The all-new Caravan MyRoom isn’t the campervan you might expect from Nissan

It's less "traditional campervan" and more "compact, spa-inspired relaxation cocoon on wheels."

Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen might be the darlings of the factory-built campervan world. But Nissan has been ever-so-quietly churning out some of the best campervan concepts under the radar for years. Its latest — the Caravan MyRoom — might be its crowning achievement.

Everything we know about the Nissan Caravan MyRoom

Nissan’s billing the Caravan MyRoom as less of a traditional campervan and more of a unique, vehicular “retreat” that stands in a class all its own. Indeed, the interior is a cozy, spa-like haven awash in soft, neutral fabrics and woodgrain paneling. There’s a multipurpose second-row bench that pivots between facing front or rear, and a two-seat bench at the back of the cabin converts between forward- to rear-facing, depending on whether you’re driving or lounging. It also folds completely flat to serve as a legit bed. There’s a distinct feeling of calm and relaxation throughout the space.

Campers looking for a more legit bed option have two choices. The Murphy bed option provides a mattress that folds up neatly into the side of the cabin. The bottom is trimmed with the same handsome wood paneling as the rest of the interior, meaning it essentially disappears into the wall by day. The other available bed upgrade is a split-folding mattress that collapses into the side wall atop two ledges that run the length of the sleep space.

One especially clever design feature is a woodgrain tabletop that slides along a rail integrated into the walls of the cabin. Simply sliding this table toward the front or rear allows it to be used as a dining table, a workstation desk, or a casual laptop stand. It’s also completely removable for campers looking for a little extra space.

The Caravan MyRoom pulls more inspiration from upscale hotels than from traditional campervans. With standard horizontal blinds and a wraparound privacy curtain, it’s clear that “coziness” is paramount. But it does mean a lack of typical RV amenities. You won’t find bathroom facilities or any semblance of a kitchen here, unfortunately. Nissan did think to include an onboard power system, though, by way of its own “Portable Battery from Leaf” power station. It’s a portable rechargeable battery designed to power ordinary household appliances that run on 110-volt electrical.

The Caravan MyRoom concept first debuted at the 2022 Tokyo Auto Salon, and it hardly seemed destined for the production line. Barely a year later, Nissan greenlit it as a Japanese-market exclusive. One year hence, it’s making its real-world debut, and thankfully, not too much has changed.

Sadly, there’s a catch. Like so many of the world’s best campervans, the Caravan MyRoom will only be available in the Japanese market (at least, for now). Beginning this month, several trims will be sold in 2WD and 4WD configurations with a starting price tag of around $37,475. Budget a few extra thousand, though, and you can probably figure out the logistics of getting your very own shipped stateside.

New Solo Stove Torch might be the only tiki torch you’ll ever need to buy
Cold rolled steel and any fuel you like
Solo stove tiki torch

It's the perfect time of year for backyard barbecues and parties — it's still plenty warm for a night out under the stars, and even as the weeks grow slowly chillier, nighttime dips in the pool or lake will give way to making s'mores in the firepit, cup of hot chocolate or mulled wine in hand.

The world of lighting just got a major upgrade as Solo Stove, renowned for its innovative fire pits and outdoor accessories, expands its modern fire experience to a whole new category with the launch of the Solo Stove Mesa Torch. This addition to the tiki torch industry promises to illuminate your backyard with a huge flickering flame, adding a touch of excitement to your outdoor experience.
All about the Solo Stove Mesa Torch
A sleek and functional design
The Solo Stove Mesa Torch is not your average backyard torch. It's crafted from cold-rolled steel and finished with a sleek black powder coating. The 3-piece shaft can be adjusted to two different heights, giving you the flexibility to customize your backyard lighting to suit any occasion.
Effortless fueling
One of the standout features of the Solo Stove Mesa Torch is its versatility when it comes to fuel. This torch can be fueled by any type of Torch Oil. That said, Solo Stove also will be offering its own brand of Torch Fuel. The integrated fuel canister is designed for an extra-large flame pattern, ensuring that your outdoor space is beautifully illuminated.
Safe and convenient operation
Safety and convenience are paramount when it comes to outdoor lighting, and Solo Stove has taken this into account with the Torch. The detachable snuffer, complete with an integrated holder, allows you to easily extinguish the flame when the party's over or when it's time to call it a night. No need to worry about smoldering wicks.
Impressive burn time
Imagine enjoying the warm glow of your Solo Stove Mesa Torch for hours on end. With an approximate 5-hour burn time, it should last the length of your party. No need to constantly fuss with refueling or worry about the flame flickering out unexpectedly.
Durability
As with all Solo Stove products, the Torch is built to last. Its cold-rolled steel construction, black powder coating, and heavy-duty stake ensure that it can withstand the rigors of outdoor use. Solo Stove stands behind the quality of their products, and the Torch is no exception. It comes with a lifetime manufacturer's warranty.

The James Barnes Micarta knife, open on a grey background.

Your everyday carry setup says a lot about you. This daily loadout of items reflects who you are, who you aspire to be, and what you value. It shows those around you the kind of guy they're dealing with — have you thrown a few janky items into your pockets, or are your everyday carry items the sort of quality that turn heads and grab attention?

Perhaps unsurprisingly, for a concept that originated in the survivalist and prepper communities, everyday carry items revolve around more than those standard three that occupy the pockets of the general population: keys, wallet, and phone. The discerning everyday carrier knows a quality pocket knife is among the must-haves. For those looking for something that stands out, The James Brand has just redefined the parameters for the best everyday carry knife on the market. Let me introduce you to The Barnes, the new benchmark in cleanliness and quality.
