When it comes to set it as a camping vehicle, what amenities are you considering at least to try to fit into it?
Its certainly doing a good job of driving the Prius community crazy so far

The most important camping amenity is a nice large flat floor in the back to put my bed, ive owned too many wagons over the years and i just cant justify sleeping on cold uneven ground, even when camping. Ive also begun a solar system with inverter for charging cameras and laptops and phones and the like, which also doubles as site power for construction work during the week. This should allow me to run a portable fridge in the future as well.

The rear being devoid of seats will allow me to build storage systems for all of the usual camping stuff on weekends and tools during the week, kitchen stuff, sleeping gear, shade, fire making, etc etc. I dont want to go too overboard on the gear as its not exactly a heavy duty hauler.
