About the Low-top camper
Low-tops are the OG backpacker workhorses — Toyota Hiace-style vans with a bed in the back, simple kitchen kit, fridge or cool box. No stand-up height but everything else you need. Drives like a regular van. Often the best $/day on long trips.

Backpackers chasing the cheapest van that still feels like a proper road-trip rig. Great for the Big Lap on a budget.

Anyone over 6 ft who wants to stand up, families with kids, anyone needing a shower on board.
