It would be cool to put a roof top cargo carrier bag on top of the campers for dry storage so you don’t have to pull all of your camping equipment in and out of the camper to sleep.
Hi, the space under the bunk is about the same size as many roof boxes so you can actually store everything underneath the bed. I’ve been camping out of mine for the last 4 days and haven’t had to remove anything to sleep in it. Cook stove, tools, hatchet, water, food etc all stores great underneath. We also have some storage space under the fold down bed sides. Cheers! 👍
Hello Mike-san. I am Japanese viewer. What a wonderful K-car camping shell! Do you intend to sell this in Japan? Car camping is popular in Japan right now. There are plenty of kei cars and kei trucks in Japan and the market is large enough. However, there is not yet a market for camping shells for kei trucks in Japan. If you start business in Japan, I am sure you will make a lot of money. I am sure that we can buy a camping shell for a kei truck at a reasonable price and I am sure that you can make a lot of money too.
Thanks Jon 😊 I Probably will talk a bit more about the details after we get more camping with them. I just want to know the materials all hold up well before I recommend any of it to others.
I remember searching for content for metal fabrication that is high quality,well-organized, and easy to understand, was interested in welding basic. So start a search on youtube and find Mike festiva channel. The first video I viewed on the channel was of a 420cc Predator-powered articulating 4x4 dump truck. The precision and organization of metal manufacturing were outstanding. Since that day, I haven't missed a single video. Thank you for your patience and effort in creating these videos, Mike.
Raptor liner or other truck bed liner would be a great coating to seal them. You can get it in white as well. Awesome job, and what a cool addition to the mini trucks!
I like the concept (but I would do as I have a NorthStar truck camper) but if I was doing this type of build I would think about; 1. As being watertight is critical I would wrap the whole thing with fibre glass. I would use slightly thinner plywood to compensate for the waste. 2. Change the glass windows for double glazed plastic for better insulation and to reduce weight 3. Have loads of holes in the bed base to allow air flow under the mattress to stop damp and mould (as a bonus each hole would also cut more weight). 4. The escape hatch (plus shopping loader) is a great idea, I always worry about what would happen if some a-hole locked the tailgate while I was asleep and this solves that problem. You have probably done it by now but if not I would insulate it to the same thickness as the walls. 5. Have you secured your powerbank so that an opportunist can't lever open the hatch and just snatch it? Please don't take these comments as being negatives, they are meant as potential positives.
I saw your campers at your work after you pulled them out. I had a quick look at them. I wondered when you were going to post a video of them in action. Very nice. I liked the offset sides. I have and use a diesel heater daily. I'd recommend having a spare fuel pump. That seems to be the main failure point for them. So, I work in the white building next to you. Look for a older, lifted white subaru. Look forward to seeing you on the trails!
35 years ago I had a Honda similar truck and built a lightweight camper back but overhung the back as I am very tall. Used it for events all over the country.
With how absurd the automotive industry in America is today with prices and quality, I really think Japanese Kei cars and trucks would have a huge market. That’s probably exactly why they’ve been prohibited from import. If you can’t compete with competitors, block them out. Personally I think I’d fall in love with some form of western Kei variant
Im suprised USA doesn't see many Suzuki Jimny. In USA this was called Samurai in the 80's and always seem to sell well in the UK, Australia, India and indonesia because you see them everywhere. All these little Suzuki 4x4s are often a different body on the same chassis, motor and gearbox which makes them cheap to own for a 4x4. Modern versions are superior in every regard and most importantly a million times more safe. - 1998 onwards in western countries had traction control and ABS that will cause the vehicle to swap ends instead of roll over. - Steel intrusion bars in the doors. - Airbags. - Selectable 4wd while moving slowly without leaving the vehicle to lock the hubs. With the 1.3 litre EFI 16 valve 13a motor and five speed I get about 28mpg 2WD with the Aircon ON using 95 ULP. 4WD High brings a hit to 20 MPG on a regular dirt road and you can burn as much as you want in 4WD low. If you can buy a current model Jimny I promise it will bring you the joy of turning the key to a new adventure every time you drive.
I owned a 1987 Samurai hard top years ago, cool simple 4x4 👍 I now own a 1992 Suzuki Sidekick 4 door 4x4, it has a few updates compared to my 87, Fuel injection and 1.6L 16 Valve engine but I sill liked the look of the older Samurai more. I sure wish we could still buy new Suzuki’s in the USA but unfortunately back in the early 90s a TV show/ magazine called Consumer reports made some false claims that the Samurai was the most unstable 4x4 sold and flipped easily. They basically took down the Suzuki name with that false report. Suzuki sales dropped off after that. Americans still don’t understand that was a fraudulent report and consumer reports got sued and paid out to Suzuki. Check it out on RUclips, there’s some interesting videos about it. Unfortunately we probably will never see them sold here again. I would really like to own a new Jimny!
