Once set up, the roof lifts to provide the spacious, airy feel of a full-height caravan. Inside, you’ll find twin single beds with lift-up storage, a well-equipped mid kitchen with L-shaped bench and a comfortable rear L-shaped lounge and dinette complete with TV unit. Compact in size but clever in design, this Journey is built for relaxed touring.
