【MICRO CAMPER】I bought a very small camper (K-camper) in Japan 

Japan is the most macho civilized society in the world. Talking about objects

Yeah, they rarely sugar coat

Yes, I also saw this site which the guy has made practical additions to a similar mini campervan. Have a look here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-R1AokJ9lmP8.html It's called a K-Camping Car "Balocco" ? But looks very similar...

I agree ! Kei cars must be selling in EU ! I 'll buy one at once ! I love it too !

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.

huge market in United States as well. Not sure why we're not seeing these over here.

Not at that price

@@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

Bit too tiny for most Europeans. Bed too short. 182cm is very short

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.

@@kamilpotato3764 but the 'Second floor' bed was 210cm. so viable

Excellent. Lovely little motorhome.

Great car though I wouldn't fit in too easily with my 192cm.

Exactly what i was thinking.

Imagine having a group of friends who could all afford 30k us dollars...

Just buy a bigger vehicle and split the gas and all other expenses, its greener too haha

Imagine having a friend...

Sounds so cute

I like small

I join the previous speaker John from Canada and greet everyone from Germany from my caravan. It's just three degrees Celsius outside, but the weather is great. The sky is clear and starry.

people just love watching people who can live in their vehicles. I feel like it strikes some sort of desire in us to escape and meets the realms of possibility.

@@Hessi aha He isnt John is a meme. John Hammond was the old man in Jurassic Park

@@cIeetz Oh what? Really? I've only seen Jurassic Park, like, twenty times. You're so smart! Then I'm sure you can tell me what his real name is. Or how the fuck else I should address him, "Switcha". I'm also pretty sure that your parents didn't call you "Switcha" and that my surname isn't Hessi. Welcome to the internet. Everything must be new and exciting for you here.

@@Hessi If you are so ''experienced'' with the internet, you ought to know the basics. ''the previous speaker John from Canada'' is commonly referred to as the OP. On social media sites, OP usually stands for "original poster" or "original post." The person who creates a post that others are now replying to, or that first post itself, is the OP. So don't go being all nasty and patronizing when there is more evidence of you yourself being new to the internet.

As long as you are not over 6 ft tall.

Agree

For this price, you can get a brand new full size camping car, or 4 high end custom made camper vans...

why you can't?

There are A LOT of people who would love european/japanese vans in USA

I do too but american needs are for bigger cars and fact our roads are bigger. I can see european market do well with this.. from the small roads.

@@meh4062 because people is bigger.. as in WallE

@@meh4062 No, it won't pass European safety regulations. Van designs such as this were phased out in the 90s. The front crumple zone is literally the footwell.

@@meh4062 why do Americans need bigger things? It's weird

In my country that ban Would cost 100,000 🤭

I mean it’s alright since it’s new, but you could get a 25 ft rv with a bedroom and open style floorplan

It's 10,000 km isn't it? Not new. He even says "it smells like a new car" because that surprised him.

@@truthalonetriumphs6572 that’s like almost 2 oil changes not even a air filter change that’s practically new, less than 5% of most cars full lifespans

Where to use the bathroom, too?

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.

^^

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.

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.

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?

Good luck getting it adapted to driving on the right.

@@andrzej2501 there is a way to convert rh to lh drive 😅

@@johnlesterpana9693 you can also just leave it like it is and drive it that way, it’s a mild inconvenience at the most. :-)

Lovely, isn't it! (However, I would probably be afraid to drive on the roads in the US...too many angry leadfoots in big ugly trucks, like here in Aussie.)

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

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!
