Route Six brought something to the Tokyo Camping Car Show 2026 that looks like an ordinary kei van but folds out into a two-story home on wheels. It’s the compact Conffy II POP camper, built on the Daihatsu Atrai — not a factory version from Daihatsu itself, but a deep third-party conversion with a pop-up roof.
The standard Conffy carries four passengers, but only two can actually sleep inside — the rest are stuck with the seats. The pop-up roof section fixes that: it adds two more sleeping spots, and only then does the claimed “four-person” capacity become literally true. How comfortable four adults will actually be in there, Route Six discreetly declines to say.
The equipment list for something this small, though, is almost indecent. A 200 Ah lithium iron phosphate battery, a 12-volt air conditioner, a Webasto fuel heater, a 1000-watt inverter, external power hookup, and charging on the move — the spec sheet reads like something off a much larger vehicle. The body gets extra insulation, and the rear suspension picks up reinforced components: all that electronics and hardware adds real weight.
Route Six offers three interior layouts to choose from. The Conffy I gets a low four-section bed and a table that can be carried outside. The Conffy II adds face-to-face seating and a sink. The Conffy III brings the widest bed and a six-section mattress. For the Tokyo show, the company officially picked the Conffy II with the pop-up roof.
The real advantage of the Conffy isn’t the “second floor” itself — it’s being able to run the air conditioner and heater with the engine off. The catch is obvious: the pop-up roof, extra options, and special trim push the price up noticeably. Turning an ordinary kei van into a camper won’t come cheap this time.
Daihatsu previously rolled out a 710-kilogram Mira e with a turbo engine and manual transmission.
