  • Nice to meet you.
    I'm Coupy.
    I'm a Japanese living in Japan.
    I bought a very small camper that can be found in Japan.
    It's called a K-camper.
    I made a video of the event.
    indy727 5MT 4WD
    -----------
    There are also channels with no talk, no BGM, and only environmental sounds. I made it with the aim of making a relaxing video.
    I hope you can see it before going to bed or when you want to relax.

      It does look like a perfect vaccation vehicle for young couples! If the first row of back seats could be converted into regular passenger seats, it could even acomodate the entire family until the kids are bigger. Definitely something with a lot of potential in foreign markets, especially since k-cars already gained a lot of traction in smaller businesses.

      The lack of storage would become a problem really fast for any sort of long term use/travel. Where to store food and cooking utensils alone would probable take up most if not all of the storage he has.
      So while nifty for short weekend trips or something (a bit pricey to buy something like this for that) that's about all it's good for. Even a micro-camper you hook up the back of your car would probable provide more space.
      It is cute though and if it works for him, then more power to him.

    What a cool little camper van. It looked very small at first, but once the popup was raised, it really did make it look a lot bigger. I also wasn't expecting it to have 2 beds inside, but it means you could leave the upper bed mostly made up, and leave the 'downstairs' for general living space.
    The sink is also a neat touch, and having the camp stove under the seat means you can easily use this as a weekender, possibly even a week away without sacrificing too many creature comforts :-)
    Nice review.

      @angeluscorpius 3 года назад +11

      A lot of the Japanese campers do not include a toilet as (culturally) the idea of toilet in their car is quite abhorrent (or at least unacceptable). Modern campers are starting to include them, but for the Japanese, toilet use in public is not an issue. Most (or maybe all) establishments are quite hospitable in that respect. And most campers also do not feel the need to provide shower facilities because of the many onsens and sentos in Japan. In fact, my suspicion is that the Japanese get a camper, and then go and visit as many onsens as possible (their version of a "pub crawl" except with Onsens and over a few days at least). At least, that's what this non-Japanese has sort of figured out (or speculated). My dream is to caravan in Hokkaido. But....

    This is the Tiny House of campers, an ingenious design, as I would expect from the Japanese. Put a portapotty in, and it's pretty livable, for one person, anyway. The sink can be used for rudimentary washcloth bathing. The poptop is great for a feeling of spaciousness. I stealth-lived In a Westfalia VW poptop van for several months. This would be luxurious in comparison. Add a mini fridge and you would be good to go! Let's see ... 3M yen is what, in dollars? $26,632.58, not too shabby. Now, is it available in the US? Well, probably not until it's 25 yrs old, although they could be made USA-compliant if there's a market. Could be.

Which the Japanese version are much more comfortable. Also the radio in Indonesia you only get a single din radio, rather getting the 9" inch version like yours. Pretty cool modification though.
