sophatroph Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 This 1992 Hiace diesel camper is available for sale in my area. I'm having trouble finding anything like it to compare to for price. I'm also really bummed it isn't 4x4. The sellers ad " For sale is my 1992 Toyota Hiace Cruising Cabin 2WD RHD van with automatic transmission and Diesel engine w/ 119,000 original miles. This campervan was built in Japan and has plenty of storage space. It clocks at a very low 119,000 miles, which is really only getting started for Toyota's 3L model diesel engine, known to exceed 500,000 miles before a rebuild is required. This van has been very well taken care of. I've driven her all over the United States, Canada and Baja California with zero maintenance issues and great fuel mileage. You can drive this Toyota instead of constantly breaking down and fixing your Volkswagen Bus. Fridge, Sink, Lights, GPS Nav+Bluetooth, Kenwood Speakers, Subwoofer & TV run day and night w/ 2 deep cell batteries charged w/ 200 watts of semi flexible solar panels."

fred heath Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Big thing to look for is replacement parts. You don’t want to break down and find you have to go to Japan for parts. As far as price goes, see if there’s any other models around and what they’re selling for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maineah Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 They also are right hand drive where is the seller? It may not be importable or inspectable. Right hand drive and diesel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WME Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 The living space is way smaller than a 18 ft. Its going to feel real small after a weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjrbus Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 The big plus with US Toyota RV's is parts availability and technical support, I can break down anywhere I have internet and likely get support in a matter minutes. While odd rig owners will be searching the web for a ウォーターポンプ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I searched the internet for a while and couldn't find anything quite like it. other early 90's hiace/townace/liteace go for anywhere from $9000 to $20000, depending on condition and if they're 4x4 or 2x4. and those are just the van, not the camper set up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've lived in a 29 ft converted school bus for two years, and a 19ft converted dodge van for 6 months. I think I could get used to this pretty fast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just haven't seen enough of these (HiAces) advertised to hazard a guess. Anything like it? Westies? Other Class Bs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gulfstream Greg Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Here is one for sale in British Columbia https://vancouver.craigslist.org/nvn/cto/d/north-vancouver-1994-toyota-hiace-turbo/6833520538.html Looking through different locations on craigslist I see them for sale. So if your gut really likes the hiace look around before you drop 20K, 4x4 will open up another world for you! The camper versions look rare though.
