A van you can live in and still drive: Nissan brings the room on wheels

Nissan will bring two factory versions for overnight stays and short trips to the Tokyo Camping Car Show 2026 — the Caravan MYROOM and the NV200 Vanette MYROOM. According to the brand, the main point of these vehicles is not “camper” styling but an attempt to make the cabin feel like an ordinary room: with wood, convertible furniture and a factory warranty, rather than a set of add-ons from a third-party workshop.

The Caravan MYROOM is built around the idea of “taking your room along for the ride”. There is plenty of wood trim inside, and the second row gets a 2 in 1 seat: once you stop, it quickly turns into a sofa. By combining a bed and a table, the van shifts between uses — from a living room to a bedroom or a small dining space. This is not a full-blown motorhome with a kitchen and bathroom, but a lighter format for those who need a place to sleep without a heavy camper build.

The NV200 Vanette MYROOM is more compact and aimed rather at one or two people. It keeps the same 2 in 1 seat principle, while the 2WD version gets a comfort-tuned suspension. For a city owner that matters more than extra cabinets: the vehicle is easier to park, simpler to use every day and cheaper to run than a large camper.

On the Japanese market these Nissans compete less with pricey motorhomes than with factory and semi-factory solutions based on the Toyota Hiace, compact vans and commercial panel vans. In most other markets the same niche is largely filled by conversions and one-off builds from specialist shops. But the key difference stays the same: with the Nissan MYROOM the buyer gets the vehicle through a dealer, with a warranty and service, rather than a patchwork of private modifications and expensive imports.
