Meet my trusty Toyota Hiace — a reliable, compact, and stealthy campervan that’s been my off-grid travel companion for the last couple of years. It’s perfect for someone looking for a simple, functional setup with all the key electrics already done — or a new owner ready to add their own creative touch.

🧰 Condition & notes
The van has some cosmetic bodywork damage, but it’s purely visual — the structure is sound and the mechanics are reliable. If you’re after a pristine showroom finish, this isn’t it; if you want a tough, honest van that’s already off-grid capable, it’s perfect.
