1996 Toyota HiAce Super Custom KZH138 SLWB High Roof 4WD Camper "Grey Nomad" — 3.0L Turbo Diesel

$28,900 — Lidcombe NSW — 163,965 km — Solar + 200Ah Lithium, 65L Fridge, Wet Room, Omnistor Awning — NSW Registration Included — 5-Year Warranty Included FREE — Delivery Australia-wide

A genuine JDM, full-time 4WD HiAce camper for sale in Lidcombe, Sydney NSW — long, tall, rare and set up for two.

The "Grey Nomad" is a 1996 Toyota HiAce Super Custom KZH138 — the super long wheelbase, high-roof 4WD body that gives a camper build real length and headroom. Under the bonnet is Toyota's 1KZ-TE 3.0L turbo diesel: pre-DPF, no AdBlue, and mechanically straightforward to look after. Good examples are getting rare — it's hard to find one like this anymore — and it has the comfort that only a Super Custom has.

Inside is a full camper conversion: a 65L fridge, sink and bench with fold-out extension, a 15L fresh/gray water, a rear wet room with hand basin, a dinette with facing bench seats and a fold-out table, overhead cabinets and a character-matching wooden interior throughout, insulated walls and floor, a 360° rotating fan, dual air conditioning and privacy curtains. It sleeps 2.

The power side is already done — 200W of roof solar and a 20A DC-DC charger feeding a 200Ah lithium house battery through a 20A MPPT controller, a 1000W inverter running dual 240V outlets with USB, and a battery monitor display. Wind out the Omnistor cassette awning and you've got shade wherever you park.

Why this HiAce stands apart

SLWB high roof, full-time 4WD. The longest, tallest H100 HiAce body on a genuine factory full-time 4WD chassis — room for a proper layout without giving up wet-road and gravel-track confidence.

Off-grid ready from day one. Solar, 200Ah lithium, 1000W inverter, 240V outlets, a 65L fridge and a rear wet room — already fitted.

Super Custom comfort. Dual air conditioning, remote central locking, insulated walls and floor and a character-matching wooden interior — the comfort only a Super Custom has.

Getting rare. Good H100 Super Custom 4WD campers are getting harder to find every year — it's hard to find an example like this one anymore.

A diesel without the modern complications. 1KZ-TE 3.0L turbo diesel — pre-DPF, no AdBlue, well understood by mechanics Australia-wide.

Verified history. Export-certificate odometer readings from 2019 and 2021 line up with today's dash reading — certificate available for inspection.

Registration included. Fresh service, roadworthy inspection, professional detail — and NSW registration arranged before delivery, all in the price.
