The Mountain Base has a rugged look with off-road wheels and tires, protective bumpers and wood paneling along with a massive deployable solar panel on the roof. The interior is equipped with a built-in bench and table that can be used as a very remote workstation and a widescreen TV it demonstrates with a fireplace display.

The Myroom is more of a chic hotel on wheels, with a light wood-trimmed interior, couch, mattress, storage under the floor, drawers and, oddly, a magazine rack-style bookshelf.

The designs follow the Office Pod van Nissan created for the virtual show held last January, which has a slide-out desk section and rooftop sundeck.

There are no plans for production of the vehicles, but they do offer ideas for potential custom builds.
