It's not... there are lots of good Japanese camper conversions too,
based on Toyota and Mazda vans.

Toyota's large campers are based on the Coaster bus, I'd think, and
they will be conversions, not factory. I've seen plenty of Coasters,
from the 70s models to the 90s, and any campers were aftermarket.
