2000 - LWB HIGH-TOP Toyota Hiace Campervan
The layout is designed to incorporate as much storage and functional living space as possible so that it works for long trips away from home with lots of stuff in a van. It is also small enough to be used as an everyday run around or for a quick escape for a night or two on a weekend. It is a LWB that is easy to drive and easy to park. One of my previous customers is currently living in hers full time in Ireland, another couple are currently travelling Europe in theirs :)
The van is fully insulated and with a vapour barrier and sound deadening panels and recycled bottle insulation as well as Thermo-acoustic foil backed foam insulation. It has been clad in Tongue and groove painted in Eggshell. The interior has been built with new and reclaimed timber to a high standard.
Windows to the rear and a privacy tinted window to the side as well as 2 vent windows in the roof.
Curtain poles with copper pipe and brass fittings add extra rustic charm.
The L shaped seating area makes it feel quite roomy for a small van. The table drops down on hinges and when closed it becomes a door for the shelving above so things stay secure when driving. Below there is further storage.
The seating is spacious so that 2 adults can lounge stretched out on the seats with plenty of room. The back bench is fixed and has a lift up lid to access storage inside the van as well as a little door. This area is also accessible from the back outside and the seat flips out 180* so that it can be used as a table supported by chain..perfect for outdoor cooking/drinks etc.
The other bench slides out easily to create a double bed that is 6' long by 4ft wide using the seating cushions. The cushions are foam with a layer of memory foam and are covered with fire retardant upholstery fabric.
There is also lots of storage underneath the pull-out bench which can be accessed from inside, this storage area is also accessible from the back door and runs the full length of the bench seat so that longer things can be stored.
The kitchen has a full-length reclaimed Oak worktop.The double campingaz hob with practical large rings for cooking sits under a section that hinges up when in use. The hob and gas can easily be moved for outdoor cooking also.
The van is designed to be Off grid with a solar set up. There is a 200W semi flexible Solar panel on the roof which charges a large 100ah Lithium Leisure battery and has an MPPT solar control unit, 4 x LED spot lights, touch sensitive and dimmable. 2x USB charging points and a cigarette lighter socket for the Compressor cool box, which is super efficient and also makes ice cubes in an ice compartment. This all runs off of the solar.
There is also a split charge relay connected to the engine battery to charge the leisure battery while driving.
It has 20 litre fresh and 20 litre waste water on-board that is easily accessible.
A handmade copper tap is operated by a Whale foot pump.
