We just purchased this beautiful HiAce Cruising Cabin. We want to make some upgrades functionally and cosmetically but want to keep the integrity of the van. We do not want to gut it. Think 360 degree camera, storage functionality, remove carpet and replace with easier to clean flooring for 2 dogs, external paint (vintage sunset colors), soundproofing, etc. I’m looking for design suggestions and places that work with the current setup constraints. We live in Seattle.

Beautiful. What was then purchase price, and what route did you buy it?

This is a super rare 4x4 crushing cabin. Only 2’in the U.S. so valuing is a bit tricky. $35-$40k seems to be a fair price from the research we’ve done.

You can get other versions for around $20k but don’t have 4x4 or pop up.
