Plenty of innovation there. The Mazda Bongo has always been popular over here with fans of the small motorhome.

one of them looked like a low profile on a Fiat MH seen through the wrong way with binoculars, the same but tiny.

There's some Mohos on here that could put one of those in their boot as a spare.

I'm very pleased to be driving my Japanese based camper - not quite that cute though.

Having been close up to manufacturing of both European and Japanese vehicles, on the same production line, it's no surprise to listen to the stories of woe with motorhomes based on European vehicles.
Two totally different attitudes to quality.

I think you would be waiting an awful long time. Japanese are very space limited. The reason they build all the small ones is that you don't have anywhere to keep a big one.

Here's a Chinese version AND it's LEZ compliant and doesn't require umweltplakette or French one.

as well as if you don't have a parking space in the cities you can't even buy a car.
How cute is this ... the French version! (Previously posted, still love it)
