucks isn't terrible (but not cheap either). I have a truck tent for my Chevy Colorado that cost well over 200.

    Ha! Finally the joy of being five-and-a -half feet tall. If I am any taller my feet would be sticking out of the rear bumper!

    Now this would be great if it also comes in colors that would coordinate with your own car!

    How do you order these? What a fantastic product. I searched Ebay for habitent and only books come up. Who makes them?

    I wonder, in an 8 hour sleeping session, how much gas you would use if you left the A/C on all night. Camping in Florida is usually HOT unless it's Nov-Feb.

    So is politeness. If you Google "habitent Prius" their site does not come up until the 10th entry.

    Thank you, but most people already know that Google is helpful.

    I dont know what your problem is, I looked it up for you and you think this is not polite.

    Your on your own kid.

    I did both a search on ebay and a google search for Habitent and got the right address both times. I ordered mine thru ebay. There have been posts on running the AC which said not much gas is used, but have not tried it myself....

    I couldn't imagine the engine not waking you up every time it came on. Maybe I'm just a light sleeper.

    Sorry to bring up a old thread ... I'm ordering one of these. As for the motor waking you up, you get used to it. I slept in a semi for 6 months with the engine running. Talk about a free massage... :)

    My concern is running the engine while sleeping inside with the hatch open.
