I travel periodically in Mexico and South America and occasionally see vehicles that aren't common in the US but would make nifty conversations. Here's a stepvan I saw in Baja Norte a few months ago:




What I was able to find out about it:
- Made in Mexico
- Longitudinal front engine, RWD
- Stick
- Sold for $9k with a full kitchen (I'd guess it would have gone for $5k without)
The interior ergonomics were better than my Grumman, especially since it had more space to move around in the cab.
You could say that it's actually a cross between a step van and a box truck because the wheel wells don't protrude as far into the bay and there's a small (1" - 1cm) step between the cab and the bay.
Anyway, it looked like it would make a decent camper.
