Hiace 4 x 4 diesel pop top

I visited Brett's camper care a couple of days ago and this MH was having some work done. I spoke to the owner (David) and he told me it was for sale. I took a couple of photos and his number for anyone that may be interested. I didn't check anything mechanical but there was no smoke on start up, the diesel sounded good. It was a pretty good set up over all. It has a wet room with portable toilet at the back (it looked like an extension). It does need some panel work around the top where the roof extension has been fitted (rust bubbling under paint). He wants $15500 for it. His number is 0411492588.

That poptop sure is intersting looking, is the mini luton peak just for stored or does a bed somehow fit up there like the Kombi campers had?

No it was just storage I think. It looks like a tidy camper. Just some minor panel work.

G'day,

Not bad at all...but my Delica beats it hands down 8-)

The amount of rear overhang is a bit scary.

G'day,

Following on from the theme, take a look at this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIG9P0lB1iA

It's a VW camper with quite a difference - actually it's just bloody amazing! If you're into campervans, then this will definitely get you drooling!

Oh BTW, this one is BETTER than mine...yikes, did I say that? :lol:

Imagine trying to level that on anything but a workshop concrete floor. how do you get the water and leaves and other crap off the slide out roof before you pack it up in the rain?
Trick, but for me, that's it, doesn't interest me at all, even though it has a VW badge :lol:

I can't believe it's $AUD81516.87 and they've even outsourced advertising the thing! :lol:

Great if you only need zero road clearance, but I've seen the video of you digging yourself out of outback mud Eddie and somehow I think this would frustrate you - unless you are confining all your travels to bitumen.
