A Japanese term for a vehicle equipped with camping facilities. There are many types, including mobile homes, which are large buses with the interiors modified to resemble homes, house trailers equipped with home-like facilities, and campers equipped with simple accommodation facilities inside small and medium-sized commercial vehicles (light vans). Some campers based on small and medium-sized light vans have roofs that can be extended high at the destination to avoid the cramped interior, and some have tents that can be pulled out from the sides of the vehicle to expand the room. There are also some with removable accommodation rooms installed in the cargo beds of small and medium-sized trucks and multipurpose four-wheel drive jeeps. Although the home of so-called auto camping using automobiles is the United States, it is becoming popular in Japan as well with the advent of the leisure era.

キャンプ用の設備をもった自動車の日本での呼称。その種類は多く、大型バスの車内を家庭のように仕立てたモービルホーム、家庭のような設備をもつハウストレーラー、中・小型商用車(ライトバン)の中に簡易宿泊設備を施したキャンパーなどがある。中・小型ライトバンをベースにしたキャンパーでは、室内の狭苦しさを回避するために、目的地で屋根を上方に高く延ばせるものや、車体の横からテントを引き出して部屋を広げられるものなどもある。また中・小型トラックやジープ型の多目的四輪駆動車の荷台に着脱式の宿泊室を搭載したものもある。なお自動車によるいわゆるオートキャンプの本場はアメリカであるが、日本でもレジャー時代を迎えて盛んになりつつある。 [高島鎮雄] [参照項目] |出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
