Sup guys ;) new subsriber here!!! I really love your videos you guys are awesome!!! I also Love your delica ;) am from Canada and have some of those here too ( in the west at least ) but i was wondering, how do you guys find parts for it if something breaks? Its pretty rare in the americas thats the only reason i dont buy one cuz am scared of not being able to find a mechanic to work on those awesome vans while travelling... Thanks and keep the great work !!! 😎✌
Hi Dimitri, thanks for your support! We had the chance to meet many Delica owners while driving through BC a year ago. We were invited to a BC RHD Group meeting and it was awesome. Heaps of great people there. The Delica is based on the Mitsubishi Montero or L200, which are very common cars anywhere in the world apart from the USA and Canada. Finding parts throughout the Americas is, in most parts, super easy. Only a few parts are actually Delica specific, like the steering rack, interior finishings and a few other things. And for those we import directly from www.partsouq.com and have it delivered anywhere in the world via Fedex. In the Canada there are a handful of Delica mechanics I got to know, most on the West Coast. All of which are very familiar with the car and have easy access to the parts. In the USA it's a bit trickier, especially if you have a diesel. Anyway... we never had any problem finding parts so far. So I wouldn't worry too much. Cheers!
I've watched hundreds of van tours and I must say I keep coming back to your layout. It's just perfect! I have a 1996 Delica L400 that I'm hoping to camperize. I plan on stealing your design pretty much exactly for the builder to copy 😊. Thank you so much for sharing!! ❤️🥰🇨🇦
Great job of building and explaining. We’ve travelled lots of the back roads of Mexico in a Eurovan . You get used to it, people are courteous and speeds slow. We once had a donkey pass us 3 times on the same day!
I have just completed my delica conversion...? Well conversion never really ends as new ideas always crop up but I'll say finished for now. You have done A fantastic job as I know the hard fitting pionts are few and far between in the del and most of the work goes into the figuring it all out to encompas ALL THE SPACE AND ALL THE SCENARIOS of your use. You guys have "THINKED" it well. Enjoy you labour and have fun.
Thanks, Kaylem! You are totally right! There is no end to the van conversion thing! This is our V3.0, and there is always something that could be better. But as long as you have fun while thinking it through and putting it together it's all worth it! Have a great day!
Very cool! Just shopping around for a Delica now and can't decide if I want to get something ready to go already converted or start from scratch... hmm - you've shared so many great ideas!
I have to say that this the best design Ihave seen which is close to my vision. Can you explain how you would use. the rear outward facing seat at. the rear? Do you think that. you could fit a sink and. a. cooker on. the right hand side inside the van - where you have a. nice. wooden top and storage? I have just bought. a 2000 Delica 2.8 TD but won't. take delivery until November so. am now doing my conversion planning. What. software app. did u use?? Many thanks Kiwi Chris
Great set up, im interested in what the heater is please, i dont fancy drilling holes in my floor for a diesel heater and i dont have the space, best regards a fellow Delica owner
Thanks, mate... we are in Brazil actually... had a crazy idea to drive straight here to have a break and made it in 10 days lol... some videos coming up soon
It’s a beautiful build, however, why show potential thieves where you keep your valuables? You may want to change that! Thanks for sharing your wonderful build.
hey I really love your delica campervan conversion! I have a LWB with crystal lite moonroof and I was always thinking how do I install a ventilator with that limited space. Not sure if it can be done but I saw your mini fan ventilator here which is cool! that certainly can help:) How does it look like at the top of the van from the outside? thanks for the video! cheers
Hey guys with the seat up facing the rear I'm trying with measurements myself and mine is a low roof but my beds lower however I can't seem to be able to sit in it without my head having to bend because of the roof...do u guys actually fit in it? It only seems to work for me if my head's out the back of the car which seems like the back rest would be of no use. Sorry to be a pain I have so many questions lol I really love it design
The new inside of the Vanda looks really cool. It'll surely also be more practical than before. I just wonder if you can legally drive with passengers in the back when the seat is not from a factory. Especially when you plan to drive through Europe. Hodně štěstí! :-)
Hey mate, thank you very much! No... we can't legally drive with passengers in the back anymore... we've made that seat mainly for us to be able to seat down and use our computers inside the car. We could take people around if we had too, but that's not the idea. Cheers!
It would surely be nice to meet you after you arrive to Czechia. I think we still got enough time though. I'm currently studying in the first grade of high school (I'm 16 btw), so I'm pretty sure I won't join you, but you can surely stop by. When do you plan to arrive to Europe? 2019/2020? You can than tell me as you get closer, I'll surely continue to comment on your videos. But as I said, we still got enough time. Love you guys! Hodně štěstí! 🌎🚐😀
Great looking rig and adventure that you're on. Haven't had the chance to see all your other videos...what are your plans to travel to and for how long? Year, two years and beyond? Thanx!
Hi guys, thanks for watching our videos! We have at least another 2 years in Latin America, then probably off to Europe and Africa. So not sure at this stage... it's all down to how long will money last... if we wanna keep going or have a break... so on so forth heheh. Cheers!
You forgot to mention how cool your bed/sofa set up is. When it's in sofa mode, you have the nice weather option of sitting and looking out the back. and then the shitty weather option of sitting inside. For anyone who wants to know more about this bed setup, it's called a "rock and roll bed".
Hi Mitchell! We use one of these guys: alexnld.com/product/space-saving-collapsible-sink-grey-silicone-for-home-caravan-boat-rv-camping/ It's a collapsible sink we can move around. We are not big fans of cleaning stuff close to the van... Cheers!
Oh really that's weird...my feet go all the way from almost the back of the seats to the rear door :/ same as my partner, I see your bed stops at the start of the fridge...how tall are you and guys? I'm 178cm I love ur idea if I can fit on it lots of space it's beautiful
I wouldn't know from the top of my head, but if you want exact figures here is the 3D model of the Delica. You can measure pretty much anything with it. There are different formats for different software. Otherwise I think there are schematics for the Delica on Google! I hope it's helpful: www.overlandway.com/delica-3D/
Don't quote me but I assume they got the foam from somewhere like clarke rubber then cut it to suit and made the cover to match also...I'm.guessing as the bed design is quite unique and custom...but love to know the answer also
Delica is such a great van, however it’s just too small for me to overland. Love your videos guys, stay safe and keep adventuring Just noticed you haven’t posted a video for 2 years, hope all is well
Response to question: You lifted the front little storage area and said you kept your handbag there. If I seem paranoid, I have been robbed twice and I don’t want to see that happen to anyone else. Take care & safe travels.
Wait... so your fridge is on a slide??? Holy crap! Why didn’t anyone think of this before?!?!?!?!?!?!? This will revolutionise the industry - you guys need to patent this shit before it gets out! You guys will be rich!!! 😑😑😑😑
How does a girl survive with a handbag so small? Where do you carry all the stuff you don’t need but still have in the bag? 😃. Nice use of limited space. I have a Toyota commuter but have gone for a permanent double. I will be living in it fulltime shortly, to avoid the rent trap. Safe travels
It's a bottomless handbag! It can hold up to 90 pounds of magically hidden items! lol! That's awesome you are going for a van life! It's challenging at times, but rather enjoyable!
Sup guys ;) new subsriber here!!! I really love your videos you guys are awesome!!!

