A CAMPERVAN enthusiast has shown off his bizarre tiny home, renowned as the world's smallest motorhome.

The whacky motor has everything you might need to live on the road despite its minuscule size.

Motoring enthusiast Calum Gillies, from Scotland, gave fans a tour of the unusual accommodation on his YouTube channel.

His house on wheels is actually a 1989 Suzuki Super Carry, the smallest van on the road today.

The Super Carry was created as part of the eight generation of the Suzuki Carry pickup truck in 1985.

Part of the craze for kei cars, tiny motors designed for the increasingly packed cities of '70s and '80s Japan, it was intended to offer an affordable camper option without having to lug around tonnes of bodywork.

Amazingly, it is actually classed as a motorhome by the DVLA and can be registered, driven and taxed as such.

Topping out at 50mph it won't be setting speed records any time soon, but Calum loves it for its unique charm and surprisingly decent facilities.

His example boasts a fully-wired electrical system, fold out bed, pop-top and a titchy kitchen area.

He can cook on a single-burner gas stove and wash up in the mini sink (complete with running water), both of which can be folded away into the interior cupboards.

Up front it's even more cramped, with the drivers feet bumping up against the back of the headlights.

Calum joked: "The crumple zone of this car is your feet and your legs.

"You really don't want to be getting into a head-on collision.

"There's not really much space in the cabin length ways or width ways."

However, despite the compressed conditions, Calum felt it was still spacious enough thanks to the ingenious middle section of the van.

The central segment features a multi-purpose seating unit turning into both a bedroom and a sitting room.

It can fold out into a decently comfy bed at night or can be used as a mini sofa during the day.

There's even a two-part table which can screw into the floor, transforming the space once again, this time into a dining room.

Calum chuckled: "It's quite shaky...I don't tend to use this that often.

"But it is there if you ever need it.

"I have served dinner numerous times.

"You could sit two or three people on here quite comfortably."
