Off-grid Adventure Van | Work-friendly, Surf-ready, Brisbane Pickup. Meet your ultimate road trip companion— Tilly. The fully self-contained 2009 Toyota Hiace that’s ready to hit the road from just 25 mins outside Brisbane Airport📍 This van is designed for long trips, flexible living, and off-grid camping. With a smart layout and plenty of storage, it’s super comfy whether you’re exploring the coast, camping inland, or working remotely from the road. 🔋 Fully Off-Grid & Worry-Free Power Powered by a 175W solar panel and DC-DC charging system feeding a 100Ah lithium battery, the electrical system takes care of itself—no need to think about it. Plug in a laptop, charge your phone, run the fridge—all sorted. 🛏️ Relax, Lounge, Sleep By day: a comfy couch and functional desk space (perfect for remote work or chilling inside on rainy days). By night: the couch slides out into a full double bed with a high-density memory foam mattress—sleep comes easy. 🍳 Simple, Smart Cooking Setup Indoor sink with electric water pump Outdoor kitchen bench for cooking under the stars 42L fresh water tank + 20L grey water (easy fill & drain) All cooking gear, utensils, gas stove, table and chairs included 🧼 Outdoor Shower Option There’s a handy bidet outlet that doubles as a refreshing outdoor shower for beach days or remote camps.

    Booked Tilly for 4 days down to Byron Bay and couldnt be happier. Jake was super helpful with the pick up and handover The inside of the van looks absolutely stunning and everything is designed to be practical and comfortable. You can genuinely tell hes put a lot of thought and work into it. The little touches made it awesome the full spice set, the inside fans to keep you cool, and all the small details that make van life effortless. Highly recommend hiring from Jake!

    Tilly was a superb campervan which really made our trip extra special. The facilities, utensils and set up was perfect for a few days camping in the Gold Coast hinterlands. The van drove really well and was easy to move around from place to place and was able to get into normal car park spots. Jake was fantastic with the handover and helping us out with little questions here and there throughout the trip.

    We had such an amazing time with Tilly at the festival! The van was spotless, tidy, and really well equipped, everything we needed was there, and cooking was super easy. Tilly drives great and made our trip so comfortable and fun. Communication with Jake was fantastic from start to finish. The handover was smooth and easy, and he was really flexible and accommodating, which made everything stress-free. We couldnt have asked for a better experience, highly recommend both Jake and Tilly!

Hey, Im Jake from Journey Van Builds! I build campervans for a living and share the whole process on YouTube to help other DIY van builders chase their own adventures. I built Tilly the Toyota a couple of years ago and shes been my home on wheels ever since from road trips along the East Coast to day-to-day life on the Sunshine Coast. Now that Im running my own van conversion business, Im excited to be able to share a piece of that freedom and adventure with others. Tillys an awesome little home for anyone wanting to experience van life in comfort and style. I hope you love traveling in her as much as I have!
