A house that moves! Dream vehicle , campervan to an extraordinary world.

. I have longed to own a campervan, but it has always been a bit far away from me. However, if you take the plunge and get one, you will enjoy a freedom you have never experienced before. No luxury hotel can compete with the special experience of having your own lodgings in every place you go. Here, we feature the Winnebago, a name synonymous with such a camper. Stepping inside the Winnebago, we found ourselves in an exciting landscape that we have seen in American movies in the past. (This article is reprinted from "Huynem Unplugged Vol. 12" magazine.)

Campers being reviewed due to changes in the Corona disaster.

The changes in the Corona Disaster are too numerous to mention, but under the new keyword of "not being dense," the way we enjoy our leisure time is changing as well.

As a result, more and more people are finding new hobbies, such as starting a balcony garden, getting into cooking, running, mountain climbing, and so on. One of the most popular hobbies is camping. Even on weekdays, campgrounds are crowded with campers. This may be due to the fact that campers can enjoy a moderate distance from others and the open-air environment.

Among these changes, the biggest change has probably been in the area of travel. Assuming that you avoid density as much as possible, it has become a bit more difficult to take long-distance trains and airplanes, and your options for lodging have also narrowed. . It is not easy to travel abroad anymore. Under these circumstances, it was a natural progression for people to pay attention to campervans.

The interior has a strong American 70's feel. The interior is almost entirely original. , including the thick corduroy sofa .

The music player is a cassette tape as it was in those days . . The cassette tape jackets of the foreign editions are really clever as interior accessories.

. The area around the driving seat is also as it was in the 70's. . . Modern devices are convenient, but they can't bring out this flavor.

Gas stove and other equipment are all from that time. GSI percolator ¥6,600, cup ¥1,000, plate ¥1,400, bowl ¥1,200, Pendleton cutlery with case set ¥2,400 (all from A&F), Kalita coffee mill ¥8,000 (Kalita), Eugen hot sand maker ¥8,000 (Eugen Foundry) Eugen hot sandwich maker ¥8,000 (Eugen Foundry)

On nice days, one can climb up on the roof top and relax. A rack can be retrofitted in the rear to increase the load capacity . . even for long road trips. The "Brave" is one of Winnebago's most popular models, and while it has undergone some shape changes, it is still a very long seller, with new models being introduced even today.
