A Toyota HiAce full conversion from Kinmel Campers transforms your HiAce panel van into a fully integrated, structurally sound campervan designed for dependable UK and European touring. Rather than offering a partial fit-out or removable furniture kit, we deliver a purpose-built conversion engineered entirely in-house by experienced campervan specialists.

Based in North Wales, Kinmel Campers brings over 30 years of hands-on experience in bespoke campervan conversions. As a result, every build combines intelligent design, premium materials, and real-world practicality. Consequently, you receive a campervan that performs reliably whether you are commuting daily or travelling across Europe.

What Is Included in a Toyota HiAce Full Conversion?

The Toyota HiAce full conversion equips your vehicle with all the core systems required for touring, daily usability, and extended stays away from home. Importantly, we permanently install and structurally secure every component. Therefore, nothing feels temporary, unstable, or loosely fitted.

🛠️ Structural & Interior Foundation

First, we prepare the vehicle shell properly to ensure long-term durability. We install:

• Full multi-layer thermal insulation

• Acoustic sound barrier installation

• Vehicle-specific structural ply lining

• Automotive carpet lining (your choice of colour/finish)

• Reinforced touring-grade subfloor and finish

Because the Toyota HiAce is often used for long-distance travel, insulation and sound control remain essential. Consequently, the interior maintains stable temperatures while reducing road and engine noise. As a result, both short trips and extended tours become significantly more comfortable.

🍳 Fully Integrated Side Kitchen Unit

Next, we install a professionally built side kitchen unit as a central feature of the Toyota HiAce full conversion.

The kitchen includes:

• Twin gas hob for reliable cooking

• Integrated sink with pumped water supply

• Fresh water tank and waste water tank

• Integrated fridge

• Fully plumbed water system ready to use

• Secure cupboard storage

Unlike temporary camper setups, this kitchen forms a permanent structural installation. Therefore, you can cook and clean confidently without relying on portable equipment or loose fittings.

Furthermore, we design the cabinetry to maximise the usable space within the HiAce layout while maintaining balanced weight distribution.

🛏️ Rock & Roll Bed System

Sleeping comfort remains essential in any campervan build. For this reason, every Toyota HiAce full conversion includes a professionally installed rock & roll bed system.

The rock & roll bed:

• Functions as structured seating during the day

• Converts into a spacious sleeping platform at night

• Includes upholstery colour options

• Has reinforced structural mounting

• Provides practical under-bed storage

We secure the bed directly to reinforced mounting points within the vehicle shell. Consequently, stability remains predictable during braking and cornering. Meanwhile, the folding mechanism allows quick transformation between seating and sleeping positions.

As a result, your HiAce offers both touring comfort and everyday practicality.

🔋 Independent Electrical System

In addition, the Toyota HiAce full conversion includes a dedicated electrical system built around a high-quality lithium leisure battery.

The system includes:

• Lithium leisure battery with superior usable capacity

• Split-charge relay (charges while driving)

• Battery monitoring read-out panel

• Fused distribution board

• LED interior lighting

• USB charging ports and 12V outlets

Because the leisure system operates independently from the starter battery, you protect engine reliability. Furthermore, lithium technology provides faster charging and longer lifespan compared to traditional battery systems.

We route and label all wiring professionally. Therefore, maintenance and future upgrades remain straightforward.

Optional Add-Ons (Not Included in Standard Package)

Although the standard Toyota HiAce full conversion includes all essential touring systems, you may choose to enhance your build further.

Diesel Heater Installation — Optional

A diesel heater is not included in the base Toyota HiAce full conversion package. However, you can add a professionally fitted diesel heater if you intend to travel during colder months.

When selected, the heater:

• Draws fuel directly from the vehicle tank

• Distributes warm air evenly throughout the living space

• Extends usability into winter conditions

Therefore, you can convert your HiAce into a fully capable all-season campervan.

Elevating Pop-Top Roof Conversion

Furthermore, you may opt for a professionally installed pop-top roof. This upgrade increases internal standing height and improves ventilation. In addition, it can provide optional roof sleeping space depending on configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions

❓ What defines a true Toyota HiAce full conversion?

A true Toyota HiAce full conversion permanently integrates insulation, a rock & roll bed, kitchen, electrics, plumbing, and ventilation into one engineered system. In contrast, temporary camper kits rely on removable equipment. Therefore, a full conversion ensures long-term reliability and safety.

❓ Is a diesel heater included in the package?

No. Diesel heater installation remains optional and is not part of the base conversion package.

❓ Can I customise the interior?

Yes. You can choose upholstery colours, cabinet finishes, and flooring styles. Meanwhile, we maintain structural integrity and safety standards throughout the build.

❓ How long does the conversion take?

Once scheduled, most Toyota HiAce full conversions require approximately 3–4 weeks. However, build time may vary depending on selected upgrades.

❓ Can the conversion support off-grid camping?

Yes. Because the lithium electrical system, plumbed water setup, and insulation operate independently, you can travel off-grid for extended periods.

❓ Can I still use the HiAce for daily driving?

Absolutely. The layout preserves everyday practicality while providing full touring capability whenever needed.
