This 2017 Mitsubishi Fuso Canter was acquired by the current owner in 2020 as a lightly used truck and subsequently converted and built exquisitely into an overlander camper. The truck is finished in gray, and a 3.0-liter turbodiesel inline-four send power to all four wheels via a six-speed automatic transmission and a single-speed transfer case. Amenities include cab air conditioning, cruise control, reverse and side-view cameras, and a Sony touchscreen infotainment system. The camper is outfitted with a kitchenette, a bathroom, and a dinette that converts to a bed as well as an 810-watt solar panel array, a 600Ah Relion house battery, Victron power management, Cruise N Comfort air conditioning, a Planar air heater, a water filtration system, and an audio system with Bluetooth connectivity. Service in 2023 involved reprogramming the ECU as well as repairing a turbocharger oil drain tube and an air temperature sensor circuit. This modified Fuso Canter is offered with service records, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Montana title.

The standard cab two-axle Mitsubishi Fuso Canter is based on the company’s FG cabover truck series, and this example was reportedly refinished in gray following the installation of a camper cabin under current ownership. Equipment includes KC driving lights, towing mirrors, and an ARB air compressor that is housed in the locking underbody equipment boxes. The camper features hinged Outbound windows, a hinged skylight, retractable entry steps, an outdoor shower, receiver-style accessory mounting points, a rear-mounted gear box, and a storage compartment. Infrastructure equipment consists of an 810-watt solar panel array, a 600-Ah Relion house battery, a Victron 3000-watt inverter/charger, a 55-gallon freshwater tank, inline water filters, an Elgena 10-liter water heater, a 36-gallon gray water tank, holding tank heaters, and shore connections for power, water, and wastewater disposal. Starlink wiring is installed, but a receiver is not included. The finish on the right-front bumper cap is peeling.
Black 19.5? steel wheels are mounted with 285/70 Toyo Hyparadial tires that are said to have been installed under current ownership, while a matching spare is secured at the back of the camper. Stopping power is from four-wheel drum brakes, and the truck is equipped with replacement leaf springs and shock absorbers as well as solid axles, manually locking front hubs, and a Levelmate Pro automatic leveling system.
The cab houses two heated Scheel-Mann bucket seats trimmed in black leather along with a gray dash, door panels, and carpets. Additional features air conditioning, cruise control, power windows and locks, sound damping material, a Furrion monitor linked to reverse and side-view cameras, and a Sony touchscreen infotainment system.
The two-spoke steering wheel frames a central digital display, a 100-mph speedometer, a tachometer with a 4,200-rpm redline, and a fuel-level gauge. The digital odometer indicates 4k, approximately 500 of which were added under current ownership.
The living quarters are outfitted with perimeter and under-cabinet lighting, woodgrain flooring, an audio system with Bluetooth connectivity and OJAS-tuned JBL speakers, storage drawers, a wardrobe closet, and Outbound windows with integrated screens and privacy shades. Climate control gear consists of Cruise N Comfort air conditioning, a Planar air heater, and two Maxxair power-operated ceiling vents. The kitchenette is equipped with composite countertops, a Dometic refrigerator/freezer, a Krauss stainless steel sink, an induction cooktop, and 120-volt power outlets.
The dining area can be configured as a sleeping surface and features wraparound bench seats trimmed in Maharam gray cloth upholstery, a dining table with an adjustable mount, and under-seat storage. The wet-bath bathroom is outfitted with a shower and a Wrappon waste-sealing toilet. A system panel within the wardrobe closet houses gauges for the holding tanks as well as controls for the solar system, air conditioner, and power equipment.
The Mitsubishi Fuso 4P10 3.0-liter turbodiesel inline-four is accessible underneath the tilting cab and was factory rated at 161 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. Fuel is stored in a custom 56-gallon fuel tank. Service under current ownership included reprogramming the ECU as well as repairing a turbocharger oil drain tube and an air temperature sensor circuit.
Power is sent to the rear or all four wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission and a single-speed transfer case. Additional underside photos can be viewed in the gallery below.
