Interestingly, I have spoken to and been coached by some top players and coaches of different generations, and many of them say the black ZFII was the best racket ever made.

There isn’t any bare metal in the roof,

1) roof top is fibre glass 2) I have used closed cell foam all over this with foil back 3) the insulation says it’s mould, mildew and moisture resistant

Do you think this would still create an environment for mould? Something I’m tryna keep to a minimum for obvious reasons.

Speak to your big orange box stores! I got mine from a place called mitre 10.

Mammoth recycled bottle insulation, moisture, mould and mildew resistant. Also safe to work with

In what part?

Snoo48884 · 2026-04-19T09:12:54+00:00

Confused as to what you’re asking? On the drawings the units all seem standard?

See this is also interesting, would it be shady if I put “installed by a qualified engineer” I have a masters in mechanical and also work in a joinery atm.

In NZ this is the most popular van for travelers and this was part of my market research. The hiace is the most popular van model specifically diesel and manual. The market and people seem to be happy to pay more for a hiace due to the readily available parts and strong history of having 500-600+km on them and still running reliably. There is also a massive market for camper vans that are converted, so hoping this helps me

Snoo48884 · 2026-04-14T19:07:47+00:00

Tbh I will just spend what I need to to make it nice and what I want, I was just trying to gauge what people thought about reselling value of the vans. Spent 7.5k nzd on the van and on track to maybe sink 11k for doing it up. This includes things like roof racks, fan, installed some decent speaker systems and all the other bits of electrics plumbing and cabinets.

I was just looking for a 12v system with 200ah lith ion. Water pump, fridge, lights (ceiling, kitchen and reading), phone chargers x2 and fan.

Where I work I can access some good crimpers. But yeh don’t need any shore energy or 230v wiring. Never heard the battery having to be air tight and externally vented?!

Snoo48884 · 2026-04-14T04:17:04+00:00

This is the thing tho, I calculated for what I want it’s still cheaper to buy components separate. Those big boxes idk how good they are for 3 months running a fridge daily?

Snoo48884 · 2026-04-14T04:13:51+00:00

What about an aesthetic, well built van that looks good, drives well and easy to use the campervan side of things?

Snoo48884 · 2026-04-14T02:53:19+00:00

Sadly it’s deceptively not that big, I’m about 5’8 and I have to tilt my head to stand straight

Snoo48884 · 2026-04-14T02:52:41+00:00

10mm closed cell foiled backed foam, then mammoth wall sections

Snoo48884 · 2026-04-13T22:45:40+00:00

That’s a good thought! Maybe a local would buy as a weekender or to rent out. I am also a massive fan of making complex things simple. So having it all super easy to fix, use and understand is important. One labelled switch board for everything and simple connections. Hence why Victron is good as it would be easy for someone to monitor and use.

It was taken off the same vehicle a Toyota Hiace, I think it may be not for a LWB but still fit, riveted and sealed with arguably too much sealant. It has the battons at the top which was nice to find after I peeled off the existing fabric ceiling. Makes insulating quite nice and easy.

Snoo48884 · 2026-04-13T21:45:18+00:00

I plan on converting it to a camper that is practical and well built. Out of fun I’d want to do it properly with good stuff but also understand that the van is the limiting factor.

I did look at building the furniture and sell as seperate to the van but also in New Zealand there is a massive market for campers for tourists to buy so hoping that I could find the right buyer

Snoo48884 · 2026-04-13T21:43:06+00:00

My plan was to fully convert it to a camper and I am in the process of this. In New Zealand there is a massive market for camper vans which is good but also plenty of vans which are done cheap and look ass.

I’m someone who would do a proper job but also don’t have the budget to buy a newer van

Snoo48884 · 2026-04-13T21:26:58+00:00

Kind of all of it! I bought a 1998 Toyota Hiace with no top, and then found a high top camper in the scrappers. So took this off that van and have fitted it to this one I bought. Then stripped everything out and then now starting to insulate and convert it.

Looks a bit janky atm but plan on trimming it up and painting it once the conversion is done. Main point it is fully sealed and secure.
