That's the spirit OP. I try to stick as close to ultralight as possible for backpacking. For car camping it's a great luxury to bring EVERY DAMNED THING I OWN.
By the way, lose those thin backpacking pads and get some Shikibutons. Also I never take narrow mummy bags car camping, ever. Big cheap warm rectangular Walmart bags FTW. Cabin tent! Cooler of beer! Comfy chairs! Propane for everything!
Yep. I just lay the wide side of the rear seat down and slap one of these down there, grab a sleeping bag to put on top and a couple of pillows and I'm set. I stash a cooler either in the front passenger seat if I need a big one, or in the floorboard of the driver's side rear seat if i only need a small one for the weekend. My camp stove and a small suitcase go in the trunk on the side I'm not using for sleeping. There's actually plenty of room in there for the essentials.
The Prius acts as its own generator so if you're in a place that's particularly cold or hot you can leave the car running with the AC or heat on. It runs on the hybrid battery the majority of the time and the gas engine will kick in to recharge the battery every so often. Depending on the weather you can spend anywhere from $0 if it's cool/warm enough to just have the windows cracked for air flow to $1.50 if it's particularly hot or cold and the car needs to run more to make up for the AC/heat.
I was looking for ideas for saving cash on a road trip when I found this dude's blog and YouTube video about setting up his Prius to live in. I'm not living in my car so I haven't done most of what he did to set it up, but I took some ideas for going camping in it.
I got mine for about $55 (new) on eBay. I've seen them on Amazon for $65 plus shipping. There is another type that is filled with cotton, but although this type is rollable, I didn't think I would care for the bumps. You can get a far more expensive shikibuton, but I was/am on a budget.
This was recently recommended at r/simpleliving. Can't vouch for it but it looks promising to me.
