Toyota Hilux Champ owners can now turn their trucks into mobile hotel rooms. Carryboy, a Thai company, has launched a full-spec motorhome conversion for the versatile pickup.

The conversion is based on the long-wheelbase chassis cab version of the Hilux Champ. It's also compatible with the standard Toyota Hilux and Mitsubishi Triton midsize pickups.

Carryboy says the motorhome can sleep up to six people, but it's more realistic for a family of four. The living area turns into a berth, and there's an overhead sleeping area with a skyview window.

The bathroom comes with a toilet and a hot water shower. There's a 100-liter (26-gallon) fresh water tank. The motorhome also includes a dining table, hidden LED lighting, storage compartments, window blinds, an 80-liter fridge, kitchen appliances, a sink, a 32-inch TV, and an A/C unit.

On the outside, you'll find electric side steps and an electric awning. There's even an optional slide-out kitchen for outdoor cooking.

Power comes from a standard 9,600 Wh battery, with options to upgrade to 19,200 Wh or 28,800 Wh. For those who want to stay off-grid longer, a solar rooftop is available.

The Hilux Champ itself has a 2.4-liter diesel engine that produces 148 hp and 343 Nm of torque. It comes with an automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. Buyers can opt for new shock absorbers to increase ground clearance.

The motorhome conversion costs between ฿1,997,000 and ฿2,389,500 ($58,500-70,000), depending on the options chosen. That's on top of the ฿459,000 ($13,500) starting price for the standard truck in Thailand.

For those who want a less luxurious but cheaper option, Carryboy also offers a Touring Package conversion. This includes a rear module priced at ฿450,000-550,000 ($13,000-16,000) and a roof tent for ฿32,500 ($950).

The roof tent sleeps two adults and retracts when not in use. The rear module has well-organized compartments for gear storage. It's a good choice for camping trips in the wilderness.
