This Chinese company turned the Toyota Hiace into a proper Hollywood-style RV.
Most companies do this by simply adding convertible sofa-beds and basic sinks.
But this tuner went one step further.
They added a toilet.
The Toyota Hiace lends itself well to this sort of thing
The Toyota Hiace (sometimes spelled HiAce) is one of the largest vehicles you can buy on a standard driver’s license.
It’s a van, but it’s the size of a bus.
Standing 7.5 feet tall and measuring 19.4 feet (5.9 meters) in length, it is also quite wide at 6.4 feet.
So, if the plan is to turn your vehicle into an overlander or a Hollywood-style RV, the Hiace is probably your best bet.
Maybe even better than a Mercedes V-Class or an equivalent van.
Mainly because it’s larger.
This company added a literal toilet
Chinese aftermarket builders turned a standard Toyota Hiace van into a VIP lounge on wheels.
And apparently they’re only asking $50,000 for it.
The cabin was stripped and rebuilt with plush red leather seats that fold completely flat into a bed.
They also added a multi-colored LED starlight headliner and a massive flat-screen TV hidden behind a wood-trimmed partition
But the craziest part is the toilet.
Most standard vans are equipped with basic, utilitarian seats, and only a lucky few feature a kitchen sink.
But we’d never seen one with an actual toilet.
Not even Camperghini, the guy who turned his Lamborghini Urus into an RV, thought of this.
Top Gear did it on a couple of occasions
On a few occasions, Jeremy Clarkson did add rudimentary toilets to his modified vehicles.
He did it at least three times.
The first time he did so, almost two decades ago, was when he and James drove to the North Pole with a Toyota Hilux, which, among other things, featured a toilet installed in the rear bumper.
He did it again a few years later, in India, when he added a toilet to the front of his Jaguar XJS.
Then he did it again in Africa, when the trio traveled to the find the source of the Nile in 2013.
On that occasion, he removed the passenger seat of his BMW and added a toilet.
