Me too. This is exactly the size most people would love to purchase on the caravan / motor home market. I wish they would be electric instead of benzin motor.
@@margemargie9891 hmm, i fail to see US as a potential market. The country is gigantic with large roads so a big car is fine. Unlike Europe where you have a lot of narrow roads
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.
@@kamilpotato3764 Yeah I had the same idea. As a Dutch person I would not be able to sleep on the 'ground floor'. Top might be OK though. And I couldn't ever stretch my back on the bottom floor without the top being raised. A "XL" variant of this would be perfect for me. I don't need the gaudy US style.

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.

I would love to have one of these in the US!!! My mom and I love to go camping but her back is getting worse every year. Sleeping on an air mattress in a tent could send her to the hospital with terrible back pain. And neither of us currently have space for an RV or even pop up camper. This little K-Camper would fit in her garage or mine with space to spare. I love it!!!

It's a lovely van! It is well-designed. Thanks for sharing your experience with us! I probably don't have the courage to invest 3 million yen on a van without being able to test-drive it first, but Japanese reliability is legendary.
Very cute, I was waiting to see where the toilet was, I half expected him to lift up the base of the passenger seat to reveal a hidden cassette toilet!
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....

I enjoyed the straightforward, detailed, and relatable presentation. After watching many videos on American camping vans and trailers, I was surprised that the table was not part of the bed setup. Now, I wonder if the table can be used in another location too. This vehicle has much potential. It is unfortunate that there is only one video. I am curious to know more about the use of the vehicle over the past year.

It’s gonna be a hard sell in USA because a Kei car is built with a max of 660cc engine or 64 horsepower, that’s smaller than most motorcycles here. Highway driving would be worrisome today, even though the VW Bus of the 70’s had similar engine power.
@@SteelHex There are older versions from the 90's now (not K cars though) that are diesel powered and they struggle to maintain highway speeds but they were build with 4WD and sit higher. It's hard to get them legal in some states though and there are import issues galore as you mentioned and it takes like 20 years sometimes before it's legal to even import them. (See the Toyota Hiace camper) Though for some people like me... I could never fit in something like this since I'm 6'3", I have enough issues fitting in US made RVs that are made for us taller people.
@@SilvaDreams I’m 6’4” and I would not fit either. Though the upstairs sleeping space would be perfect. I love sleeping higher up and on harder surfaces, along with the extra space I would love it up there. Anywhere else in that cabin would be extremely cramped though.
Thank you for the English subtitles and showing us a Japanese camper van. It’s so fun to see how things are made differently in different places. Here in the United States they are made larger but the quality doesn’t seem to be as good as what that looks to be.
Nice little camper. Ideal for weekend breaks. The heating is also a god send as I hate being cold and miserable. Only think needed would be a TV or a small portable projector and some surround speakers, which can be usb charged and Bluetooth.
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.
I could see someone working out how to get a toilet and even basic shower setup that can be put away. This thing definitely setup better for that kind of customization than the average work van and people still manage to do such improvements with those.
It would be so good on gas! Parts of Canada now 2.09 a litre or $7.91 a gallon. I have a truck and camper won't be going far! About as big as my camper for my short box, sleeps 3, but has a 3 way fridge and 2 burner stove, cupboards bigger. A yeti compact fridge would work or Aplicool. I really like his campervan! We are short would work for us. Everything is extra large in North America! All I can think of is the gas mileage it would get, love driving stick shift too!
Thanks for making such a thorough review! I'm amazed at all the little details that make this camper comfortable and practical. I enjoyed that you were so excited while recording the video! I could see your emotions through the screen. If you make another video, I'll be sure to watch it! 🙆🏻♀️
Awesome, I wish we had them in England, the steering wheel is even on the correct side for us, BTW I think the cupboard above the cab is to store the table.
I really like that RV, it would be great to camp in. Its nimble enough that you wouldnt have problems parking and you wouldnt have to have a drag along car or motorcycle. Very nice, and the 4x4 feature makes it all that much better.
It's so cute! Life would seem so simple getting to live in a place like that. Of course it would be more complicated because of where you are allowed to stay parked, and also more complicated because of how you could receive mail. And I can't drive because of disability, so I can't have one anyway. But it looks lovely, and so much cheaper than a house.

