Just When You Thought You’d Seen Everything
The Prius “Relax Cabin” by Camp-Inn of Japan has received a tremendous amount of press since the Tokyo Auto Salon in January of 2012.
Inspired by the popular Toppola (www.toppola.com) bolt-on camper shells, made for Saabs, this camper mod has been universally panned for being ugly— a position that I vehemently disagree with!
I think this is a great idea and give a tremendous amount of credit to the people who came up with the idea.
Features include a two-person sleep area with sunroof on the upper level and a sofa that folds down into a second bed on the lower level.
The transformation also includes a rear suspension upgrade to support the extra weight.
While I think it’s doubtful that any Priuses will get shipped to Japan for this modification perhaps some enterprising shop on the west coast will consider coming up with something similar.
Want to know more? Check out their website:
Click the button that says “Space Shuttle” when you get there if you’d like to view photos.
Current cost for the Prius RV is ¥4,599,000, or US$45,990—which includes the cost of the vehicle.
In order to utilize most of the website you’ll need to be able to read Japanese— but if you’re a Prius true believer that’s probably already on your to-do list. ;o)
And if you’re just dying to read all about it but haven’t gotten around to learning Japanese, yet, Google Translate does a pretty fair job of converting entire webpages to the language of your choice.
Be sure to bring your sense of humor with you!
