One can only wonder how the Japanese developers of OKA Motor Company manage to make comfortable mobile homes out of the smallest vans on the planet. If it's hard to imagine how a tiny 3.4 m long without a lifting roof can be turned into a functional home, where graceful adventurers (up to three people) can not only relax sitting at the table, but also sleep in comfortable conditions and even cook dinners, we suggest looking inside the “cruise ship” called Suzuki Every van.
Fans of traveling not with a whole caravan, but with a small company, will appreciate the new Oka Cozy micro-camper from OKA Motor Company. Although this is not the first camper model released by a well-known company, but in the development of the Oka Cozy baby, its specialists have stepped far ahead to make the camper a truly cozy mobile home for two or three travelers, without modifying its design and without adding a lift roof.
Interesting fact: The transformation began with the decision to remove one of the two rear seats to make room for the introduction of additional equipment and expanding the capabilities of the camper itself. Now the capacity of Oka Comfort Cozy at the time of movement is only three people, but all of them can be accommodated for the night. Of course, three heroes will not be able to spend the night in it, but if this is a young family with a small child or a couple of friends who are avid fishermen, then in it they will be able not only to relax from the road, but also to sleep well, and even cook a delicious dinner or a hearty breakfast before expensive. It's hard to believe, but the camper has a real kitchen, which is a necessary element for a comfortable life during long trips. And the most amazing thing is that almost all the necessary zones fit inside a tiny micro-van, the length of which does not exceed 3.4 m (for comparison: VAZ-2101, popularly known as "Kopeyka", has length 4.073 m).
One chair was sacrificed for the introduction of a kitchen unit, which is installed along the entire length of the camper up to the driver's seat. In addition to the fact that the kitchen is a necessary element for a good rest, it has become an important multifunctional element on which the entire design and transformation of the residential part is based van.
Despite the fact that the kitchen unit looks quite minimalist, it is endowed with significant additional possibilities thanks to several drawers, extensions and transforming elements. Under the side tabletop, for example, there is room for a microwave oven, a couple of drawers for storing both food and cutlery, as well as a minimum set of kitchen utensils. During a stop, when travelers leave their seats in the cabin, you can extend the bar, which can become a dining table.
Part of the countertop has lifting mechanisms that provide access to a hidden rectangular sink where you can wash your hands, meat, fish, vegetables / fruits. But the 18-liter top-loading refrigerator can be accessed both from inside the van, only by lifting the hinged lid, and by pushing it from the side of the open rear door. A sliding panel is also provided under it, which can serve as a table for installing a hob, however, you will have to cook on the street. Outside the Oka Cozy van, you can also arrange an outdoor shower, you just need to install a long hose with a watering can on the sink tap, which is located at the back of the van.
In fairness, it should be noted that the functionality of the kitchen corner is not limited to these possibilities. The robust design of the fixed tops is the basis for a single bed, which can be arranged by pulling out several panels, hidden under the tabletop, placing an air mattress and setting a limiter so that the sleeper cannot fall on the heads of those who are resting on sofa. Considering the already increased dimensions of the tabletop (177 x 56 cm), it is easy to assume that either a very tiny passenger or a child can sleep on such a bed.

The main bed is obtained from a multifunctional and transforming sofa, which occupies the opposite side from the kitchenette. Removable cushions and mobile support boxes allow you to create multiple layouts using only a sofa bed. If you bend the front seats forward, and move the cushions from the back to the support panels that slide out of the kitchen cabinet, you get a fairly comfortable bed of 85 x 182 cm.
The only thing missing from the Oka Comfort Cozy model is a toilet. But even such an optimized space is not rubber and it was not possible to cram everything into a van, so travelers will have to arrange overnight stays in specially equipped parking lots. Although there is still a drinking water tank, it can be used for cooking, washing and showering.
And with everything else, there will be no interruptions. In order to provide travelers with electricity and give them the opportunity to work at a computer or watch TV, under the frame of the sofa there is a double battery with a capacity of 85 Ah and an inverter with a power 1500 W. If the owner of the micro-van wishes, he can exchange it for a 200 Ah lithium battery.
According to the authors of Novate.ru, an improved version of the Comfort Cozy miniature van, measures 340 x 148 x 190 cm (L x W x H), launched in February this year. The base cost is announced on the company's website - it is about 28.3 thousand rubles. USD The price of the 4WD model starts from 29.4 thousand rubles.
Two well-known automotive companies Mercedes-Benz and Airstream have teamed up to create ultra-comfortable camper to provide its customers with unforgettable trips in luxurious surroundings.
