Toyota HiAce camper conversion
The HiAce comes in 2 variants in the planner, with cargo areas from 2.53 m to 3.18 m long inside and payloads up to about 1,100 kg. Drivetrains: RWD.
No — you cannot stand up in a Toyota HiAce: even the tallest version (SLWB) has 1.62 m floor-to-headliner, about 1.55 m after a typical 7 cm floor and ceiling build-up, so adults sit, crouch or pop the top.
Interior dimensions by variant
Interior figures are between the walls and floor-to-headliner, derived from manufacturer specs and calibrated against published cargo dimensions. Payload ≈ gross weight minus kerb weight — it varies with engine and options, so treat it as a planning guide.

What fits
- Standing: the tallest variant has 1.61 m inside; after a ~7 cm floor and ceiling build-up you sit, crouch or pop the top — this is not a stand-up van.
- Bed across: the widest variant measures 1.77 m between the walls — short of a 1.86 m mattress, so plan the bed lengthwise or add wheel-box flares.
- Parking: at 1.99 m tall outside, the lowest variant clears a standard 2.0 m garage barrier.
Payload budget
Depending on variant, the HiAce carries roughly 1,060 kg to 1,100 kg of conversion, gear, water and people before hitting the gross weight limit. A typical full build lands between 400 and 700 kg before you pack — weigh the plan before you cut.

The gallery has no layout on the Toyota HiAce yet. Its floor plans are drawn on other vans; the planner starts a HiAce with its real interior dimensions and you draw your own layout.
Frequently asked
How long is the HiAce inside?
The cargo area runs from 2.53 m in the shortest variant to 3.18 m in the longest, measured from the bulkhead to the rear doors.
Can I stand up in a Toyota HiAce?
No — you cannot stand up in a Toyota HiAce: even the tallest version (SLWB) has 1.62 m floor-to-headliner, about 1.55 m after a typical 7 cm floor and ceiling build-up, so adults sit, crouch or pop the top. By roof height — LWB: 1.34 m raw, ~1.27 m finished — sit-down only; SLWB: 1.62 m raw, ~1.55 m finished — sit-down only. Rule of thumb: you need a raw interior height of your own height plus 10 cm.
How much payload does a HiAce have for a conversion?
Roughly 1,060 kg to 1,100 kg depending on variant and engine — gross weight minus kerb weight. The build, water, gear and passengers all come out of that number.
Are there ready-made Toyota HiAce camper layouts or floor plans?
Not in the gallery yet. The planner has every HiAce variant with its real interior, so you can draw the floor plan in an empty van or start from a template.
Figures derived from manufacturer specifications; interior dimensions calibrated against published cargo volumes. Always verify against your actual vehicle — model years differ.

Who makes this
I'm Vladimir. I'm planning my own conversion, and none of the tools I tried could tell me whether a layout would fit or what it would do to the rear axle, so I made this one. I work on it alone. If something's wrong or missing, write to me — the address goes to my inbox.
