This camper van is one of the most coolest and certainly most unique ones. I really hope that someday we will see more of them on the U.S, highways. I watched a Japanese You Tuber in a Hiace simple but beautiful camper van. I owned a cool Suzuki Samurai in Maui and I loved that machine and thought it was a perfect and capable 4X4 for the island. The economy of these small Japanese vehicles would be welcomed during these high price gas rip offs we are experiencing.

I love his camper Patrick..It feels youre inside in a cabin..

In the uk we have lot of grey imports from Japan because they are right hand drive,a lot of small MPV normally low mileage because Japan is a small country

Great video! Its surreal, you lived my exact experience ie looking at sprinters, prices too high, imported an atlas from japan, wanted something i can work in and also converted my inside. Love the roof basket and the fitting you did for the solar panels. Its a tough roof to fit solar to. Where do you get parts? I need to replace my rear leaf springs and shocks.

So glad to hear about that weboost - did want to make the investment without knowing for sure

This guy is so right when he made a point about other vandwellers and other KZread videos because a lot of them do exaggerate and say everything is great everything's great when it's not so I for one don't take that would like a grain of salt.. because DIY channels do get carried away and they poked a lot of crap. Which is why I questioned them.. I like question this channel sometimes..

Great work pal. Just changed some things in my new Wildwood FXS bunk bed camper. Lowered the bottom bunk by taking out part of the storage unit, lengthened them and built them to one side for easy access. Kitchen seat now moves slightly in front of door to make a longer bed there. My favorite addition is the five big drawers I added ( under Murphy bed , kitchen seats, bunk bed, and closet). I can feel the same joy this guy feels.

We have these here. Love the videos but the way you guys pronounce things is a highlight for me. Neesarn for Nissan and Marsda for Mazda always makes us Aussies laugh. The Asian campers are popular here for their reliability. Just about every small van is a Toyota or Mitsubishi.

A whole lotta “if you will” in there

Aside from the bag up on the rack, what stopped you from using a roof top bike rack instead? I'm sure you can find a way to fit the dry bag somewhere, but then you can't park underground.
