2002 Toyota Coaster BB50R Motorhome - White - DIY Conversion Project - Registered WA

2002 Toyota Coaster BB50R, 15B-FTE 4.1L Turbo Diesel 4-Cylinder, Automatic Transmission, Rear Wheel Drive, GVM 4,990kg



Description

This Toyota Coaster BB50R bus has been converted to a motorhome with a DIY fit-out featuring double bunk sleeping, kitchen facilities, and off-grid electrical capability. The Coaster BB50R is built on Toyota's proven commercial bus platform with the legendary 15B-FTE 4.1L turbocharged diesel engine, known for exceptional reliability and longevity in Australian touring conditions. The H260 automatic transmission provides comfortable highway cruising, and the 4,990 kg GVM means the vehicle is driveable on a standard car licence in most Australian states. The bus retains its original passenger windows for natural light and ventilation, with privacy curtains fitted throughout the living area.



The exterior shows honest age and use. The white paint is oxidised with surface rust visible on the rear door edges, lower body panels, and wheel arches requiring treatment. Aftermarket additions include a heavy-duty steel bull bar with twin LED driving lights, a full-length steel roof rack, rear ladder for roof access, UHF antenna, and tow bar. A 9kg LPG gas bottle is mounted on the rear platform. The cab interior is functional but worn, with the original Toyota dashboard and controls intact. A GME UHF CB radio and Alpine stereo with monitor are fitted. The steering column cowling has been removed, exposing the ignition barrel and wiring. The living area features retained bus seats with seatbelts, plywood wall lining with 240V power points, a white laminate kitchen galley with stainless steel sink and cabinetry, and a rear double bunk bed configuration with upper and lower platforms. A blue Victron Energy inverter/charger is mounted on the wall, providing quality off-grid 240V power from the house battery system.



This vehicle is registered in Western Australia until 06 May 2026 and is sold with vehicle transfer form. WA BUYERS ONLY per auction conditions. The DIY conversion is functional but basic in finish, suited to buyers seeking a budget touring platform or a foundation for further customisation. The Toyota Coaster's mechanical reliability and parts availability make it a practical choice for remote travel, but this example requires attention to rust treatment, steering column reassembly, and verification of all claimed systems.