I learned how to drive a stick shift on those little Kei trucks. I was in the military and was stationed in Japan when I was 19. Those little things are awesome. We had a couple trucks and a van version of them at work.
When I was stationed in Okinawa, My Supra was in the shop and they gave me a kei truck as a loaner. Now, I'm 6'3 and at the time I was about 220lbs so it was a tight fit! Honestly I loved that little truck and I've always wanted one since.
Love it! Just such a neat way to get the most out of those trucks, they’re proper little utility vehicles. When you mentioned how warm it is, I was reminded of a Kei truck I saw on IG last week that someone added a sauna to.
What an epic little adventure with little trucks! Damn, I wish I was closer, I'd make a camper for my Carry and rip with you guys! So much fun! Everything turned out mint! Nice work!
@@Mikefestiva Suzuki is 100% flawless. I actually JUST got done using it to bring in firewood for my shop. 4wd low, no problems in all the half frozen slop mud and I don't really even have that aggressive of tires on it, just some Super Diggers I imported from Japan. I'd say I use it at least once or twice a weekend, usually for farm chores. In the summer I use it all the time. It's so very handy. I'd like to get it plated, but where I'm at here in farm country 4th gear won't cut it, people FLY around here. It's the only thing I wish it had, was a 5th. Still, such a great truck and I'm glad I have it. You guys look like you're having a blast too! Glad you're out there having fun Mike!
You are so creative with the Kei Trucks! From where I live Kei Trucks are only used to carry people and haul everything else. Its refreshing to see them being used as campers.
I love that kind of thinking, the more less you have to take with you ,the more you will have freedom. They look cosy inside and cute outside. I like it. Talking about the sealing at the Corners outside : maybe it lasts longer with Profiles made from Aluminium with window adhesive (uv resistent, and flexible). Greetings from Germany
Hey Mike, the campers are awesome! Do you think you could do a little more in depth video on how they are built? Are they painted? Skinned? I saw the tape on the corners, what kind of tape is it? I'd love to do a lightweight camp trailer build and I'm interested to know what works.
watching from Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. came across your video because i've been looking into kei trucks. loved to see the campers you made and also enjoyed all the rain and nature you show. Juarez is desert so for me those creeks and rivers flowing hard with water was sooo nice
Nice job. I love Kei trucks. We can't use them on road in Massachusetts. I never understood why people put so much into building a camper. If I wanted a hotel, I'd stay in one. You addressed all the things I'd like to do, very impressed.
Hey guys great mini campers love them, I live in an ambulance in the UK this time of year the diesel heater is a lifesaver. I did notice that you have taken your exhaust down and then up creating a p trap, when you get condensation from burning diesel it will fill up and stop your diesel heater from starting or running in the middle of the night which can be a bummer 🇬🇧👍
Oh here we go heading into another WA winter, looks like it could be a rainy one. Ive been seeing more of these kei trucks here on the west coast but never seen a camper conversion. Such a cool design, i really like your guys fab work
What a perfect little camper! I (emphasis on “I”)would up the battery capacity and add some type of solar to them where I’m at for extended runs. As long as I can lie down with my legs stretched out, it’s plenty of room.
Love the little campers you guys made. Awesome! Really well thought out. Can’t think of any guys that look like they’re having more fun than you two brothers. Really enjoy your videos.
Great video. Would love to see a video of how these camper builds have held up and a more in depth video of how you build it and what materials you used :)
Just a reminder, any kind of a culvert or drainage pipe is the last place you want to take shelter in during a rainstorm. I know that’s not what is promoted in this video, but people still get ideas. Nice video.
These Kei trucks seems awesome and super practical... but if you're going with just yourself and one more :( I wouldn't be able to bring my family along with me, and no way would I have them bouncing around in the bed-mounted back camper while I drive through the Highway 🤣🤣
Oh man, absolutely love this! I dig the heck out of these two rigs and now you just put them over the top. Really appreciate the vibe you and your brother have and it shines when you two have fun like this.
Wish you showed more about building the camper, i dont have a bunch of experience with carpenty building, let alone making a camper for a truck, i plan to get one of these trucks and love the caper idea, I'd like to have seen a bit more how you made it.
I've long enjoyed Dentan and a few other Japanese kei car camping channels and was wondering when I'd see some western outdoors RUclipsrs getting in on the act. These builds are just so neato and tempting. Modern lithium power stations are so useful and must-haves for car campers...but not *quite* what the doctor ordered for more energy hungry applications, like boiling water repeatedly and running cooktops. I've been keeping an eye on solid state lithium! The first power station based on that chemistry becomes available soon, and it promises to be a game changer.
Very cool little campers. I have a small school bus I converted and love watching what others have done. Those heaters won’t run much to warm those little campers up.

