Dream Drive Launches Full Custom Campers Using Fiat Ducato

Dream Drive Co., Ltd., headquartered in Komae City, Tokyo, has officially started producing fully customized campers based on the popular Fiat Ducato. This initiative caters to a range of lifestyles, providing bespoke designs that meet the rising demand for long-term vehicle stay, van life, and traveling with pets. Furthermore, as a member of the Japan RV Association, they have established a robust system for repairs and maintenance through partner stores nationwide.

Compact Yet Comfortable Living Spaces

The campers offer a compact yet comfortable living space, perfect for various activities, from working and dining to relaxing, making them suitable for everyday use. The design features ample storage space, accommodating large items such as outdoor gear and luggage needed for extended stays, ensuring a high level of practicality.

Having celebrated its seventh year in business, Dream Drive is committed to enhancing the customization of campers by leveraging their accumulated expertise from manufacturing and selling camper vans. This new service focuses on creating spaces that align perfectly with individual lifestyles, which is challenging with existing standard models.

Rising Demand for Custom Campers

The camper market has seen growth in recent years, with increased demand for vehicles suitable for various activities, including van life, workations, and outdoor activities such as surfing and fishing. As a result, there is a robust shift from purchasing ready-made campers to the desire for custom-tailored solutions that resonate more personally with users.

Why Choose Fiat Ducato?

The Fiat Ducato, popular in Europe, is gaining traction in Japan due to its spacious interior, high design flexibility, and a structure well-suited for extended stays. It stands as an ideal base vehicle for serious camper enthusiasts, thanks to its favorable characteristics like a high roof and long body.

- Layout design (bed, dinette, living area)
- Interior design (wood materials, furniture, finishes)
- Electrical systems (sub-batteries, solar power, air conditioning)
- Kitchen and water systems
- Pet-friendly specifications
