1994 Toyota HiAce LH123 SLWB Grand Cabin Extra High Roof Campervan for Sale — Sydney NSW — Sleeps 4, Diesel, 132,300km
$26,800 — 132,300 km — 3 Seats / Sleeps 4 — NSW Registered until 15 Oct 2026 — 5-Year Nationwide Warranty Included
Grand Cabin. The most respected of all the Toyota HiAce campers. Toyota Japan's flagship JDM HiAce trim, in the rare LH123 SLWB Extra High Roof configuration — and this 1994 example has just landed in our Lidcombe, Sydney workshop super clean, super roomy, fully kitted-out and ready to see the red dust the way it was meant to be seen.
Just landed. Built November 1994. JEVIC-certified at 132,300 km, which is extraordinary for a vehicle that left the Toyota factory 32 years ago. Full Australian compliance is complete and NSW registration is current through 15 October 2026 — drive away today, no waiting on paperwork. Under the Extra High Roof you get full standing headroom — a meaningful step up from the regular high roof — and the LH123 SLWB body adds the extra length serious campervan buyers look for. Grand Cabin trim is the reason these vans are still hunted down three decades on.
Power comes from Toyota's legendary 3L engine — a 2.8-litre four-cylinder naturally-aspirated, mechanically-injected diesel famous across Australia and Japan for bulletproof simplicity. There's no turbo to fail, no common-rail electronics to fault, no DPF to clog and no AdBlue to top up. It's a proper pre-electronic workhorse — the kind of engine bush mechanics keep running on a wing and a prayer, and the kind that just won't quit. Paired with the smooth 4-speed automatic transmission and 2WD layout, it returns a real-world 10.5–12.5 L/100km combined, with around 560–670 km of range from the 70-litre tank. Three seats up front, four sleeping berths inside.
The camper conversion is properly thought-out for serious travel. Inside the SLWB Extra High Roof Grand Cabin shell, you sleep four: a pull-down overhead bed drops from the ceiling and comfortably accommodates two, while the dinette converts to a massive second bed for another two. The kitchen is beautifully laid out — a 3-way 45-litre fridge that runs on 12V, 240V or LPG gas (true off-grid capability), a 2-burner gas cooktop, a stainless sink, and timber-accented cabinetry with drawers, overhead lockers and shelving. A digital-control diesel heater keeps the cabin warm on alpine and winter trips. A roof exhaust fan and a dedicated roof vent fan handle airflow. A 200W roof solar panel feeds a charge controller and a 240Ah AGM house battery bank (2 × 120Ah), with a 1000W inverter delivering 240V mains power and a multi-switch ‘gang button’ control panel keeping every system within reach.
Outside, a big side awning extends with a single-person setup — no struggling at the end of a driving day. A rear door ladder gives easy roof access for solar checks, roof loading or awning adjustments. A rear flynet lets the breeze through without the insects. A roof rack adds cargo capacity for bigger trips. Up front, the cabin has been brought into the modern era with a smooth-operating wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto head unit, a reverse camera, and — critically — a constant-on rear-view mirror camera that gives you full rear visibility at all times. Aftermarket multi-spoke alloy wheels finish off the classic Grand Cabin look — gold side stripe, chrome trim, the unmistakable boxy Extra High Roof silhouette. Super clean inside and out, fully serviced and detailed in our Lidcombe workshop, and shipped with the Rising Rides unique approach to the market: a 5-Year Nationwide Premium Warranty included at no extra cost, NSW registration done, and lifetime support from our team.

5-Year Nationwide Premium Warranty — Included At No Extra Cost
Every Rising Rides vehicle ships with a 5-Year Nationwide Premium Warranty included at no extra cost — underwritten by AWN Insurance (Australian Warranty Network), rated 4.8★ from 2,300+ verified reviews on ProductReview.com.au (96% positive).

Provenance & Compliance
JEVIC-Certified Odometer. Every Rising Rides vehicle arrives with JEVIC-certified odometer documentation. JEVIC is the independent Japanese export inspection authority that physically verifies odometer accuracy before export. The 132,300 km reading you see is the reading the inspector verified — not an owner-reported figure.
Full Australian Compliance — Ready to Register. This vehicle has completed full Australian compliance certification, signed off by qualified Australian engineers. Lighting, seatbelts, tyres, VSB (Vehicle Standards Bulletin) requirements — all verified and approved. NSW registered and road-legal through 15 October 2026 from the moment you drive it away. No import project, no waiting on paperwork.
Genuine JDM Import. Sourced directly from Japan, where strict biennial vehicle inspection (shaken) standards and salt-free roads preserve vehicles in exceptional mechanical and body condition. The Grand Cabin Extra High Roof — Toyota Japan's flagship HiAce camper trim — was never available new in the Australian market, making JDM imports the only route to this specification.
Why this HiAce stands apart
Grand Cabin trim — the flagship. Toyota Japan's top-tier H100 HiAce specification. Premium fittings, premium interior finish, the most respected JDM HiAce camper trim ever offered.
LH123 SLWB Extra High Roof — the rare combination. Super-long wheelbase length plus the Extra High Roof. More floor space and more cargo volume than the LWB, plus full standing headroom — exactly the configuration serious campervan buyers chase.
132,300 km on a 1994 van. Extraordinary preservation. JEVIC-verified, not owner-claimed. The Japanese biennial shaken inspection regime keeps these vans honest in a way the Australian market rarely matches.
Toyota 3L engine — the bulletproof one. 2.8L naturally-aspirated mechanical-injection diesel. No turbo. No electronics. No DPF. No AdBlue. The simplest and most forgiving HiAce diesel Toyota ever made — and arguably the most rebuildable.
Pull-down bed + dinette bed = sleeps 4. Two genuine sleeping zones. The overhead pull-down bed drops for couples or kids; the dinette converts into a massive second bed. Both work simultaneously — no compromise.
Digital-control diesel heater. Proper warm-cabin capability for alpine drives, southern winters and high-altitude camping. Far beyond what most JDM campers ship with at this age.
3-way 45L fridge. Runs on 12V, 240V or LPG gas — true off-grid kitchen capability. The kind of fridge serious overlanders specify deliberately.
Dual cameras — full visibility. Reverse camera AND a constant-on rear-view mirror camera. You always know what's behind you, in any gear. Rare on a JDM van of this era.
Big single-person awning + rear door ladder. Real travel features — set up shade alone, climb to the roof without acrobatics.