I really love the size of the truck, very compact. But do either of you worry about being locked in there at night while they rob the cab?
@@FEARNoMore I really don’t think that’s going to be an issue, but If that ever did happen the person trying to rob us will suffer some serious health issues and will regret it.

@OlympicOverland I like your method, lower center of gravity, and less overall height. All the best to you and the family!
@@valleytractorservices9310 thanks man! 👍
If you had my experience with a "waterproof" bag carrier you wouldn't go anywhere near one. Hardshell is the only way to go.
I was thinking roof top tent so you don't have have a bed in the camper
Super slick campers you all built. Very simple but they have everything you need. Looking forward to the build videos.
Thanks 👍
Love the campers guys!!! My Suzuki Carry has the "dump body" so unloading the camper will be easy.😅😂🤣

The correct amount of gear needed to camp: whatever it takes to convince the wife to go.

Even bad food tastes good when you're having fun in the woods.
Well, whatever "those others" always think they say they now... I find your campers great, nifty, useful, simple, highly versatile...
Thanks man 😊👍
I’m actually out camping this weekend with my mini camper. Take care
Those trucks are awesome. My brother just bought a towable off-road camper and I'd say you saved yourself $45000 to spend on other cool things now.
I saw your campers at your work after you pulled them out. I had a quick look at them. I wondered when you were going to post a video of them in action. Very nice. I liked the offset sides.

Another great trip man! I’ve used mine everyday since we finished them😂. Looking forward to getting up into the snow with them soon 👌
Same here!
What an awesome mod for both trucks! Small and simple, spot on.
Those fold down bed sides must be so handy 🤘🏻
You like motorcycles, kei trucks, and sailboats? You know how to live!
This is how camping should be, nice and simple. You are having too much fun with these trucks.

Great work! My Dad and I built our first camper in 1959 with Popular Mechanics plans and a big box of wood screws.
Nice 👍😊

Those are nice campers. Simple but functional.
they need to start making these mini trucks again or something similar in the us

Very nice guys!!
Aluminum composite panels. Very light and strong. Attached to aluminum extrusion frame . Super light and strong . That would be cool
i love this idea you guys are so smart hope we get more videos about this its so cool

Great Vid and job on the campers Love your videos
Thanks 👍

I am inspired by the builds but must say I enjoyed the easy nature of these two boys.
This is what camping should look like from my perspective. Good job!
In a Kei truck down by the river..lol..reminded me of Chris Farley
Haha 😂 I remember watching Chris in the 90s on SNL 👍
this is awesome! As if I didn't already want a Kei Truck (sambar) now I definitely want one for these campers!
yall just having fun and living! great times and great video!
Just another reason I want to get myself one of these K trucks.
And they're cheap
Hey guys great mini campers love them, I live in an ambulance in the UK this time of year the diesel heater is a lifesaver. I did notice that you have taken your exhaust down and then up creating a p trap, when you get condensation from burning diesel it will fill up and stop your diesel heater from starting or running in the middle of the night which can be a bummer 🇬🇧👍
You do such a great job explaining each step, super helpful!
These are great! It awesome that you get to do this with your brother!
Oh here we go heading into another WA winter, looks like it could be a rainy one. Ive been seeing more of these kei trucks here on the west coast but never seen a camper conversion. Such a cool design, i really like your guys fab work
What a perfect little camper! I (emphasis on “I”)would up the battery capacity and add some type of solar to them where I’m at for extended runs. As long as I can lie down with my legs stretched out, it’s plenty of room.
Those are some very cool trucks for this purpose; noisy, raw - you're one with the machine and one with the environment
Nice van, nice vid. I need to cut some leg off so I can enjoy a K Camper myself. At least in BC they're still cheap and easy to register.
I want a Kei truck so bad

Just a recommendation to add a carbon monoxide detector on the ceiling.
Why? There is no combustion going on inside the cabin part.
@@daviddemmers130 because you would be sleeping above your diesel heater.
