South Korean company Vantech has managed to take a Hyundai Staria compact minivan and convert into a diminutive but spectacularly outfitted camper van that boasts a luxurious penthouse on top.
Vantech, which previously showcased its prowess by reimagining Hyundai Starex vehicles, has well and truly outdone itself with its interpretation of the Staria, dubbed the 'Raccoon L.' Perhaps the most eyecatching features of the 'Raccoon L' camper van are its roof-raising system that enables the space inside the vehicle to be considerably raised on its vertical axis. This allows for a mattress to be stored before being folded away to increase standing room during the daytime.
Another innovative feature of this compact minivan is the inclusion of a deck that can be used as a van-borne penthouse, adding a touch of luxury and style while out exploring the great outdoors.
