I have 2021 RAV4 XLE Hybrid and camped for a month in Rocky mountains, sleeping on a mattress (which almost fit) in the back. Surprises:

I thought I could get in and out through the motorized back hatch. Sorry, remote worked only if the car was off. Also, I couldn't run CPAP and electric cooler overnight unless the vehicle was locked from the inside, other wise it turned off after an hour and flashed a security light on the panel. So this is what I did:
1. remove headrest from driver's seat
2. turn on car, pressing on brake
3. squeeze in from side rear door
4. reach over driver's seat and lock the car (on the driver's door lock button)
5. car ICE will turn on for a minute every 20-30 minutes to recharge the hybrid system (one notch only) so AC, CPAP, etc run all night
