A motorhome based on the 2019 Ford Transit has been introduced, designed for transporting a motocross motorcycle. The interior includes sleeping areas, a dining zone, and storage systems, and after unloading the bike, the cabin converts into living space. The manufacturer provides delivery, installation, chassis diagnostics, electrical system hookup, and a three-year warranty on the work. Growing demand is noted for minimalist motorhomes with the ability to carry equipment.

It includes a kitchen, bedroom, toilet, heating and water supply that operate without external connections. The manufacturer offers delivery, installation, chassis inspection and a three-year warranty, as well as custom designs.
A motorhome built on the Toyota Tundra pickup has been presented on the Russian market, aimed at anglers planning multi-day trips. The design includes a large-capacity refrigerator for the catch, a tap for servicing the boat motor, and a compartment for an inflatable boat. The pop-up roof keeps the vehicle compact while driving and expands space when parked. The price of such a motorhome may exceed that of standard campers, which the manufacturer attributes to the Toyota Tundra's high payload and reliability.