I have followed this couple way back when I was in Perth, Western Australia. So nice to see them still travelling. Be safe always
I'm in a delica spacegear with my boyfriend and two dogs in Australia haha I love this video so much!!
You guys have done an amazing job making use of the space in the van! Great job!
Thanks mate! We are very happy with the end result! And so is Taco! lol! Have a great day!
By far the best conversion I have seen.
I am very grateful to you for the ideas; greetings from Colombia
I love this build! So creative - the double couch/bed is a brilliant idea.
Great job of building and explaining. We’ve travelled lots of the back roads of Mexico in a Eurovan . You get used to it, people are courteous and speeds slow. We once had a donkey pass us 3 times on the same day!
I can't believe I'm considering a Delica 😂 my gf is laughing at me about but all I see is ADVENTURE POSSIBILITY!

Thanks for the love! Keep Delica-ing!
we just bought white 97 super exceed! We're super exceeded!
Enjoy it!
solid build mam! keep safe!
Very nice conversion my friend 👍
Hi. I noticed a map of the world just outside the driver side door. Are those red markings the places you've been to in that van?
I have to say that this the best design Ihave seen which is close to my vision. Can you explain how you would use. the rear outward facing seat at. the rear? Do you think that. you could fit a sink and. a. cooker on. the right hand side inside the van - where you have a. nice. wooden top and storage?

