An article on Yahoo! News details a camper's experience of using a kei truck as a sleeping space during camping trips. The author fits two camp beds under a canopy in the cargo bed, turning it into a bedroom. She says the flat bed allows more gear to be loaded than in a Suzuki Jimny and cuts preparation time. Sleeping in the truck bed is closer to tent camping than to sleeping inside a vehicle and is less affected by uneven ground and moisture. The main drawback is limited space for clothes and valuables, which have to be stored in the cab.