It has a manual transmission! Awesome! I Love my Honda Civic with 5-speed! Yours has 4WD! That's always handy for camping! And the retro styling is great! The sliders on the dash remind me of older vehicles but that's definitely a *Good* thing! I love the round windows, it reminds me of an 80s conversion van from here in the US! Thanks much for this tour of your new vehicle!

Amazing! I think the EU would love these small campers. Especially for the younger generation! - If they do not sell them here yet, i can imagine i will need to build a micro van
@@bengillen1287 These little things which actually seems to be 'green' (and smart in usage) are nono, but stupid 2 ton SUV hybrids surely will save the environment over here... Slowly we can't even find an A segment car, everything is SUV here in 'greenworld'...
Powered cooler and toilet under rear seat would be great! Could get away with sink washes but could always have a solar shower a d fill it with warm water!
No need for toilets or shower in Japan.there are free clean public toilet everywhere, plus 24/7 convenience store toilets on almost every corners. And cheap onsen (~¥500) easily accessible, onsen are natural hot water spa or public bath (sento). Japan is the best for van life.
@@sjefhendrickx2257.. and you forgot: a laptop, hairdryer, an clothes iron, and a dog, and a dog house, and a backyard.. yes man, some people never get the vibe of wandering with the minimum, it's a rare blessing to know when it's enough 🙏

I really wish K-Campers were available in Greece!!!
technically, they are. you just need to work with a japanese company to export one from japan. No wonder there is a 6 month waiting list for new ones, they're becoming really popular little cars.

It's a lovely van! It is well-designed. Thanks for sharing your experience with us! I probably don't have the courage to invest 3 million yen on a van without being able to test-drive it first, but Japanese reliability is legendary.
Very cute, I was waiting to see where the toilet was, I half expected him to lift up the base of the passenger seat to reveal a hidden cassette toilet!
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....
Its not a toilet its stove
what a nice way to burn your butt
With all those windows to cover, maybe a separate closet would be better.
A 5 gallon bucket a 13 gallon trash bag and a nice wooden toilet seat.
For such a small car, I still see the excellent build quality of any Japanese cars and products!
Hi from Australia
Just read yr comment and thought you might like to look at my set up, great locations including Fraser Island and random cook ups.

I enjoyed the straightforward, detailed, and relatable presentation.
After watching many videos on American camping vans and trailers, I was surprised that the table was not part of the bed setup. Now, I wonder if the table can be used in another location too.
This vehicle has much potential. It is unfortunate that there is only one video. I am curious to know more about the use of the vehicle over the past year.

