A camper based on a 2018 Toyota Land Cruiser 79 features autonomous life-support systems and a direct passage from the driver's cab into the living area. It includes a kitchen, bedroom, toilet, heating and water supply that operate without external connections. The manufacturer offers delivery, installation, chassis inspection and a three-year warranty, as well as custom designs.

A motorhome built on the Toyota Tundra pickup has been presented on the Russian market, aimed at anglers planning multi-day trips. The design includes a large-capacity refrigerator for the catch, a tap for servicing the boat motor, and a compartment for an inflatable boat. The pop-up roof keeps the vehicle compact while driving and expands space when parked. The price of such a motorhome may exceed that of standard campers, which the manufacturer attributes to the Toyota Tundra's high payload and reliability.

Dmitry Popov, an expert from a working group under the Russian government, has proposed creating an urban campsite for motorhome tourists in St. Petersburg. He suggested a site with utility hookups could be located in Shushary near the metro station. The city's Parking Management Center said it plans to study the demand for such parking. Several motorhome campsites already operate in the city, including in Ozerki, Lisy Nos and Vasileostrovsky District, with overnight rates of 1,500–1,700 rubles.

The Smolny administration is developing a concept for placing campsites on city parking lots. The City Parking Management Center is surveying automotive communities in St. Petersburg about the need for conditions for motorhomes, caravans, and non-standard travel vehicles. The goal is to create conditions for safe and comfortable parking of such vehicles on lots managed by the institution. Specific addresses and conditions are not yet defined, but parking is expected to be paid.
