bendzi23 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 (edited) *UPDATE* Just had another great vehicle pop up on the auction list, and if my eyes aren't failing me, it seems to be a very rare model.... I've added a second set of pictures "Hilux Galaxy" below. From what I can tell it's a 1994 Hilux Galaxy Motorhome 2.8L Diesel 4x4 with only 20,000 miles? Based on my research this is something that tends to bring a pretty penny and is highly sought after, but I could be getting a little too worked up. Just watched this video and it made me drool. Anyone know anything about this model? I'm trying to figure out what a smart budget is going into the auction. Seems like the few others that I could find were selling for $15k+? Here are some other details for this one:"Type": LN106"Chasis Number": 0103715Grade: 3/5 ****Previously posted is below**** Hey everyone... I am active duty US Navy stationed in Japan and have the ability to get cars from auction here just outside of Tokyo. Sorry for such a "newbie" post, but hopefully this is the first of many! I stumbled across this RV coming up at auction in about 12 hours from now... and it's labeled as a "Toyota Hilux Camper", but with the left hand drive, I'm pretty certain it's not a Hilux. The auction sheet is in Japanese and I have no idea what most of it says, but I do know the engine runs fine and is in solid condition. These are the only pictures I have, unfortunately. So I'm relying on the pros here in this forum: Can you identify which model this is? Here are the details I know: Year: 1993Miles: 32,000 (52,000km is what they wrote)Displacement: 2950"Rating": 3/5 which is a pretty solid score. I purchased a 3/5 van from auction previously and it has served me very well so far. So here's what I'd love to know... 1. Which model is this? 2. If I'm 5'9, would I be able to stand up completely on the inside? Will I be able to lay down completely in the bed? 3. Assuming it's in great shape (many Japanese-owned cars are extremely well maintained) what sort of price would this go for in the USA? Rough estimates are fine! 4. Is this 4WD? Would it be able to handle snowy mountain roads en route to Colorado (or Japan) skiing destinations? I am very strongly considering posting a bid on this tomorrow to make it my ultimate snowboarding mobile, but I'd love to get more details about it before jumping in. THANK YOU so much for the help. - Ben P.S. - There are some other really great options coming up tomorrow for auction that I am considering, if you have any info on the above about these, let me know! No idea what prices these would run in the USA... but if you have any info, tips, etc. please don't be shy. Alternate A: 1992 Izuzu Rodeo Camper 4WD 2.8L Diesel w/ 43,000 miles - 3/5 ratingAlternate B: 1994 Izuzu ELF Camping 4WD 3.1L Diesel w/ 90,000 miles - 3/5 ratingAlternate 😄 1993 Nissan Civilian Camping 2WD (I think) 3.5L Diesel w/ 22,000 miles - 3.5/5 rating Thanks again for the help. Hope to be coming back to the USA with a camper in tow when the Navy moves us in April. Edited February 20, 2019 by bendzi23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek up North Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 It's a Winnebago Warrior. 1989 - 1994. 3VZE (3000cc) V6 gasoline. 2WD, automatic or 5-speed. Bunk/cabover 80" x 52". Ceiling height ~6'-2" (less under A/C). Many manage to drive in the snow with 4 Season tires. Proper Snow/Ice tires in the correct 185R14C 102/100Q size are VERY difficult to source in North America. Possibly available in Japan. 1990 Test (3rd page is actually uploaded last). Basically the same as 1993 other than colours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek up North Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 1993 Owners Manual:- https://winnebagoind.com/resources/manuals/pdfs/Operator1993/93WarriorMicro.pdf Winnebago used to have their brochures online but I can't find them this morning. Not enough coffee? And the Forum isn't letting me upload the Pdf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek up North Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 The other Options you list are pretty rare here and I've little info. Best selection of photos I've found are from Carry Moore in New Zealand. http://www.cmooremotors.co.nz/camp_sold_list.htm The Japanese made MHs seem to be more 'compact'.

bendzi23 Posted February 20, 2019 Author Share Posted February 20, 2019 Thank you @Derek up North - much appreciated. I've done some more digging and found another really interesting Toyota MH - I've updated the post with two new pictures. Any idea about this model? It's a 1994 diesel 4x4 with 2.8L engine. Thanks so much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek up North Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 The latest addition looks like one of these. I've no idea who the actual manufacturer is though. http://www.cmooremotors.co.nz/93_hilux_camper_4wd.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odyssey 4x4 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Looks about the same as this model, I've seen similar ones called "Galaxy" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPh23xwEC54 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek up North Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Yep, looks similar (identical?). I've seen others named as 'Global Galaxy'. Same manufacturer? Related? I think all the Global Galaxies I've seen have the cool pop up bunk! http://www.cmooremotors.co.nz/88_hilux_4x4_camper.htm I'm not sure what to make of the 5-lug rear axles? Full floating? But they're installed on most of the Japanese made 'Homes, so must be up to the job. Tire size? 15"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maineah Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 It's kind of doubtful it can be imported right hand drive and a diesel. The rear is a floater with a wide spaced wheel not something you would find here. We never get the really neat stuff. It was not a blazing proformer with the 2.8 even the newer 3L was not a power house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda s Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 They are all importable. Older than 25 years. There is already a flip up front camper in this country that was for sale not long ago. Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
