A 1998 Toyota Camroad carrying a genuine Vantech factory motorhome body — immaculately and professionally upgraded by Rising Rides at our Lidcombe workshop with brand-new, factory-guaranteed accessories throughout. This is not a budget conversion. Every appliance is new, every system has been thoroughly revised, and the electrical fit-out has been built to AS/NZS 3001.2:2022 compliance with a Certificate of Electrical Safety issued. This is a serious off-grid rig, built and certified properly.
Under the bonnet sits Toyota's legendary 3L 2.8L naturally aspirated diesel — one of the most proven, bulletproof engines ever fitted to a van. No turbo, no DPF, no AdBlue, no complexity. Just a mechanical diesel that has been running reliably for decades and will keep running with basic maintenance at any general mechanic in Australia. Full service history on record. Timing belt and all accessory belts replaced. All oils changed including transmission oil. New Shurflo water pump. Roadworthy certificate issued.
The drivetrain is equally special — and genuinely rare on a motorhome. This Camroad runs a genuine part-time 4WD system with manual locking hubs and a dual-range transmission. 2WD high range on the highway for fuel efficiency and drivetrain longevity. 4WD low range when the campsite track turns muddy, the grass is wet, or the road gets rough. You choose when it's on. No wet grass anxiety. No hesitation on a dusty road. 2WD when you don't need it, 4WD when you do — exactly the way 4WD was designed to work. This specification does not exist on modern motorhomes being built today.
The 640W solar array feeds a 300Ah LiFePO4 lithium bank through dual Renogy MPPT controllers, backed by a Renogy Pro 3000W HF pure sine inverter charger — 3000W continuous, 6000W surge, >91% peak efficiency, <4% THD, 16A automatic transfer switch with max 20ms transfer time, and internal RCD. Shore power connects via a 15A AC inlet with integrated 16A RCD, IP44 rated, compliant with Australian and New Zealand RV electrical standards. The Gecko 142L fridge/freezer, Westinghouse induction cooktop, Kings reverse-cycle air conditioner, and Duetto MK2 hot water system all run completely unplugged from the battery — which continues to charge via the Renogy DC-DC charger while you drive. Six RCBO-protected 240V outlets throughout, AS/NZS 3001.2:2022 compliant, Certificate of Electrical Safety issued. Want to upgrade to 600Ah lithium for immortal power? Just ask.
Six seats and six genuine sleeping berths. The overcab loft comfortably fits three adults as a fixed permanent sleeping area. The dinette converts into a massive three-berth zone below. Private ensuite: cassette toilet, separate shower with hot water, vanity basin with hot and cold water. Brand-new standalone GPS navigation and brand-new Apple CarPlay / Android Auto stereo. NSW registered and ready to drive away. Delivery available Australia-wide.
