Saw this on TV the other day - thanks to Cyber for the find. A van that transforms into a house which these guys used to travel around Japan. Original text from Cyberchaos below.Quick summary: 3 Japanese high school mates want to go on a year-long road trip - Hokkaido up north to Yakushima down south. Find out that there is not enough sleeping space when filled with gear, so they decide to custom build their own with a mid-80s Toyota truck base. The build took 2 years, but with every comfort necessary. Comes with: Transforming roof to accommodate a 4 tatami sleeping area (Top) Kitchen and dining area A retractable porch/deck Bathroom with a decent sized bath, shower equipment and western style toilet Here is a vid of the roof in action: They are now selling the truck for a mere $5,500 Please visit their Official site for photos of the build process and the trip. (WARNING: Severe engrish ahead) Found on: Japanese Nostalgic Car Blog NeatoramaView the full sized images/comments for this item at dannychoo.com Feel free to join/add Danny Choo and see what else the little bugger is up to in his other networks.
