Kei Campervans from Japan

[Thirty-Nine]

Kei car + camper van = kei campervan!

Admittedly, this wouldn't be something you'd want to travel the Interstate with, but it'd probably be great in Japan, and you could probably get around OK on highways in the U.S. I kind of love it.

Here's the article I wrote about them.

Looks like if you coud get inside you wouldn't have room to change your mind.

OMG. Love the tandem axle setup!

One could actually make that tandem setup into a dual motor with the way the 90's subaru rear drivetrain is done! You'd need it too since the motors are ~ 50 HP usually.

2016 Japan Camping Show; lots of pics. I love how creative they've been to get all the functionality but in 2/3rds the space.

I have a friend who will be attending the 2017 show next week.

I am officially mad about these. I must get to this show one year. Bucket list.