Now I wish we had these in the States, that'd be perfect for a road trip or 4 day get away! and at just under 26K dollars it's not a bad price.
probably not road legal in the US. unfortunately. hasn't been built to the US spec.
It’s gonna be a hard sell in USA because a Kei car is built with a max of 660cc engine or 64 horsepower, that’s smaller than most motorcycles here. Highway driving would be worrisome today, even though the VW Bus of the 70’s had similar engine power.
Agree!!
@@SteelHex There are older versions from the 90's now (not K cars though) that are diesel powered and they struggle to maintain highway speeds but they were build with 4WD and sit higher.
It's hard to get them legal in some states though and there are import issues galore as you mentioned and it takes like 20 years sometimes before it's legal to even import them. (See the Toyota Hiace camper)
Though for some people like me... I could never fit in something like this since I'm 6'3", I have enough issues fitting in US made RVs that are made for us taller people.
@@SilvaDreams I’m 6’4” and I would not fit either. Though the upstairs sleeping space would be perfect. I love sleeping higher up and on harder surfaces, along with the extra space I would love it up there. Anywhere else in that cabin would be extremely cramped though.
Wow ! This is Very Cool, Wish we had this here in the States.
Thank you for the English subtitles and showing us a Japanese camper van. It’s so fun to see how things are made differently in different places. Here in the United States they are made larger but the quality doesn’t seem to be as good as what that looks to be.
Nice little camper. Ideal for weekend breaks. The heating is also a god send as I hate being cold and miserable.
Only think needed would be a TV or a small portable projector and some surround speakers, which can be usb charged and Bluetooth.
Having fun with small things.
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.
Mini refrigerators working off propane, I think are the only practical ones..
Needs to be on 24/7
If you replace the pull-out faucet hose with a longer hose, you can take a outdoor shower.
I could see someone working out how to get a toilet and even basic shower setup that can be put away.
This thing definitely setup better for that kind of customization than the average work van and people still manage to do such improvements with those.
@@InfernosReaper seeing as the worktop is quite low i'd just wee in the sink
It would be so good on gas! Parts of Canada now 2.09 a litre or $7.91 a gallon. I have a truck and camper won't be going far! About as big as my camper for my short box, sleeps 3, but has a 3 way fridge and 2 burner stove, cupboards bigger. A yeti compact fridge would work or Aplicool. I really like his campervan! We are short would work for us. Everything is extra large in North America! All I can think of is the gas mileage it would get, love driving stick shift too!
Thanks for making such a thorough review! I'm amazed at all the little details that make this camper comfortable and practical. I enjoyed that you were so excited while recording the video! I could see your emotions through the screen. If you make another video, I'll be sure to watch it! 🙆🏻♀️
^^
wowe a little and fine Micro Camper ..i think tats its good for me😁
My first time seeing a K-camper like this, and it's awesome. You did a great job recording your experience and keep up the great work!
Awesome, I wish we had them in England, the steering wheel is even on the correct side for us, BTW I think the cupboard above the cab is to store the table.
One could track down an import in the uk from a specialist,as it makes it easier.
Yeah, Japan and UK has steering on the right.
@@marinaau8551 Doesn't Japan have right side steering because of British influence from 100 years ago?
Congratulations! You have a lovely little camper!
Pequeño pero muy bien equipado! Me encanta que sea tan compacto, perfecto para salir a acampar en cualquier momento. 👍
Saludos desde México 🇲🇽✨
All world:. Complex is beautiful.. Japan : simple is simply beautiful.. 👍👍👍
I bet little people would love this thing. They wouldnt feel so overwhelmed by the large dimensions of a normal suv/camper
Pure awesomeness!! I wish I could buy these in California
I really like that RV, it would be great to camp in. Its nimble enough that you wouldnt have problems parking and you wouldnt have to have a drag along car or motorcycle. Very nice, and the 4x4 feature makes it all that much better.
It's so cute! Life would seem so simple getting to live in a place like that. Of course it would be more complicated because of where you are allowed to stay parked, and also more complicated because of how you could receive mail. And I can't drive because of disability, so I can't have one anyway. But it looks lovely, and so much cheaper than a house.
Where to use the bathroom, too?
@@vermontsmostobesetubaplaye1988 that's a good question tho.

It's an amazing and convenient van. smart design, optimizing space and functions. thanks for your video. make more videos on your tours
I could quite happily live in one of these for the rest of my days . Brilliant design , well presented. Thank you : )
I really didn't realise that what I needed the most today was off-brand Spock reviewing his awesome tiny camper van :D
We need these here in the states. The “second floor” was a surprise! Makes it comfortable for 2 people, no problem.
Hope too..
It has a manual transmission! Awesome! I Love my Honda Civic with 5-speed!
Yours has 4WD! That's always handy for camping! And the retro styling is great! The sliders on the dash remind me of older vehicles but that's definitely a *Good* thing!
I love the round windows, it reminds me of an 80s conversion van from here in the US! Thanks much for this tour of your new vehicle!
Search Coupy Channel on TH-cam. He has been posting many videos, this is just his second channel. He doesn't post much on this, but on that one its weekly. Go and check him out! th-cam.com/users/kupipoTV
Everything is so clean. No bums. No trash and no graffiti.
Amazing! I think the EU would love these small campers. Especially for the younger generation! - If they do not sell them here yet, i can imagine i will need to build a micro van
We can't get anything nice in the EU. Too many rules a restrictions. 😞
@@bengillen1287 These little things which actually seems to be 'green' (and smart in usage) are nono, but stupid 2 ton SUV hybrids surely will save the environment over here...
Slowly we can't even find an A segment car, everything is SUV here in 'greenworld'...
This camper seems like a death trap if you get in an accident. This would not never get through EU safety regulations
Now all you need is a camp toilet and an out side shower and a camp refrigerator. 😃
Powered cooler and toilet under rear seat would be great! Could get away with sink washes but could always have a solar shower a d fill it with warm water!
No need for toilets or shower in Japan.there are free clean public toilet everywhere, plus 24/7 convenience store toilets on almost every corners. And cheap onsen (~¥500) easily accessible, onsen are natural hot water spa or public bath (sento). Japan is the best for van life.
And an ac, and a tv, and, and, and,…..🙄
@@sjefhendrickx2257.. and you forgot: a laptop, hairdryer, an clothes iron, and a dog, and a dog house, and a backyard..
yes man, some people never get the vibe of wandering with the minimum, it's a rare blessing to know when it's enough 🙏
@@glidentity yes, that is true, there are toilets literally everywhere, you dont find many in the middle of the night though.
This little car is so cute and genius.
Cool camper, wish we had this in the U.S. can't wait for your next video.
It is so convenient in this time of misery to have a home on wheels,cheap and well furnished.
I camp with an RV in the US and I love seeing the similarities and differences! Mine is comparatively HUGE (33 feet or 10.6 meters long) but I have also sat in mine & thought “this little world inside is wonderful.” I look forward to seeing all of your trips!

