Van life is well and truly booming in Australia, with more travellers keen to get off the laptop and see the country properly. Headspace campers are tapping into that appetite with their latest Toyota HiAce Bus 4×4 Conversion leisure fit out, built for people who want to load up, head bush and stay out longer.
Based on the Bus 4×4 conversion of the Toyota HiAce, the setup has already proven itself in the real world.
On its first proper trip, it handled everything from fast inland tracks to low range crawling and soft sand without missing a beat. Extra ground clearance and a 45mm front lift came into their own, while traction control kept things moving when the tracks got rough.
Inside, it is all about practical van life living.
There is a smart sleep and seating layout, heaps of usable storage and a compact kitchen that actually works on the road.
Tough materials and a simple, well thought out design make this HiAce a solid option for Aussies chasing freedom, not just weekends away. Talk about inspo!
