If you’ve been looking for a reliable, stealthy, fully‑equipped, “turnkey” micro‑camper that’s ready for travel on day one, this is it.

🔧 Mechanical Condition
- 122,000 miles
- Brand new tires
- New serpentine belt
- Fresh full synthetic oil change
- Spark plugs replaced (4,000 miles ago)
- New O2 sensor (4,000 miles ago)
- Newer engine mounts (10,000 miles ago)
- Upholstery in great condition with no tears
- Everything works except one dashboard backlight and the gear‑shift light and clock, but there's one on the radio :)
- It still got 20 MPG when fully loaded and driven only in town
Runs strong, shifts smooth, and has Toyota reliability behind it. I'm the second owner and have had it since 2012 with 41k miles and it has never broken down and only been in the shop for regular wear items!
