That's great, I hope you enjoy it as I did. If possible record it and share on your channel, i would like to see it! Cheers

Thanks bro ✌😁
good stuff guys, have the same van and just starting off. Mine will be a bit diff, as im throwing in motorbike , so the floor plan was diff, but found a way to fit a bed in and a bike...you might maybe think of a fan in the roof to get air circulating as NZ gets warm in oct/nov onwards...can suggest a fan if interested....have fun!
That's nice David, i did not put a fan because i have plenty of windows that i can just keep opened in the summer. I would like to see your van once you finish! Thanks bro 😁
Wow 😮 like 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😊
Awesomely
Nice work 👍👍
Thanks Storky
toyota hiace best van of world
Let's road trip!
Hi. Ive just purchased one from Japan. Its on a boat now. Can I ask what wheels you have please?
You guys are awesome, i just joined you, see you too.
👍👍

Hey how much did you buy the van for?
Thank for sharing. I am from Auckland and always wanting to do something like you did but I have been holding onto it till now because sometime New Zealand authorities are too ridiculously strict.
What are the process to get Wof after your modifications? Do you need to provide lots of certifications such as electrical certificate?
Thanks
Hi Aung, you don't need electrical certificate but you will need to go for the inspection to get the self contained license. Just check it on Google, it's very simple. Cheers ✌ 😁
Hi, nice build, but I am VERY confused. How do you get into your engine area? I have a toyota Hiace 2015, that I plan to convert into a van camper in 2 to 4 yars. Looking at Hiace builds on UA-cam, but most of you guys seem to build something directly behind the front seats. In my Hiace (and all the Hiaces that I've seen) you have to lift driver (front left) and middle seat area. When you lift it it actually rolls back, basically if you get into the engine same way i do, your kitchen countertop wouldn't allow me to roll back my seats.
Are you able to get into your engine compartment without any issues? Could you post a picture?
Hi Cancun, Yes, you are right but I leave space enough for the seats to lift. And if necessary to remove the engine it's just remove the bolts that hold the furniture on the ground and it will be possible. Cheers mate :-)
put on some smile mate!
good viz though
Yeah, don't wait for the next day, start it today.. PROVIDED YOU HAVE THE FUNDS FOR IT.
Hi Erwin, yes I have been saving for sometime before I start my campervan project, obviously UA-cam is not my job, so you can start today just saving money, this is part of the whole project, so don't wait for the next day, start it today my friend! 😉
Hi. Great video. I recognized Toyota Hiace Welcab. My Hiace is on the way from Japan (I live in UK). Could you please tell me how difficult was to remove seats and wheelchair lift? And what is that cap in the floor? You've left square cutout to have access to it. Thanks
Hi Cezary, I bought my Hiace without the seats and wheelchair lift so I don't know how difficult is to remove it, I think it's all bolted to the chassis, it's not difficult to remove it. The square in the floor is to access the Fuel Pump, so if you need to replace do not need to remove all the floor, and don't forget to leave access to the space tire as well. You can download some photos from the link on the video description, I hope that help you. Cheers mate
@@RicardoBorgo81 thanks Ricardo.
Hi I feel you’re both organised and innovative with space so I’d like to pick your brains. I’m also looking at Toyota Hiace but I’d love to have both my teenagers with me. Can you see 3 people fitting in there at night? No hitop. Also keeping in mind the 3rd seating with seat belt when on the road. Thanks
Hi Vivien, a Hiace camper for 3 with a 3rd seat it's beyond our creative capability. Perhaps you can buy a Hiace minibus so you will have extra internal space for the 3rd seat. Sorry but I can't help this time. Cheers.
Ricardo Borgo 81 haha fair enough... I’ll do more research. Thanks and take care
I'm a huge fan of Toyota products and prefer a Hiace hight top van except I'm in the U.S. and it would cost too much to ship one from overseas. ...Bummer!
damm dude your channel deserve more subs and watch :3 it’s cool, i just still dream about this camper van, then look more inspiration/reference setup hehe :) have good life sir :)
Hey nDomblong, thanks for your message, it's very kind. You can make this dream come true my friend, just need a financial plan, learn the maximum you can from UA-cam videos and people experiences and I am sure soon you will have your camper! Don't let anyone stop you from your goals! Please send me pictures of your camper once you finish it. Cheers bro ✌😁
Very well.
Não conhecia seu canal. Moro no Brasil e tenho esse sonho de fazer uma para vagar na terrinha! No Brasil tem a chinesa jinbei que é semelhante a toyota hiace. Quando iniciar meu projeto gostaria de contar com suas dicas.
Fala Silva, cara não importa a marca ou o ano da van, pode até ser um kombi, só cheque bem a lataria e a mecânica antes de comprar. Planeje bem antes de começar a fazer sua van. Ficarei feliz em te ajudar no seu projeto. Um forte abraço, Cheers 🙂
How do you get to the engine now that the cabinet is behind the seats?
