- Please tell us the events leading to your purchasing your camper van.

My wife and I both loved the outdoors from the start and so we were driving Toyota Alphard minivan before but we wanted to have a vehicle that provided more space like a large van, in which we could easily sleep overnight so we decided to purchase a camper van.

- Please tell us the events leading to your encounter with Toy-Factory.

After we started considering purchasing a camper van, I visited a number of custom builders as well as looking through the internet and magazines, as well as visiting camper van shows and that is how I became aware of the existence of Toy-Factory.

- Please tell us what made you select Toy-Factory.

The quality of the interior was overwhelmingly different from camper vans available from other companies. The design sense of the interior is very wonderful and I can see meticulous concern for quality everywhere, in the components and finish of paint coating. I felt that the quality was very good so I decided to make our purchase from Toy-Factory. The reason why I decided on Zara was because initially I wanted to use the vehicle for commuting to work as well. I was looking for a camper van that had good fuel economy for a van and did not cost me too much. Zara has the wide middle base so it still fits in 3D parking spaces and I did not want to compromise on the specifications of the interior, so I decided to purchase Zara because it satisfied both of these aspects that I was looking for.

- What is your lifestyle like, with a camper van?

I take action much easier than I used to. (laugh)

We might not go camping for Friday night but might instead go and have fun at the Disneyland. I do not have to worry about accommodations, so when something comes to my mind, we just go (laugh). When we go to places like Disneyland, we just talk Friday morning, like "What should we do? Should we leave tonight?" So conversation starts like that and once I come home from work we leave that night, then line up at the gates Saturday morning and have fun all day, then go and take bath somewhere and sleep in the van, parked in a highway service area somewhere and we come home Sunday morning (laugh).

- Do you often go camping as well?

I like camping and the outdoors, so after we purchased the camper van we camped a total of 42 nights in one year (laugh). Since our children are gradually growing up and things have become a bit busier around here that number decreased to 30 nights last year. Sleeping in a van is not like sleeping in a tent in that there is less to worry about, such as bugs and it is comfortable even in the middle of summer, so I think camper van is a really good option. What I enjoy doing first right after arriving at a campsite is to have some alcoholic beverage (laugh).

- Please tell us how you enjoy camping.

There is no doubt that the attraction is in experiencing the extraordinary.

Our baseline desire was about going out as a family unit, and since both the husband and the wife in our case came from families that camped, so the outdoors were an existence we felt very close to for both of us since our tender age. The image of camping for us was easy and when we go camping we actually do it in a stride, so going camping with our children is something that just came natural to us. I like sitting there, having some drinks and staring into the flames of our camp fire or warming up with the fire, times like that I think the moments feel so graceful and extraordinary, with time flowing so slowly and I just love moments like that.

- Can you offer some advice to those of us who might be considering purchasing a camper van?

If you are going to buy one, then you should not wait even a day. This is really true!!

The number of days you are unable to go out with your children is increasing each and every day. I think it really strengthens the family bond and ties, so even though it can be expensive, if you are willing to go that extra mile then buy it, sooner the better. I believe what we really tell you is that you should buy soon (laugh).
