Trunk stuffer
Does anybody have any concerns about stuffing the TCH trunk to capacity? I assume the battery pack, with the big vent behind the back seat, is fully self contained (including cooling,) so I'm free to cram stuff up against the battery without worring about overheating.
Thoughts, concerns or comments?
Thanks.

Exactly what I was thinking. As we're getting ready for a trip, we're gonna be stuffing every last nook and cranny. Thanks for the feedback.

Edit: Maybe I will just put them in my wife's car since there seem to be a lot of concerns about using jumper cables with the HSD in this car anyway!

Re: Trunk stuffer
I have jumper cables that I keep in the trunk - they are in a bag that is about 4" thick, and about 18" in diameter. It fits nicely in the upper area on the right (the pass through from the back seat), but it refuses to stay in place. I need to find a way to make it stay up there (other than never accelerating quickly)!

Perhaps your concern is jumping the TCH with another vehicle.

Re: Trunk stuffer
Well I was asking someone at work with a Prius about her experiences and mentioned some concerns about jumping or being jumped (at least wth the TCH, as per some thread here), and she said she'd used her Prius to jump a number of cars before and been jumped more than once herself. Based on that I have a hard time imagining the Camry is less viable for either end of the jumpstart than the Prius, wouldn't you think...?

I just got back from a 13 day road trip with a friend (Chicago, Bonnaroo, Memphis, Chicago, and home, with numerous detours to explore the South, which was AWESOME, by the way), and we had the trunk competely crammed, including pillows stuffed up into that little cranny - zero problems. As others have said, the vent is in the car, so no worries.

Thanks for the feedback. Where the heck is Bonnaroo?

Re: Trunk stuffer
Bonnaroo is a 4 day music/arts festival that takes place every year in Manchester, TN on a large farm. And this festival attracts a lot of big name musicians/groups as well as up and comers. The term Bonnaroo, which is cajun slang for a really good time, was made famous by New Orleans musician, Dr. John, some time in the 70's.
