Kebanyakan kendaraan yang disulap jadi kendaraan untuk kemping berasal dari merek Eropa atau Amerika.

Maklum, budaya kemping dengan menggunakan kendaraan sebagai tempat istirahat banyak dilakukan di Eropa dan Amerika sana.

Produsennya juga banyak yang berasal dari Eropa atau Amerika. Tapi bagaimana penampakannya jika kendaraan kemping yang dibuat berasal dari merek Jepang?

Tentunya akan terlihat unik. Meski sebenarnya bukanlah hal yang asing, walau di Jepang budaya kemping dengan menggunakan mobil rasanya tidak begitu mendarah daging.

Nah, motorhome kali ini berasal dari Mitsubishi Delica D:5 Terrain Camper Van, mobil camper Jepang yang dirancang oleh teknisi Camper Scotland yang berasal dari Skotlandia.

Camper Scotland dikenal sebagai pembuat camper terkenal di Skotlandia.

Delica dirancang bisa menampung 6-7 penumpang. Namun untuk kebutuhan sebagai kendaraan rekreasi, kapasitas tampungnya dirancang hanya untuk 4 orang.

Pada ruang kabin Delica, Anda akan menemukan lemari es dan dapur kecil yang kokoh.

Pasokan listrik diperoleh dari panel surya di atap yang menyimpan energi ke dalam paket baterai berkekuatan super lithium.

Mobil ini menggunakan elevating roof yang bisa diangkat secara otomatis untuk memberikan ruang tambahan saat Anda mencapai tempat tujuan berkemah.

Pada bagian kabin tengah terdapat dua tempat duduk yang bisa direbahkan dan beralih fungsi menjadi tempat tidur untuk dua orang.

Ruang kabin dimanfaatkan sedemikian rupa untuk bisa menjadi tempat penampungan barang atau tempat, seperti dry bag, portable water, dan peralatan memasak.

Yang menarik, dua kursi bagian depan bisa diputar 180 derajat sehingga bisa berhadapan dengan dua penumpang belakang dan mereka bisa makan malam bersama.

Camper Scotland menggunakan Delica berbahan bakar bensin dengan mesin 2,4 liter inline four.

Selain itu juga menyediakan versi turbodiesel 2,2 liter. Kedua model tersebut menggunakan penggerak 4 roda permanen.

Mobil ini juga memiliki kemampuan derek sebesar 1,6 ton yang bisa digunakan untuk menarik trailer jika dibutuhkan.

“Tidak seperti kemping lain di dalam atau di luar jalan, campervan 4WD ini akan membawa Anda ke luar jalan ke tempat-tempat liar dan berbatu,” kata pendiri dan pemilik Campers Scotland, Gary Hayes.

“Berkemah, masak, tidur di lembah, dekat danau, pantai atau hutan berpasir favorit Anda."

"Campervan off-road yang inovatif ini memiliki banyak fitur yang Anda harapkan dari Campervan terbaik dengan sejumlah fitur canggih yang dirancang untuk jiwa petualang yang sesungguhnya," katanya.

Dengan desain yang unik tidak salah jika Majalah Top Gear menjuluki camper van ini sebagai perpaduan yang unik antara Jepang dengan Skotlandia.

Mitsubishi Delica D:5 Terrain Camper Van dijual dengan banderol harga 27.995 paun (sekitar Rp562 juta).

Launch of Mitsubishi Delica Campervan – the D:5 Terrain from the Campervan Co

Campers Scotland are launching a robust, off road Mitsubishi Delica 4WD Campervan – the D:5 Terrain.

Established in 2006 with five Mazda Bongos, Campers Scotland originally started up as a hire company and has grown into Scotland’s premier campervan retailer.

After the success of the Hybrid and Tribrid line, the Eco Camper which launched three years ago, Campers Scotland expanded operations by switching to a production line model in order to keep up with demand and streamline the business’s production of bespoke camperisations. Annual turnover has taken a 30% jump in the last year from £1 million to £1.3 million.

