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.
Every vehicle sold by Rising Rides comes with a comprehensive 5-year mechanical warranty, underwritten by AWN Insurance (Australian Warranty Network) — independently rated 4.8★ across 2,300+ verified reviews on ProductReview.com.au. This is award-winning, industry-leading cover.
Most dealers charge $2,000–$4,000 for equivalent cover. At Rising Rides, it comes free with every vehicle.
• Duration: 5 years, Australia-wide
• No excess payable on any claim
• No kilometre limit
• No claim limit — unlimited claims over the warranty term
• Per-claim cap: $1,750 per claim
• Underwriter: AWN Insurance (Australian Warranty Network)
You also get lifetime support from the Rising Rides family — we are here long after the sale.
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.

This motorhome has had its Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) adjusted so it falls within the legal threshold for a standard Australian car (C-class) licence — no heavy vehicle or bus licence required. It is also 4-seater engineering certified, meaning you can carry the driver and three passengers legally.
This is a significant engineering certification and adds real value. Many motorhome conversions of this size are not car-licence eligible. This one is — properly done, with the paperwork to prove it.
The rear conversion is a genuine, thoughtfully built motorhome layout with full self-contained certification. Everything works. Everything is included in the sale price.

The LPG gas installation in this motorhome is certified under Gas Supply (Consumer Safety) Regulation 2018 as a non-network connected gas installation. The certification is current and on file. This is not a DIY gas install — it has been tested and signed off by a licensed contractor.
Two LPG cylinders are housed in a dedicated external locker with ventilation — safely mounted, correctly plumbed, and regulation compliant.
This Coaster has been genuinely well looked after for its age. It has been freshly detailed inside and out. A brand new bed has been fitted. The interior has been brightened throughout.
The bus body is in the condition you would expect from a well-maintained 2002 vehicle — solid, straight, and properly presented. Not perfect (no 23-year-old vehicle is), but honest and road-ready. It has been inspected, serviced, and prepared before listing.
