Toyota Hiace ZARA: motorhome revived after ten years

Japanese company Toy Factory has relaunched the ZARA motorhome based on the Toyota Hiace Wide Body Middle Roof. The model had been absent from the lineup for about ten years: sales of the first generation ended in October 2016 due to changed safety requirements. The new version seats five, drops the third row and features a revised layout with a convertible bed (up to 2210 mm long, 1200 mm wide), a kitchen module with sink and refrigerator, an optional waterless Clesana X1 toilet and a 1408 Wh battery expandable to 2816 Wh.

Route Six turns small Daihatsu van into two-story camper

At the Tokyo Camping Car Show 2026, Route Six unveiled the Conffy II POP, a converted Daihatsu Atrai with a pop-up roof that adds two sleeping berths. The standard Conffy seats four passengers but only two can sleep; the pop-up section solves this.

Three interior variants are available; the show model is the Conffy II with pop-up roof.
