Tnx honey,this girl just chit chat from the beginning even he stand on the windscreen like decades

[@ambroseabellair5306]

Thank you, this guy just talks too much, lets get to the view

[@ApexPredatorWithSungGlasses]

That looks like a small camper, but man, three beds + shower room + cooking area + access at the front. Now that's one cozy camper van. Sure it doesn't have much room compared to a 2020 Mercedes camper truck, but this definitely has more bed. Man whoever got that van is one lucky guy.

[@nealrcn]

I had one when living in the UK. Loved it ran forever no problems.

[@gazd239475y]

Richard Neal Where did you buy it from? I’ve recently been looked at campervans and this would be perfect.

[@nealrcn]

@@gazd239475y I had an import company in Leeds that specialized in importing Japanese cars.

I wish they'd sell them in America. American rvs are expensive and poor quality.

[@DeadeyeLefty]

14:35 Yikes ! That's not a 'rip' in the liner, it's where water has been leaking in from the roof seam and it's worse on the other side (18:37). The water in the plywood has dissolved the glue used to hold the vinyl on, creating a blister that subsequently cracks. You could grab the vinyl there and peel it off in big pieces because it's not stuck to the backing. It's too late now for the new owner but, if anyone sees that in a camper they're looking at, it's a project rig and should be priced accordingly. It's progressed quite a bit to get to where you can see it, but that's something you learn only through experience. If you're not prepared to open up the corner and replace the rotten wood, run away. If it's built the way North American motorhomes are, the fact that it's in the same place on both sides means it's probably from the seam where the tin roof that curves around to make the 'nose' meets the plywood roof of the coach. I get that you don't normally deal with motorhomes, but that's a deal breaker right there. Honestly, if I were the new owner seeing that for the first time in this vid, I'd be pissed. That's an expensive repair job because of the time involved.

[@Peppermint1]

These are bought off auctions, I think he even mentions in another video that's a huge risk and basically a gambling. Considering how old these are, to me such purchase is a big project. A used regular car is already a big project with a gazillion parts that can go wrong, an RV is going to add appliances, walls, roof, doors, windows, plenty of cabling, switches, ducts and accessories to the list. I guess not everyone realizes how many things can go wrong - we rather like to judge by the way it looks and by the dream of going in a trip.

[@DerZwerg811]

[@DerZwerg811]

a normal life is overvalued...

[@andxx0r_the_second671]

When you said it was using a Toyota forklift engine, I gasped in terror that this beast might be using the same Toyota Y engine as my '87 Toyota Van (USDM townace) which is way smaller than this and can barely get out of it's own way. The US Toyota forklifts still run the 4Y engine to this day. But, I looked up the chassis number and this one appears to run a 1RZE engine, like certain older HiLux and HiAce models. Makes sense.

[@jo3_8000]

It's so great to travel along with this camper vehicle.

[@dommm111]

Wow, a Toyota. That's a very dependable truck right there

[@FirstLastOne]

11:55 This video was shot in 2018 and you said the tires were 2016 and then said they were good for another 10 years making them 12 years old by the end of life but you really shouldn't be using tires past 7 years. Rubber whether you use the vehicle a lot or not will age and become hard and brittle. If you want to learn the hard way what life is worth, take chances with your tires. You only live once.

[@AiRsTrIkE3]

If you export a large vehicle like this with many locked boxes and no key, will customs ever break the locks to look in them, or is the x Ray good enough for them?

[@jordanlittle5391]

I think between dogs and xray most of the time your fine but there's always that one case

[@erroleabrown4317]

I really like that one, the bunks were a surprise, thanks so much for the video, l hope you have a nice day to.

[@annieb.869]

I'd love to have one like that but with the steering wheel on the left side. Why don't they sell those here in Canada with the driver on the left side? Why do we have to have only big things here?

[@ali_el_baba3665]

Because this is an old car which wasnt meant to be outside of japan. It got imported later.

[@rogeralvarado6060]

I like the RV I wouldn't mind getting my hands on one can they be imported to California great video great review good job thank you take care be safe

[@michaelfedorsha8147]

Does anyone know what these typically sell for?? In U.S dollars

[@clarity2199]

Ha, you're thinking kid size, you're not thinking Japanese size. They're actually smaller, so this camper would probably fit a Japanese family quite comfortably.

[@evgenysumets]

Hi, tell me how much ton it weighs and how much cargo can be loaded into this car, how many kilograms? I can't find the information anywhere

[@arttafil6792]

As for the power of the engine for the vehicle you have to understand the lower speed limits on Japanese roads.

[@jeffsan8227]

I'm coming to Japan after I win a lottery 🤣😂🤣😂✌️ then I will buy that van🖤🖤🖤

[@davidbrown8303]

a lot of people in America live their campers. I hope it won't be my future but that being said people who do depend a lot on how reliable they are. a small engine I'm not sure how it would hold up climbing hills.

[@QuinnGIn1080p]

You didn't tell us about all that damage 18:30

[@Modzilla32]

@@InfernosReaper That's water damage

[@FM60260]

Are the rear seat belts attached to the frame of the vehicle? I think this may only be allowed to carry 3 people in the UK due to the way the rules are, although information on this tends to vary.

Whats the top speed of these things? Are they like Hijets and other mini trucks that can only do 65mph/110KMh? in that case they wouldnt survive our 100KPH highways for long if your revving it out at 4000rpm or 3000rp, for the diesels

[@Mr.PudgeMuffin]

@@MrTeutje303 any idea of what rpms? And are they geared differently than the truck variants? (Nissan 720/D21 or toyota truck chassis)

[@MrTeutje303]

I wouldn't worry too much about it though. I found that the engine was great and more than adequate for the application. I wouldn't drive this thing much over 100 kph anyway. Even on fairly steep mountain roads in Japan, I had no trouble. That being at lower speeds of course.
