A motorhome owner drove a TOM200 from Kyushu to Kanto starting on 14 October for a first visit home in the vehicle. Over four days the motorhome covered about 1,160 km, mostly on ordinary roads, and the driver spent 16,200 yen on diesel. The first refuelling in Hiroshima cost 151 yen per litre, while motorway fuel in Gifu was 188 yen per litre. Overnight stays were at roadside stations, combined with visits to hot springs.