As part of new expansion plans, the company is getting ready for a full rebrand - The Campervan Co. with four distinct sub brands: Campers – low emissions Petrol and Diesel, Eco Campers - Hybrid and TribridCampers Hire and Campers Care – Servicing and maintenance packages plus repairs.

The new Mitsubishi Delica Campervan - the D:5 Terrain is part of the Campers range.

Business owner and passionate campervan expert, Gary Hayes explains, ”Like no other camper on, or off the road, this 4WD campervan will take you and your crew off-road to wild and rugged places. Camp, cook, sleep in glens, near lochs, your favourite sandy beaches or forest. The Terrain is built to sleep and cater for four people. Cook using two renewable energy cookers (with two super-fast induction hobs), fill water bottles from the stream, switch on the diff-lock for slippy off-road surfaces and sleep in sub-zero temperatures comfortably. This ground-breaking, off-road campervan has multiple features you would expect from a top of the range Campervan with a host of cutting edge features designed for the truly adventurous spirit.”

The launch of The Mitsubishi Delica Campervan - the D:5 Terrain will be exhibited alongside the highly popular Toyota Alphard Hybrid/Tribrid - the Eco Camper, the new 5-seater Toyota Alphard Hybrid -  the Eco Explorer at The Scottish Caravan Motorhome & Holiday Home Show at The SEC In Glasgow from February 7 – 10.

Gary adds, “ We will be in Hall 1. Come and see us. We can get a test drive sorted for you.”

Automatic Stability Control
Improves safety by automatically helps the driver regain control of the vehicle when it detects a loss in traction.

Anti-locking Brake System
Monitors wheel speeds and prevents lock-up of a wheel or wheels when braking. Ensuring the vehicle stopes earlier in emergency situations.

Electronic Brakeforce Distribution
Automatically varies the amount of force applied to each of the vehicles brakes based on road conditions, speed and the loading of the vehicle.

Switchable drive modes
Choose between 2WD mode which power’s the front wheels only, 4WD mode which supplies power to all four wheels through the limited slip differential and LOCK mode which locks the differential and supplies equal power to all four wheels, particularly useful in off-road low traction situations.

Active Cornering lights
These automatically activate when the driver comes to a corner and applies angle to the steering wheel. Very helpful in illuminating the road in tight turns and seeing street numbers. Only active when vehicle speed is under 40km/h.

SRS Airbags
Each models features a wide array of SRS airbags including, Driver and Front passenger airbags, side airbags, curtain airbags for all three rows, knee airbag for driver.

Smart Key System
The intelligent key system does not require a key to be inserted into the lock or ignition in order to open the car or start the engine. Often known as keyless go, the system enables the driver to merely keep the key on their person and when within 70cm of the vehicle, opening the drivers, front passenger or tailgate, the locks open automatically upon sensing the key in proximity. The engine is started by simply having the key inside the vehicle, depressing the brake pedal and turning the start switch to the start position. No more looking for keys in pockets or bags.

INVECS - III CVT
Seamless shifting in this continuously variable transmission. The benefits of this technology include fuel saving through optimisation of engine RPM based on throttle position with acceleration coming from the change in ratio rather than change in RPM. 

RISE – Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution
RISE is a monocoque body system that combines an energy-absorbing front and rear section with a strong, rigid occupant cell to provide protection in the event of an accident. It features high tensile steel reinforcing bars in doors and energy-absorbing material in the side pillars and roof rails. The body structure is based around a one-piece shell with high levels of bending and torsional rigidity, which provides a steel cage for the safety of both the driver and passengers.

Power doors
Automatic power side doors available in most models. 

Accessories
Rough-terrain upgrade
For those looking for ultimate off-road experience, various optional upgrades are possible, such as chassis strengthening, super-performance brake callipers and disks, heightened suspension and scuff-kits.
