Today, I caught a glimpse of an unusual looking motorhome. It looked a little like a B, but appeared to be based on a minivan. Couldn't tell what the make of the minivan was. Has anyone else seen something like this?

I have a minimally converted Sienna without a pop-top.

I've seen lots of mini van conversions, high topped, but I doubt they had any RV stuff in them, the basic conversion package is mostly cosmetic.

Japan makes lots of cool campervans which would be considered minivans by US standards. Here's an example, imported to the UK:

Older Tigers were based on Chevy Astrovan. This mini-van is no longer made and newer Tigers are the CX model, pickup-truck base, which you see in my signature.

My wife was looking at longer version of these for her to take to work and well as go away for a weekend. Beats Camping.

And then there is us who really RV in a conversion van. I have for years in a customized 15 year old GMC Vandura 2500 by Tiara with additions by me.
