This rig is the ultimate "cheat code" for camping: it has the off-road capability of a 4x4 truck with the full amenities of a large motorhome, all while being easy to drive on tight trails and city streets.

Why this TownAce RV?
Go-Anywhere Capability: The combination of Diesel + Manual + 4WD is the "holy trinity" for overlanders. It handles snow, sand, and mud with ease.
Full Amenities in a Small Footprint: Most JDM campers this size lack a toilet and shower; this one is fully self-contained yet fits in a standard parking space.
Maintenance: The 2C engine is one of Toyota’s most produced small diesels; parts are accessible, and the mechanical nature means fewer electronics to fail.
Genuine Low Mileage: At just 116k kilometers (72k miles), this drivetrain is just getting started.