Top videos guy's.
I am an Australian also, just subscribed and can't wait for your new stuff.
Thanks Mate's.
Молодчага!! Красотка!!
Great set up, im interested in what the heater is please, i dont fancy drilling holes in my floor for a diesel heater and i dont have the space, best regards a fellow Delica owner

Absolutely love this
Hey guys! Wondering where you got your ladder attachment from?!
Wow. Nice ride. ✌🏾✌🏾👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Like 31: Your car is really nice and we enjoyed it a lot... Congrats.... *Tadeu and Marilene - Itu SP Brasil*
Thanks guys! Much appreciated! Have a great day!
4:16 You sure its not a carbon monoxide detector?
Yayy u guys are so awesome. Where are you now?
Thanks, mate... we are in Brazil actually... had a crazy idea to drive straight here to have a break and made it in 10 days lol... some videos coming up soon
Ficou excelente mesmo !!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
It’s a beautiful build, however, why show potential thieves where you keep your valuables? You may want to change that! Thanks for sharing your wonderful build.
Not quite sure what you mean, Patricia. We are confused as to where we show potential thieves our valuables. All the best!
Overland Way My thoughts exactly! You just showed the world in this video. Your rig is very distinctive.
hey I really love your delica campervan conversion! I have a LWB with crystal lite moonroof and I was always thinking how do I install a ventilator with that limited space.

How did you find driving in the USA in a right hand drive vehicle. Am looking to set out from UK but so much of the world is left hand drive
It takes a little getting used to. But after a while its not too difficult. You will need a passenger to help you overtake though!
The new inside of the Vanda looks really cool. It'll surely also be more practical than before. I just wonder if you can legally drive with passengers in the back when the seat is not from a factory. Especially when you plan to drive through Europe. Hodně štěstí! :-)

Sure, that's exactly what I thought. Thanks for the response/Díky za odpověď. :-)
You are welcome, bro! Ah... and don't be discouraged by that... we can fit a seat belt whenever you are ready to come join us for some days ;)
It would surely be nice to meet you after you arrive to Czechia. I think we still got enough time though. I'm currently studying in the first grade of high school (I'm 16 btw), so I'm pretty sure I won't join you, but you can surely stop by. When do you plan to arrive to Europe? 2019/2020?

@@OverlandWay if you fit a seatbelt is that all that would be legally required to use that bedseat? That would be awesome!
To block the back windows, are they vinyl wrapped externally and ply lined internally?
Thanks
Rob
They are vinyl wrapped only. Cheers
Great looking rig and adventure that you're on. Haven't had the chance to see all your other videos...what are your plans to travel to and for how long? Year, two years and beyond? Thanx!
Hi guys, thanks for watching our videos! We have at least another 2 years in Latin America, then probably off to Europe and Africa. So not sure at this stage... it's all down to how long will money last... if we wanna keep going or have a break... so on so forth heheh. Cheers!

From what i could see you don't have a sink? Am i wrong or how have you managed?
Hi Mitchell! We use one of these guys: alexnld.com/product/space-saving-collapsible-sink-grey-silicone-for-home-caravan-boat-rv-camping/
It's a collapsible sink we can move around. We are not big fans of cleaning stuff close to the van...
Cheers!
nice built! I am amazed at how it can be legal to have propane +gas strapped to the rear of the car
Is this a long or swb? And high roof or standard? Thank you in advance. Love the setup
Is it short base Delica, isn't it? Four-wheel drive?
Hi there, yes, it's a SWB Delica. Cheers
Oh really that's weird...my feet go all the way from almost the back of the seats to the rear door :/ same as my partner, I see your bed stops at the start of the fridge...how tall are you and guys? I'm 178cm I love ur idea if I can fit on it lots of space it's beautiful
Great!
Thanks, Tyler
Since I've only seen a couple of Delicas in the States. I was wondering about its actual dimensions
I wouldn't know from the top of my head, but if you want exact figures here is the 3D model of the Delica. You can measure pretty much anything with it. There are different formats for different software. Otherwise I think there are schematics for the Delica on Google! I hope it's helpful: www.overlandway.com/delica-3D/
Overland Way Thanks
where can you get those folding mattress from? thanks in advance :)
Don't quote me but I assume they got the foam from somewhere like clarke rubber then cut it to suit and made the cover to match also...I'm.guessing as the bed design is quite unique and custom...but love to know the answer also

Great to see you traded the cactus in for a dog.
Lol!
Toilet, where do you shit and piss. That's always the big mystery with these things!
How does a girl survive with a handbag so small? Where do you carry all the stuff you don’t need but still have in the bag? 😃. Nice use of limited space. I have a Toyota commuter but have gone for a permanent double. I will be living in it fulltime shortly, to avoid the rent trap. Safe travels
It's a bottomless handbag! It can hold up to 90 pounds of magically hidden items! lol! That's awesome you are going for a van life! It's challenging at times, but rather enjoyable!
