Simple Surf Build: 2022 Toyota HiAce SLWB Conversion

A quick, clean fitout built for the local Wollongong surf crew. This build was also used to prototype some of our first birch ply lining panels for the H300 SLWB, making it an early testbed for what became part of our standard product range. The whole setup is fully modular and can be removed easily when needed.

Key features include:

  • Birch Ply Wall Lining: Full wall lining in birch ply, one of the first prototypes developed for this van model.
  • Custom EasyLounge with Hinged Bed Extension: A modified EasyLounge setup where the bed extension hinges out rather than slides, keeping the mechanism simple and the space flexible.
  • Bedside Table: Built-in bedside table for additional storage within reach of the bed.
  • Fully Modular Setup: The entire fitout is designed to be removed cleanly if the van needs to return to standard use.


    A no-fuss build that gets the job done — comfortable for weekend surf trips and easy to live with day to day.
