Travel Smarter: Top 5 Accessories for Your Toyota Hiace Campervan

So, you've converted your Toyota Hiace into a campervan – or you're planning to. Now it’s time to make life on the road even better with essential camper accessories that improve comfort, function, and adventure.

Here are the top 5 accessories every Hiace camper owner in Australia should consider.

1. Roof-Mounted Solar Panels

If you're planning off-grid camping, solar power is a must.

• Keep your fridge, lights, and electronics running

• 200W–300W kits are perfect for most Hiace setups

• Pair with a deep cycle or lithium battery

• Look for portable or fixed options

Pro tip: Add a solar charge controller with Bluetooth to monitor usage.

2. Side Awning or Awning Tent

Australia’s sun is harsh — shade is your friend.

• Instant outdoor living area

• Great for cooking, dining, or relaxing

• Waterproof, UV-resistant canvas

• Brands like Kings or Dometic offer Hiace-compatible kits

Some awnings come with walls or mosquito mesh for extra privacy.

Space inside the van is valuable — move gear to the roof.

• Store chairs, recovery gear, or surfboards

• Hard-shell storage boxes keep items safe and dry

• Aluminium roof racks with tie-down points are ideal

Make sure the total height of your setup remains under 2.1m for car park access.

4. Fridge/Freezer Combo Unit

No camper setup is complete without cold drinks and fresh food.

• 30L–50L 12V fridge/freezers work well for Hiace

• Brands like Engel, Dometic, or Brass Monkey are trusted

• Choose a dual-zone if you want both fridge and freezer

• Mount on a slide tray for easy access

5. Swivel Seat Base (Driver or Passenger)

Maximise interior space by rotating your front seats.

• Converts cab area into part of your living zone

• Great for small Hiace layouts

• Some kits are ADR-compliant for legal use in Australia

• Available for most Hiace years (2005 onward)

Bonus Add-Ons to Consider

• Portable toilet or pop-up shower tent

• Roof vent or Maxxair fan

• Water filter for tanks

• LED light strips with dimmers

• Insulated window covers
