Another sub-$100K campervan arrives

Looking for a new campervan but on a tight budget?

Queensland's Dream Drive Australia has released details of its latest Mana Pop-Top compact campervan, priced from $99,000 drive-away.

The new Mana camper is based on a 4.7m long, Japanese-spec 2025 Toyota HiAce H200 panel van with either the 2.8-litre turbo-diesel or 2.0-litre petrol engine.

Designed for easy driving, parking and storage, it has a travel height of 2.1m with a pop-top roof that provides 1.9m interior height.

Both driver and passenger can walk-through from the front seats to a fit-out that includes a kitchenette, and a swivel table with seating for two that converts to a (138cm x 188cm) double bed at the rear.

Storage includes two large underbed drawers and kitchen cupboards, while an outdoor shower is possible by opening the sliding door and using the retractable faucet from the kitchen sink. There's also a compartment inside for the Joolca Gotta Go portable toilet that's included as standard.

Other features include a third seatbelt in the rear, a 75L fridge, a 200Ah lithium battery system with 2000W inverter, solid wood countertops, a 55L water tank with pump, and LED lighting.

Options include a roll-out awning, shower tent, electric hot water and a curtain/fan/window net kit.

Pricing starts at $99,000 driveaway for the 2WD unleaded petrol version, with an AWD diesel version also available from $109,000 driveaway.

Arriving in Australia a couple of years ago, the Dream Drive campervans are imported from Japan, where the camper conversions also take place at a production facility in Tokyo. The Australian operation is based in Capalaba, Queensland.

The Dream Drive Mana is the latest cut-price motorised RV to go on sale down under, following the $89,990 (drive-away) LDV Deliver 9 Campervan and $129,990 Smidge Long Weekend.
