This is the van we just bought. It is a 1987 Toyota Hiace which has been converted to a Camperven by a company called Sunliner in Victoria. It’s been around Australia a few times (150,000 miles) and we are hoping it has one more trip left in her. In my opinion the ’87 is a great vintage, It was one of the first native unleaded engines and one of the last fully mechanical ones which makes most roadside fixes possible. No computer or electronics to fail just steel and grease.
I drove South from Perth yesterday to a place called Buffalo Beach. I am currently posting this blog in the passenger seat while Karen has her first go at the wheel on our way to Bunbury.
