My Prius V RV/Vanlife Conversion V1

Welcome to my Prius V Vanlife Adventure!

Yep, you read that right—I live in a 2012 Prius V while traveling, working, and soaking up the beauty of nature. Why? Because I got tired of the rat race, said “nah, I’m good,” and decided to work for myself, be my own boss, and actually enjoy life.

Right now, it’s just me, my dog, and some minimalist gear (translation: the essentials + probably way too many snacks). I’ll be upgrading my setup over time, making it more comfortable, modern, and hopefully less “am I actually living in a glorified hatchback?”

This is Version 1.0 of my Prius V build. If you’ve seen Prius conversions before, they’re mostly the regular Prius, but I haven’t seen a Prius V vanlife build yet. So here we are, making history—one plywood platform at a time.

What I Did for V1:
• Ripped out the back seats like a true minimalist.
• Built a 3/4” plywood platform on 2x4 legs (it’s not fancy, but neither am I).
• Now I have a flat, comfy sleeping area and a ton of storage underneath.
• Before this, I was just folding the seats down—this is way better.

This build will evolve over time as I figure out what works, what doesn’t, and what I can actually afford. Stick around to see how it all progresses!
