Minivan -based compact camper ... Suddenly traveling with your dog [Japan Camping Car Show 2022]

Citroen Berla Lango -based camper "Berlango Soleil" (White House)

"Japan Camper Car Show 2022" was held at Makuhari Messe for four days from February 10. Various camping cars were exhibited at the venue in both size and equipment. The category called "full conversion (full conversion)" with a shower and toilets has a price of over 10 million yen, and it can be said to be a "moving house." While looking at the related images, a compact and inexpensive model based on a mini car was also on display. There are various options according to lifestyle and needs. Among them, it will be easier for users who want to enjoy their dogs and nature with a passenger car or a miniban -based model. I would like to introduce some such cars. ◆ White House, which sells convenient imported cars and Honda cars in plus alpha, produces camper cars mainly based on passenger cars. "I like passenger cars," said Yujiro Sakai of the Camper Division. The feature is that the convenience of going out by leisure is added as a plus alpha for everyday ease of use. A model that the company calls a compact campper is easy to choose even for beginners. The "Deck One" based on the Honda "Step Wagon" allows you to sit in face to the second row seat by rotating the front seat. If you use an optional table, you will be able to enjoy your family as a dining space. The second and third row seats are completely flat, and are also considering the comfort at bedtime. ◆ A wealth of options and bass models are also equipped with a variety of refrigerators, and a “indoor galley” with a microwave oven and storage. The bed space is a bit sacrificed, but it will be a nice equipment for users who do not. The galley also contains a gas stove for camping. Open the rear door, slide behind, and pull it out to the outside of the car. There are plenty of options such as pop -up roofs that can secure space for two adults to sleep, and heaters that operate independently from the engine, so you can choose specifications that match your preference. A compact campper based on passenger cars (minivans), which seems to be comfortable, including everyday and extraordinary, including driving, can be said to be one of the easy -to -use choices for ordinary dogs. In addition to the step wagon, there are Toyota "Noah / Voxy / Esquire" and Honda "Fried +". The company's strengths are also implementing imported car sales businesses, with flat beds and pop -up roofs on the French Peugeot Lifter and Citroen Bell Lango. ◆ Minivan -based car -based night model ATOZ (ATUZ) also exhibited affordable models based on commercial minivans. "Anna Model E", which is based on Mazda's "Bongo", is positioned as a "simple and reasonable car in a car." The original "A-SMART sheet" is attached after the second row. You can arrange three patterns: "living mode" where five people sit face -to -face, "drive mode" during driving, and "flat mode" where two adults sleep. This model has two variations in addition to the standard specifications. "Lift -up custom" is dressed up with a roof carrier, over fender, off -road -oriented aluminum wheels and tires, as it increases the height of the lift -up. On the contrary, "Low Down Custom" has been reduced in height and is sporty with body aero parts, painting, and aluminum wheels. ◆ High roof specifications are well equipped, and Anna has a high roof specification called "Model M". It is said that the ceiling part is also used as a bed for children as well as a sense of openness. It is equipped with a sub -battery, and is equipped with a sink, a refrigerator, and a charging socket. There is also a storage place, and it can be said that it is for users who seek not only in the car but also for the convenience of camping cars. In travels accompanied by dogs, there are cases where you can find a place to stay or take care of your surroundings while traveling. Nevertheless, there are many dog ​​lovers who feel high hurdles such as full -fledged camper cars, such as price and handling during driving. A compact model that is easy to use even in everyday life will expand your options for a handy trip in the car.
