Our Toyota HiAce Campervan Conversion Process

Our van conversions

Built on the Trusted Toyota HiAce Platform.

Ordering a Coastal Camper is straightforward. We ask for a deposit to secure your build slot, and from there, we take care of everything.

We source a brand new Toyota HiAce H300 6th Generation — fresh from the factory, zero kilometres — and begin your Toyota HiAce conversion from scratch. No second-hand platforms, no shortcuts. Your van is built new, from the ground up, the way it should be.

When it’s ready, the choice is yours: come and collect it from us in West Gosford on the NSW Central Coast or Southport QLD, or we’ll register and deliver it directly to your door — anywhere in Australia.

Backed by Two Warranties. 

Before we hand over the keys, you’ll have the peace of mind of knowing your Coastal Camper is protected by not one, but two comprehensive warranties.

Toyota’s 5-year factory warranty covers the vehicle itself — engine, drivetrain, and everything that makes a HiAce a HiAce. Backed by Toyota’s nationwide dealer network, you’re never far from support, no matter where the road takes you.

And every Toyota HiAce camper conversion carries our own Coastal Campers 5-year conversion warranty, plus manufacturer warranties on major components.

How We Build Every HiAce Camper Conversion

Precision isn’t something we talk about at Coastal Campers — it’s something you can see and feel the moment you step inside.

Every Toyota HiAce campervan conversion begins with CNC-cut cabinetry, machined to exact tolerances for a perfect fit, clean lines, and structural strength that holds up to years of Australian roads. Combined with marine-grade materials and premium hardware, our interiors are built for real life — from beachside mornings to outback afternoons and everything in between.

For electrical systems, we specify Victron Energy throughout — trusted by professionals worldwide for their reliability, efficiency, and intelligent power management. Whether it’s solar charging, lithium battery management, or inverter control, your Coastal Camper is engineered to keep up with however you travel.

We don’t compromise on components. Every part is sourced from proven, industry-leading brands that stand behind their products — because we stand behind ours.

 

Inside the Toyota HiAce Campervan

Step inside a finished Coastal Camper and everything has its place. The rear bed seat has integrated seatbelts for travel and folds flat into a full-length bed for two adults. The swivel passenger seat and inside/outside dining table turn the cabin into a lounge in seconds.

The kitchen runs on an induction cooktop, with a stainless steel sink, an 83L fridge freezer and a 50L fresh water tank. Up top, the front-elevation pop-top roof adds standing room and three windows for airflow. Fully backed privacy curtains, LED lighting and reading lights with USB-C finish it off, all powered by a Victron-based electrical system.

Certified. Signed Off. Road Ready.

Before any Coastal Camper leaves our workshop, it undergoes a comprehensive engineering inspection and certification process. Every vehicle is individually tested and signed off by a certified engineer, confirming compliance with Australian Design Rules.

You’re not simply buying a campervan. You’re taking delivery of a professionally certified vehicle — road-legal, compliant, and built to a standard that protects you, your family, and your investment.

Built With You in Mind

Our best ideas don’t come from a boardroom — they come from conversations with the people who actually use our vans. Travellers, families, weekend warriors, and long-haul adventurers who tell us what works, what they wish they had, and what they’d change.

That feedback loop drives everything we do. We’re constantly refining our designs, improving our layouts, and raising our own standards — because the people buying Coastal Campers deserve a builder who never stops getting better.

Combined with Toyota’s legendary reliability and our team’s 20+ years of combined conversion experience, the result is what we believe is the ultimate Australian campervan — smart, dependable, and built for a lifetime of adventure.
