Wellhouse Leisure is no stranger to building small, highly efficient camper vans. Now it's dropping downmarket to launch a micro-camper aboard a Toyota/Daihatsu kei van, and its price tag comes in less than half of what many larger camper vans cost.

Nissan keeps the factory camper vans coming. Its newest is built atop its smallest van, the Clipper kei van, which measures in under 3.4 meters (11.2 feet) long. To make it a micro-camper, Nissan relies on a basic household staple with which everyday DIY handymen have been familiar for ages: pegboard. The van's integrated peg panels serve as a simple, affordable means of holding up the bed and providing highly versatile storage organization for related (and unrelated) outdoor adventures.
