【Car Stay】 It's like home! A super long van conversion over 5m in length <Osaka Camping Car Fair 2025>

The prototype of the new Annex van conversion "Arte6" will be showcased for the first time at the "Osaka Camping Car Fair 2025" happening this weekend. Let's take a closer look at the interior that has piqued our interest.

The new camper "Arte 6" is born

Based on the Nissan Caravan, the new camper "Arte 6" (Arte Six) features a narrow body, high roof, and super long specification. The name "Arte" means art in Italian and Spanish, expressing the journey itself as "moving art".

Spacious area with ample storage

With a total length of 5080 mm, a width of 1695 mm, and a height of 2285 mm, it offers a spacious interior. There is no sense of oppression, and it can accommodate ample luggage for the family. The "Cooler Package Plus 2" is equipped with a large lithium-ion battery for power storage, an inverter, a 12V cooler external power socket, a household outlet-compatible power socket, and insulation processing. Additionally, up to two 250W thin solar panels can be added as an option.

Above the sideways three-seat, there is a storage shelf that allows organized storage of clothes and small items. It has also been made easier to load long items like skis and fishing rods. Under the third seat, a portable toilet can be stored, making it reassuring for trips with children. The electrical equipment is also well-equipped, making it perfect for long family trips.

Stylish interior with Scandinavian design

The interior features a bright and calm atmosphere with a Scandinavian design based on light gray. To the right of the entrance, there is a single multi-seat that can be adjusted to face forward, backward, or flat, making it perfect for relaxing.

The sideways three-seater comes with a two-point safety belt. If all the seats are laid flat, it transforms into a spacious area where two adults and one child can sleep comfortably.

The kitchen has a round sink with a lid that can also be used as a counter when not in use. The magnetic faucet can be removed for use outside the vehicle. Above the cooking counter, there is a towel hanger and a microwave, while below it is a 58L refrigerator, storage space, and fresh and wastewater tanks (12L each). It's reminiscent of home, making it possible to travel as if living in a camper van.

Two available cooler packages

In the camper van, electricity is used just like at home to power the cooler, lights, microwave, and more. It is equipped with a "lithium-ion battery" to store electricity and an "inverter" to convert it. This time, there are two types available: "Cooler Package Plus" and "Cooler Package Plus 2." Particularly the latter is a higher model that can store more electricity and provide powerful energy, which will be handy for long-term trips.

I want to embark on a journey to create an art of travel that is uniquely ours with my family in the "Arte 6"!
