2002 Toyota Coaster Motorhome for Sale — Full Self-Contained Conversion | Sydney NSW

This is not a campervan. This is a fully self-contained motorhome — built properly, certified completely, and ready to go anywhere in Australia from the moment you drive it off our Lidcombe yard.

The 2002 Toyota Coaster needs no introduction. It is one of the most reliable, most capable coach chassis ever made — and this example has been converted to a standard that most new motorhomes don't come close to. At 246,000 km with a 1HZ diesel running an aftermarket turbo upgrade, it has barely hit its stride — and it goes like a rocket.

Gas certified. Electrically certified. Running water. Cassette toilet. Solar. Lithium power. Diesel heater. TV. Dishwasher. GVM adjusted for a car licence. Four-seater engineering certified. Aftermarket turbo on the 1HZ — this thing moves. Everything included. One price: $59,500.

Engine & Performance — 1HZ 4.2L Diesel + Aftermarket Turbo

Toyota's 1HZ is a 4.2-litre inline-six diesel — one of the most proven, most indestructible coach engines ever built. Known in factory naturally aspirated form for extreme reliability and 400,000+ km longevity. This one has had an aftermarket turbo fitted, and it has transformed the vehicle completely.

The performance difference is night and day. Where a stock 1HZ Coaster hauls itself along with measured determination, this one pulls with genuine authority from low revs — loaded with gear, passengers, and supplies, it gets up and goes. Overtaking on the highway becomes effortless. Hills that would have the factory engine working hard are dispatched without drama. It goes like a rocket.

The 1HZ bottom end is built to take boost — the engine internals are robust and the turbo upgrade is a well-established modification on this platform. You get the legendary 1HZ reliability foundation with a power delivery that makes it genuinely enjoyable to drive every day. Paired with the 5-speed manual gearbox, it is an engaging, capable combination.

Car Licence Eligible — GVM Adjusted & Engineering Certified
