Toyota Hiace 300 GS LWB D4D
One of a kind, homely, off-grid campervan conversion – 2 berth. Highly sought after Toyota Hiace 300 GS LWB with low miles and famously reliable 2.5L D4D turbo diesel engine, this Japanese engine is renowned for being rock-solid. This is the more sought after long wheel base version also.
Toyota Hiaces are famed for their longevity and how simple they are to maintain. I hunt high and low for the right van before undertaking the conversion myself in its entirety. I have been driving it around collecting materials throughout the conversion and can guarantee it starts on the turn of a key every time.

Kitchen ~
This bespoke conversion compromises of a large L shaped kitchen built with storage in mind. There is storage via the kitchen cupboards and the large draw. There’s a 3 ring gas hob with a full 4.5kg Calor Gas butane bottle included with fittings (easily refillable), bespoke swivel copper tap with Whale foot pump (foot pump is a great way of saving water), X2 20L fresh and grey water containers underneath the rectangular under mounted stainless steel sink. There is a convenient pull up table at the end of the kitchen which provides advantageous worktop space, and outdoor cooking space. The fridge is a 12V Outwell EcoCool 35L cooler box which is easily accessible via the compact pull out draw runners and is securely in place whilst driving via the elasticated bungee cord.
Electrics ~
All the 12V electrics in the camper are powered by 2, 120watt flexible monocrystalline solar panels located on the roof. The 30amp MPPT solar charge controller converts the solar energy into storable energy. There is a 105 amp hour AGM leisure battery (which is separate from the starter battery’s under the bonnet) which stores this useable energy and powers all the 12V electrics and cool box in the campervan. This campervan is completely off-grid requiring no electrical hook ups which is ideal for stealth camping. The incoming and outgoing power is very easily monitored via the wall mounted MT50 LED display monitor.
> X6 Warm LED wireless remote control ceiling spot lights which are dimmable
> X2 rear individual bed reading spot lights
> X4 USB with cigarette lighter charging points
> 105 amp AGM leisure battery
> 12V Outwell EcoCool 35L cooler box/fridge
Living space ~
The roomy, double sofa seating transforms with wooden supports down the middle into a large luxurious double bed. The mattress is an IKEA foam mattress with freshly upholstered covers. Due to the well designed L shaped kitchen even when the bed is out, the kitchen is fully accessible which is very practical and spacious. The day seating table is removable via the Sequoia free standing table leg and can be neatly stored behind the kitchen when not in use. There is practical shoe storage, door mat and hooks which are easily accessible from the outside, as well as a rattan shelf with towel holder. At the rear there is a convenient skylight which has 3 opening settings complete with fly-net and black out blind incorporated & the cab has a blackout curtain. The sliding door has a tinted opening window fitted.
Insulation ~
The camper is fully insulated throughout with recycled plastic wool insulation and a second layer of thermawrap foil vapour barrier. The base of the van, underneath the hard wearing laminate flooring, is also insulated with EcoTherm 25mm insulation board. The interior of the camper has been finished with pine tongue and groove cladding and decorated for the rustic beach hut vibe. The inside panel metal work has been lined throughout with sound deadening.
Due to the campers compact low top size its easy to manoeuvre and park which gives you great piece of mind. You can enter almost every height restricted car park which is hugely advantageous. This camper is a real head turner and is completely unique! It’s undeniably cosy and homely inside which is just what you want from a campervan – a home from home.
2 large sofas effortlessly converts into a large comfortable double bed (L168cm X W159cm) with IKEA foam mattress, so it’s perfect for a solo traveller or couples adventure. There is plenty of storage under each sofa with full access at the rear and the top underneath each of the mattresses.
