In Russia, series production of a camper based on the LADA NIVA (VIS 2346 modification) has begun. The vehicle features a living module for 2-4 people, including hot water supply, a toilet with shower, a gas stove, and a refrigerator. The frame and suspension have been reinforced, pneumatic elements added to the rear axle, and the final drive ratio changed. Two solar panels provide autonomous power. The project is officially certified.
