Japanese manufacturer Flott Mobile builds camper vans on Town Ace base for daily use

A member of the tetu channel embarked on a spontaneous trip in a DIY camper van converted from a light truck, with only 5,000 yen in hand. The route went from Kumamoto to Kagoshima, where she visited several fishing ports, had lunch at a local restaurant, and slept in the vehicle. Despite catching no fish, she enjoyed hot springs and a homemade dinner.

Moto Megane portal compiled a list of 18 roadside stations (michi-no-eki) in the Tohoku region suitable for overnight car stays. Stations were selected based on availability of hot springs, dining options, and tourist attractions.

IPF has introduced an updated Rear Window Guard for the Suzuki Jimny (JB64/JB74), now also compatible with the Nomad variant. The steel panel protects the rear glass from cargo impact, allows mounting accessories via M8 eye nuts, and provides privacy for overnight stays. Installation is bolt-on with no body modifications, and it supports digital rearview mirrors and dashcams.
