“The continental motorhome culture firmly established in Europe and North America is truly the epitome of ‘freedom and whimsy.’ Offering a profound experience of automotive travel, it enriches life in a truly flavorful way. Motorhomes, also known as campervans, which began production in the 1930s, have become deeply ingrained in European and North American lifestyle cultures over the past century. In recent times, there are numerous camping car-specific apps like ‘BritStops’ providing information about places where motorhomes can park. The motto ‘Follow your instincts, follow your heart, think about the destination while traveling’ perfectly encapsulates the continental essence of travel. It has become an essential item that significantly expands the joy of traveling by campervan.

The ‘culture of actively enjoying campervans’ has undergone a dramatic transformation in recent years, mirroring lifestyle changes in Japan. The pandemic a few years ago led to a surge in people actively enjoying outdoor life. Various camping gear saw explosive popularity, and the presence of campervans, providing the freedom to travel easily and extensively, has gained significant attention as the hottest way to enjoy automobiles in this era. Nowadays, campervans of various sizes are seen frequently on highways and at ‘Michi no Eki’ (Roadside Stations) nationwide. Families and pets can travel without hesitation, enjoying a journey free from the constraints of time and weather.

Finally, the campervan culture, similar to that in European and Western countries, is starting to spread within Japan, becoming one of the styles of travel.

Moreover, what was once primarily used by enthusiasts as an ‘RV (Recreation Vehicle)’ has evolved significantly under new perspectives. With the widespread availability of internet infrastructure facilities, represented by 5G environments, and the diversity of telecommuting options, campervans have gained immense attention for ‘workation,’ where people actively move to suburban areas, away from concentration zones, to work creatively in environments they love. Additionally, the potential for campervans to be utilized as ‘mobile offices’ has expanded under this new value system. Not to forget, the ability to serve as a ‘movable evacuation shelter’ in times of disasters, showcasing a significant departure from being merely a ‘camping tool’ to an ‘essential item for life support.’

The 1998 Toyota Hiace Cruising Cabin X featured here is a manufacturer-modified catalog model based on the H100 series Hiace. The enthusiast owner, who had been dedicated to work for many years, purchased this vehicle four years ago as a ‘life-raising’ companion. However, due to unforeseen changes in life stages, the owner reluctantly decided to let go of this cherished vehicle.

This unique H100 series Hiace Cruising Cabin X, found in excellent condition in a well-known camping car specialty store, underwent thorough maintenance and has been brought to its best condition in recent years. Despite the impending decision to part with the vehicle, the owner exudes an aura of someone who has taken great care of the vehicle throughout the years. Throughout the interview, there was no apparent sense of ‘letting go,’ and the owner shared anecdotes about their beloved car with humor and a continuous smile.

As you read through this manuscript, I hope you can appreciate the charm of the H100 series Hiace Cruising Cabin and the owner’s heartfelt sentiments. It is only through a genuine connection with a sincere owner who shares the same feelings that the decision to let go can be truly confirmed.”
