Touring the World's Smallest Campervan - 1989 Suzuki Super Carry

Meet Bamse, the world's smallest campervan (maybe)! This 1000cc, 40(ish?) horsepower 1989 Suzuki Super Carry is my crazy miniature campervan conversion, and I've used it to tour all over the Scottish Highlands & Islands.

What a lovely young man. I’m in my 70’s and have very happy memories of a 1970’s VW camper van I had for a while in my 50’s. I often wish I still had it, so I fully understand how difficult it is to let something like that go. I sold mine to a young couple who were planning an adventure to the wilds of the west coast (in Canada). I’m sure it went on to provide them much happiness as well. I hope the same for your van. Thanks for bringing back such wonderful memories.

[@seansteede]

Agree fully - I sold my beloved 1991 Delica L200 which I had invested much time and love to build up the way I wished. Sold it to a lovely couple who just graduated University and wanted a rig they could live out of as they did their windsurfing trip down to the Baja prior to settling down and getting "real jobs" - they sent me photos for the next 2 years of their adventures living out of the van. It was so fantastic to see them following through on their dream using the vehicle I had kitted out and this video also brings back many good memories!

I used to work for a company attaching billboards, and the company always had some old cars for the folks who didn´t had their own cars. So one day they came up with this Suzuki. We all were laughing like "This is a toy, not a car to work with." But we were wrong. Everything fitted into that van, even the the biggest fellow worker and the largest ladder. Just a matter of using the room thoughtful.

I see a van with a PSP as the entertainment system along with UMD movies and games, I have to give it respect. As someone with 3 PSPs, almost 300 UMD movies, and almost 400 games, I absolutely love it when the PSP gets love, especially since I use it as a wonderful entertainment setup whenever I travel. My travel bag always has a PSP or two and some UMD movies in it. Can't travel without it.

I usually wouldnt watch a 44 minute video on a camper van - time and work (I have a full time job, and am part-time postgrad student), but this was very enjoyable to watch. Having a Mazda Bongo myself, the tour of your Suzuki was incredble it being a much smaller camper. The level of engineering gone into such a small van to make it into a very practical camper is amazing. I think your video skills and narrative are simply brilliant, theres no unecessary music, just you telling a fantastic story about your amazing camper van. I really empthaise with your 'letting things go' statement as well, my other hobby is amateur radio, and I had a number of older radios, that ment alot to me being the firsts one I had, but I needed to solidfy and simplify my setup, and as much as I wanted to 'keep' the memorys, it was time to pass them onto another good home, rather than the compliexties of operating and maintaing older equipment (which I think is your point about your lovely van, it takes love to keep it going !). Apologies for the really long comment, but this was a brilliant video and cannot thank you enough. I wish you and your family well. Kind Regards, Al.ze.

No need to apologise, I really enjoyed reading your comment! Thanks so much for watching, I think this is definitely my favourite video that I made in 2021 and I'm so glad at the reception it's recieved!

I've long suspected that most down votes are unintentional due to the awkward location of the "thumb's down" icon near the center of the screen and the lack of a subsequent confirmation step. I believe many of them are just folks trying to scroll down on handheld devices and tapping that icon inadvertently. The fact that KZbin removed the display of downvotes stats some while back rather bears that hunch out. It seemed most every video, no matter how inoffensive, was racking up about 1% of views as downvotes almost uniformly--which just says "margin of error" to me.

Some scary moments when being overtaken by road trains, & we would have come off second best if we'd hit a kangeroo!

Beautifully filmed (how do they do it,,?) No shaking around, like people talking while they film on a camera phone! And much sharper filmed, than on a camera zone ! I would personally get claustrophobia in these small motorcaravans, and would HAVE a larger one, for that reason.(,,Not kidding). But an interesting "tour," of his van, with all of his first class storage modifications! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

Great video, best car sales advertisement ever ;-) So much love this little car has gotten from your family. Great to see it has big boy features and smart design. Only thing is i could never imagine to sleep comfortable like that, i would have used an airbed instead.

I always wondered what one of these wee campers is like inside. Now I know. Thanks for the interesting tour.

My wife and I used to tour in a Honda Acty van which we took from Sydney Australia to Adelaide in south Australia, the Acty was a 550cc two cylinder based on the right hand two cylinders of a Honda Goldwing motorcycle.

Greetings from the West of Ireland. So glad your video popped up on my suggested list. Always wanted a closer look into one of these vans. Great video tour, very comprehensive. Very poignant message roughly 40(ish) minutes in, about moving on, letting go, making new memories. Looking forward to watching your video of your grey Fergie as I've always wanted one.
