i have driven a couple and they are like the old VW bus, for those that are not in a hurry and want to enjoy the country. i would have no issue taking something like this for a 1-2 year trip around the Americas.
Yes, they are interesting vehicles for sure! I once owned a Type 2 bus for a couple of years, had to rebuild the engine completely and do other repairs. Just when I was completing it, chanced upon an older MB modified van/camper with diesel engine, so sold the VW and went with the MB. Too big, too slow, sold it after a couple of years. I regretted later selling the VW, would have liked to give it a try. My daughter wishes she had one to travel around when university is over.
Coming back to those JDM vans/campers: interesting vehicles, were it not for the dreaded RHD issue, and increasing difficulties licensing/insuring those vehicles...
