In this video I’ll show you how I keep prying eyes out of my Prius while using it as a camper. I’ve gone through 2 different iterations of my DIY covers, from foam inserts to simple fabric curtains that fold away conveniently. I discuss the pros and cons of both while showing you how to create a template to make your own. Achieving full coverage around the windshield and front side windows can be difficult, and tends to stick out like a sore thumb. That’s why I use a combination of an off-the-shelf sun shade, DIY covers, and a modified divider curtain to create the ultimate understated stealth mode.

- Sun Shade (GEN 3 ONLY): https://amzn.to/3UjtLke I’ve put in a request with the seller to see if they can offer this for the Gen 2 Prius. This is a different seller than I purchased mine from (the original eBay seller no longer offers it) but I bought a shade for a different vehicle from them and it is the same quality/style/construction as mine.
- Divider Curtain: https://amzn.to/4gRkit4 This is the one I bought. It’s no longer available, but you may be able to find something else on Amazon with similar specs.
