2008 Toyota HiAce TRH226K SLWB 4WD Campervan — Genuine FOCS AliZe — "The Tradewind"

$55,900 — Lidcombe NSW — 79,950 km — Genuine FOCS AliZe Factory Camper — Full-Time 4WD — Sleeps 6 — NSW Registered to 23 January 2027 — 5-Year Nationwide Warranty Included — Delivery Australia-Wide

A genuine Japanese factory campervan — a FOCS AliZe built by Fuji Cars Japan on the camper-specific HiAce Super Long 4WD platform, sleeping up to six, with just 79,950 certified kilometres.

This is the real thing. FOCS is the original campervan brand of Fuji Cars Japan — one of Japan's largest campervan builders, in the same conversion-house league as the Vantech builds Australians hunt for — and the AliZe is their family model, named for the alizé, the steady trade winds that carried sailors across oceans. It sits on the camper-specific HiAce Super Long wide-body high-roof platform (TRH226K) with genuine factory full-time 4WD — always on, no buttons to push — and Toyota's 2TR-FE 2.7L VVT-i petrol four: chain-driven, no timing belt to ever replace, and famously long-lived. A combination never sold new in Australia.

Built October 2008 and first registered in Japan that November, it comes with the kind of history most imports simply can't offer: a documented Japanese service file full of dated invoices, the original AliZe paperwork folder, and a JEVIC-certified odometer trail — 63,700 km in 2022, 76,100 km in 2024, 79,950 km today. It presents in 10/10 condition inside and out and has been through the full Rising Rides prep — a fresh service (every Rising Rides vehicle gets one, regardless — it's an Australian car now), mechanical inspection, roadworthy and professional detail — and is NSW Registered to 23 January 2027.

The camper build is all warm timber cabinetry and clever packaging — a sturdy timber floor underfoot, with walls and ceiling fully insulated. Six can travel, and up to six can sleep across three zones — fold the lounge into one huge 1.6 m × 2.2 m bed or keep the zones separate, with a third 1.6 m × 1.1 m berth across the back. The galley has a sink with running water (20 L fresh, 10 L grey), a fridge and prep bench, and there's an expandable shower point at the rear for rinsing off after the beach. A Webasto petrol heater, factory rear air-conditioning and heating, a 100 Ah AGM house battery, LED lighting and 360° privacy curtains handle the nights. Up front: leather seat covers and our custom wireless Apple CarPlay / Android Auto touchscreen with reverse camera. Want more off-grid capability — a second battery, solar, an inverter or an awning fitted before delivery? Just inquire.

Provenance & Compliance

Genuine FOCS AliZe by Fuji Cars Japan. A real conversion-house build from one of Japan's largest campervan builders — the AliZe is FOCS's family-focused model on the camper-specific HiAce Super Long platform, in the same conversion-house league as the well-known Vantech builds. Built October 2008, first registered in Japan November 2008, and sold with its documented Japanese service file; the original AliZe paperwork folder comes with the van.

Fresh JDM Import — Fully Complied, NSW Registered to 23 January 2027. It's an Australian car now — complied, registered and road-legal from the moment you drive it away. And like every Rising Rides vehicle, it's been given a fresh service regardless, plus a roadworthy and professional detail at our Lidcombe workshop.

Genuine JDM Import. Sourced directly from Japan, where strict periodic vehicle inspection (shaken) standards preserve vehicles in exceptional condition. A factory full-time 4WD petrol Super Long camper like this was never sold new in Australia — importing one is the only way to own it.

JEVIC-Certified Odometer History

Most importers can't show you a paper trail. We can. This van's odometer history is JEVIC certified, with dated readings recorded on its official Japanese export certificate and auction report:

7 July 2022

63,700 km — Japanese inspection record

12 July 2024

76,100 km — recorded on the export certificate

2026

79,950 km — Japanese auction report at purchase

A clean, consistent, independently certified kilometre trail — barely 8,000 km in the last two years — further backed by the dated service invoices in the van's Japanese service file. The original export certificate is available for inspection with the vehicle.

Why this HiAce stands apart

A genuine conversion-house build. FOCS AliZe by Fuji Cars Japan — one of Japan's largest campervan builders, in the same league as the Vantech conversions. Factory-grade engineering, not a DIY fit-out, with the paperwork to prove it.

Camper-specific from the chassis up. Built on the HiAce Super Long camper-specific platform — wide body, high roof, 1,620 mm of standing headroom.

Insulated and solid underfoot. Sturdy timber floor, with walls and ceiling fully insulated — warmer in winter, cooler in summer, quieter everywhere.

Genuine full-time 4WD. Always on — no buttons to push, no transfer case to manage. The go-anywhere HiAce drivetrain Australians hunt for, factory-fitted.

Sleeps six, three ways. Three sleeping zones that work as separate beds or fold into one huge 1.6 m × 2.2 m platform, plus a 1.6 m × 1.1 m rear berth — a genuine family camper.

Just 79,950 certified kilometres. JEVIC-certified trail with dated readings — barely 8,000 km in the last two years — backed by a documented Japanese service file.

Four-season ready. Webasto petrol heater off the van's own tank, factory rear air-conditioning and heating, and 360° privacy curtains.

Real water on board. Sink with running water, 20 L fresh and 10 L grey tanks, and an expandable rear shower point for camp clean-ups.

Chain-driven petrol simplicity. The 2TR-FE 2.7 has no timing belt, no turbo and no injector dramas — cheap to service and famously durable.

The Rising Rides signature fit-out — upgraded. Custom touchscreen player and reverse camera fitted as standard, and on this van it's the wireless Apple CarPlay / Android Auto unit.
