In Brief

At the Japan Camping Car Show 2026 in Makuhari, Direct Cars unveiled two new caravans: the lightweight Nomadoa for motorcycle transport and the tech-forward Aquila360N. The RT-35T from Three Seven also premiered, featuring a patented folding drawbar.

From January 30 to February 2, 2026, the Japan Camping Car Show 2026 is being held at Makuhari Messe in Chiba. Several new caravan models made their debuts at the event.

Nomadoa — lightweight caravan for motorcyclists

Direct Cars presented its first lightweight caravan (trailer), the Nomadoa. Inspired by the KATANA series, it is designed for narrow roads. The caravan features a pop-up roof, a kitchen with a sink and stove, a refrigerator, foldable beds, and an optional air conditioner. Its key feature is a rear ramp for loading a small motorcycle. The concept is "Compact Nomadism."

Aquila360N — automotive-grade technology

Direct Cars also showcased the Aquila360N for the first time. Its body is made of aluminum using automotive stamping technology, enhancing rigidity and safety. Equipment includes smart windows with adjustable tinting, a power rear door, and automatic stabilizers. Inside, there is a U-shaped sofa.

RT-35T — safety and patented drawbar

Three Seven from Fukuoka, in collaboration with Lloyd's, developed the RT-35T caravan. Built from scratch to Japanese standards, it focuses on weight distribution and 3D aerodynamic calculations. In December 2025, a patent was granted for the folding A-frame drawbar mechanism, which reduces the trailer's overall length by 900 mm when parked.

Japan Tightens Oversight on Overloaded Trailers and Special Vehicles

Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism is strengthening measures against overloading of trailers and other special vehicles. Data shows 140,000–150,000 overload violations annually from 2021 to 2023, with about 5,000 out of 9,000 offending operators lacking permits. The ministry plans to revise regulations: issue warnings after a first violation for unlicensed vehicles, lower the threshold for administrative guidance from 20 violations in 3 months to 20 in 2 years, and facilitate criminal prosecution when road infrastructure is damaged.
