This is a one-of-a-kind Japanese Kei truck camper! I built this tiny but mighty RV myself from scratch while living in Okinawa Japan and moved it to Washington with me when I returned. I know every little thing about it and can give you a full rundown on every detail: inside, outside, and within the walls. This is not my first build, I did a Skoolie before this that I lived in for a year, so this is a quality build with attention to detail.

The Camper can easily be rolled onto the bed of the included 1999 Suzuki Carry Kei truck in about 15 minutes. The truck has 111,000km, automatic transmission, push-button 4WD, a turbo, wireless Android Auto/CarPlay, and air bag suspension to easily handle the extra weight of the Camper. The truck also gets 35-45mpg and the engine was fully rebuilt just a few months ago by a mechanic who specializes in JDM vehicles and I have the receipts. It was built for the tropical Okinawa environment and survived a Typhoon, category 4 hurricane equivalent, with no issues or leaks — multiple layers of waterproofing have held up through everything thrown at it, in the tropics and now the USA.

Camper details: - 4 permanently mounted hand crank 4,000lb jacks - Waterproof Durabek bed liner exterior paint - Fully insulated - Emerson Quiet Kool Air conditioner - 4x100 watt solar panels,100ah lithium battery - 1000w 120v power inverter for 3x AC power outlets and 2x USB outlets - 3-way switch and exterior outlet for shore power w/ battery charger - LED interior and exterior lights - Waterproof storage under the couch with exhaust fan (great for wet gear) - Fold down interior table - Couch pulls out to twin size bed - Painted cedar plank walls - LVP flooring (waterproof) - Bluetooth radio with in-ceiling speakers - Velcro on/off window bug screens - Custom built UV blocking plexiglass windows - Custom built herringbone door with lock and storm latches - Rooftop MaxAir exhaust fan - Custom Shibori curtains, couch cushions, and pillows (dyed in Japan) - Handmade Noren - Air Boss air bag suspension on truck with pump

Price is for both the camper and truck and I will take offers. I did all the hard work and paid all the import fees so it is now fully registered in Washington State, title in hand. Registration is now just the same as any other vehicle. I am willing to sell the Camper without the Kei Truck, but will not sell the Kei Truck without the Camper. Camper is sized to fit on any Kei Truck but I can provide measurements if needed.

(Note: some photos and the linked video show the truck I previously owned, a 2004 Mitsubishi Minicab with yellow license plates. That truck is not included in this sale. The truck that comes with this listing is the 1999 Suzuki Carry with white Washington plates. It is a 1999 not 1980)


Condition & As-Is Disclosure:

This is a 27-year-old kei truck and a hand-built camper, not a showroom vehicle, and I want to be upfront about what that means before you buy.

Known items:

  • The 4 hand-crank jacks work and hold the camper securely, but they have some wobble/play in them. Fully functional, just not brand-new-tight.
  • There is some rust in the truck bed, typical for a vehicle of this age. Not structural, but present and visible.
  • Like any kei truck, this is a small, light vehicle with a small engine. It's going to be noisier and feel different than a standard American truck or car. If you've never driven or ridden in a kei truck before, expect more road noise, more engine noise, and a different ride feel overall. This is completely normal for the vehicle type, not a defect.
  • As with any 25+ year old vehicle, expect normal age-related sounds (engine, suspension, road noise) that are characteristic of the truck's era and size, not signs of mechanical failure.

I built the camper myself and have receipts for the recent engine rebuild and I'm happy to answer detailed questions, do a video call walkthrough, or accommodate an in-person/third-party inspection before purchase.

This vehicle is sold as-is, with all known issues disclosed above. I want a buyer who goes in with clear eyes and is excited about exactly what this is, not surprised by it. By purchasing, buyer acknowledges they've reviewed this disclosure, the listing photos/video, and (if applicable) inspected the vehicle, and accepts it as-is with no warranty expressed or implied.
