It's a TDI T5. They *look* like a eurovan, but they are a LOT smaller. Notice that there is no luggage rack section on the pop-top... It's because the vehicle is actually that much shorter.

The execution is very similar to the "butt tent" that Jamie Auch used to have on his Baywindow bus, except that this one would set up faster at the expense of interior space when not in use.