Hi Saartjie. I leave space enough to open the front seats and have access to the engine. I can also remove the furniture if I need, it's hold to the ground with 6 bolts. Cheers mate
@@RicardoBorgo81Thanks for the advice! Yes, I saw some people building cabinets behind the front seats behind the engine, but still, I don't know how they will check the oil.. Thanks for your comments! I am thankful to receive some feedback!
How do you do?
A nice car！
I get on Ground hiace!
Full-time vanlife is being enjoyed.
Hi Sky Walkers, that's nice, i used to live in a caravan full time for 4 years. If you make a video, please share here, i will love watch it. Cheers 😁
@@RicardoBorgo81Thank you very much.
@@RicardoBorgo81Your edit is wonderful!!!!
Mind asking how much its cost include van and all that ? thanks
Hi, here in NZ the van cost 19K and all the rest cost around 5-7K. But it's all new equipments, you can spend less if you want. Cheers ✌😉
Nice video! How much was the van by the way?
Thanks Rakib. I paid 19K for the van (2009 - 45000km) Auckland, New Zealand.
Great van! I'm wanting to convert my van commuter,. how do you remove internal roof panels? any tips, I'm planning to insulate then cover roof with planks,will this work ok, I noticed you replaced panels,love your work, more vids please , regards Paul
Hey Paul, how are you mate? I did not remove the roof panels, i kept all the original panels. You can use normal house walk insulation for the roof and wall. Check out my pictures, you can download it from the link on the video description. All the best for you. Cheers
No toilet or shower ?
Very nice video!
Que surpresa achar o seu canal!.
Moro em Auckland a 1 ano e estou a um tempo pensando na ideia de montar uma campervan.
Inscrito e like no video :D
.Ah depois da uma olhada no meu canal. ja fiz uns videos pela NZ tambem.
Flw :D
Fala Leo, tenho esse canal ja faz um tempo, mas não tenho muito talanto pra vlogs, então nao tenho tanto subscribers. Cara, se precisar de umas dicas com sua campervan manda um email que te passo meu cel pra batermos um papo, e se vier pra Tauranga te mostro minha camper. Vou checar seu canal lá! Abrax
Have you got merch ?
Hi Electron. Yes, we have some hats to sell, very good quality. Cheers bro. ( www.81productions.co.nz/online-store )
I'm sure I've seen you guys in the Mount.
Possibly, we live at the Mount. 😊
Eita.... entendi quase nada. Tive que ficar pausando o vídeo pra tentar traduzir 🤔🙈
É pra você treinar o Inglês Taninha! =D
what about toilet?
It's located under the bed, inside of a Wood box (Thetford Porta Potti Cube 145 12L)
Hiace in indonesia taller than you got
I just watched the begining. Did you mispronounce Hiace and call it Hiachi? Or was I hearing things?
If you watched only the beginning of the video and you are judging my pronunciation it's because you are not interested on the video content mate! Here is my question for you: Do you speak another language? If not, please try it for a couple of years, probably you will change the way you think about accent and pronunciation. Cheers
Ricardo Borgo 81 I speak a little Spanish. I have heard English speakers make this mistake as well . A name is a name. Wether I was speaking English or Spanish, your name is still Ricardo. I don’t change it to Richard. AND,, I am interested because I own a 96 Hiace Commuter. Great reliable transport. More reliable and cheaper to repair than the euro vans we are flooded with.
@@classicscustomsandhotrodso600 , probably you are right, but due this car is a Japanese car, I have no idea what is the correct pronunciation for Hiace, perhaps we can call to Toyota in Japan and ask them to speak it to us. Cheers mate =D
Ricardo Borgo 81 That is why I don’t understand why nobody here said anything. I saw a Canadian guy do the same thing and everyone soon came back and told him. Even native English speakers living in Japan. It seems they don’t get them in North America. It’s just a pity Toyota don’t build a bigger van like those big Euro vans but with Toyota reliability. A van to stay away from is those Renault things. Worst vans ever built.
Anyway, it’s simply Hi Ace Or Hi Ayse.
Very nice and neat job, we have done the same but with the previous model Hiace Commuter and we are very pleased with it.
We also have a vintage caravan that we fully restored and then sold it to have the van which gives us more flexibility to go camping here in Tasmania. We are looking forward to visiting NZ and not sure yet if we put our van in a shipping container and take it there or rent a camper there. Keep your dream alive, cheers. instagram.com/freetasman/?hl=en
If you come to NZ before the summer you will find campervan for rent with a good price. If you come to Tauranga text me, perhaps if can enjoy a cappuccino and talk about our campers. Cheers.
Toyota hi ass