Beautifully made small camper. Enjoy!
I love how it has subtitles, thank you
This is the cutest camper ever! Well done on your purchase and thank you for the introduction to it :)
I love how there is a seat belt on the living space bench in the back. Being the passenger on a road trip would be so comfy.
Best thing I've seen in a long time. That on top op of a trusty Daihatsu platform.
I remember the excitement of getting our first travel trailer and I could feel that with you too!
Nice introduction. Thank you for the explanations. Your rate of speach along with the English subtitles, makes it very easy to follow along and enjoy. Good luck with your adventures.
Awesome, there's a surprising amount of space in this little thing
yeah, i think so, too.. It'soneof the best tiny camper van I've ever seen... head and shoulders above all the tiny vans I have watched on youtube..
Love this camper. I’d love to have one here in the United States. That’s an amazing camper.
Good luck getting it adapted to driving on the right.
@@andrzej2501 there is a way to convert rh to lh drive 😅
@@zodiac-x91l you can also just leave it like it is and drive it that way, it’s a mild inconvenience at the most. :-)
Good for you Coupy! Enjoy the Camping/RV life!
I would absolutely buy something like this in the USA, IF it was capable of comfortably cruising at 70mph and got 35 mpg. Beautiful rig! Thank you for your review!!!
Do you think 35mpg is good? I’d be devastating if my car got less than 45 to the gallon. 😂
The smart spaces and transformations are wonderful, I love it, please keep the good work, congratulations! greetings from México
I love this, I love small cozy spaces as long as they’re not too claustrophobic
You did a great job on your video - informative & well filmed 👍🏻
Japan is the best country for so many reasons and this is one of them, forward thinking engineering
Are you a Professional Car Reviewer. If not you should be! A great review, I liked the preview introduction. Then following review, exterior, interior shots. Informative, detailed demonstrations of all the features. Clear, concise, well done English subs. Again, you have compiled a great review. Kind Regards

It looks so awesome!!! I've found a very old (1983), and very used Mitsubishi camper for a relatively low price (6K € ) and I'm considering buying it once I've saved enough (halfway there), and it'll need a massive restoration effort, but it's tiny and looks nice!
I really wish K-Campers were available in Greece!!!
technically, they are. you just need to work with a japanese company to export one from japan. No wonder there is a 6 month waiting list for new ones, they're becoming really popular little cars.

Great! However, this is very important, how quickly does the engine charge up the battery for charging and using the electrical outlets? How much electricity can you use without turning on the engine to recharge, and does it recharge quickly?
This is the real future of vehicles that singles will need in future. 🚌
May all your adventures be rewarding and full of memories.

This little truck is so cool, I love it, I want one, thank you for your video it has inspired me.
Awesome! What an amazing and adorable vehicle! Can't wait to see more of your videos.
Tiny, compact but everything you need for a little camping trip.
I missed the bathroom but I was scrolling...
You have to buy a bigger one if you want a bathroom.
That feeling when this small K-camper has 4WD transmission while a lot of crossovers are only 2WD…
"Let's check the second floor"-WHAT?! This is such an adorable car.
