    Newbie here in Florida (2012 Prius v Five - tech package with moon roof).

    Curious if anyone else works from their car? Looking for tips to make the experience more comfortable.

    I rigged this up because I had to work from a hotel the past two weeks, and my husband lives on speaker phone for his job. Also the hotel lobby required masks, and I facilitate video calls all day long.

    I sat in the back seat, with the passenger seat pushed forward and leaned back without the headrest. I placed a small folding table from Walmart over the front seat. Unfolded the legs in the back seat but kept the two legs collapsed up front. Used a yoga mat to protect the dashboard, and a cigarette lighter inverter periodically to make sure my laptop didn’t die.

    A virtual zoom background disguised my location.

    Anyone else have a better setup, or suggestions to improve this one?

    Altoids seals the deal for me! Great concept and Idea. I don't own a V, but I just had to comment on your ingenuity!

    Well thank you Montgomery! I had all these dreams of car camping in the v and so far the most fun I’ve had is working in the v. Go figure!
