Some years ago, while roaming around the Asakusa section of Tokyo, I spotted a Japanese motorhome. 

It was parked in front of some shops. I took a couple of pictures of it. It was the first time I've ever seen a Japanese RV. 

RV Travel posted an article with video of a Japanese RV. It is a 1998 Toyota Camroad Zil 4 x 4.

A lot of small campers promise clever packaging, but this one backs it up. The 1998 Toyota Camroad Zil by Vantech fits a full RV layout into a 16-foot body that still slips into a normal parking spot.

In the video at the end of this post, we get a tour from its owner, x90Dude.

It starts with a Toyota Dyna truck chassis, adds four-wheel drive, then tops it with a fiberglass camper shell from Japan. The result feels half mini truck, half tiny motorhome, and all of it has a ton of character.
