I am blown away by the creative use of space in this van. I want one.

He was pulling things out left, right, and center! So awesome!
What a sweet and passionate guy. He had an amazing setup and I love that he could fit a composting toilet in the van! Absolutely incredible. Perfect use of space and fantastic add ons!
Thank you for those good words . :)
this guy probably has the highest score on Tetris;-) great setup, so cool.
Not quite, but I do work as an engineer though. Funny you mentioned Tetris as that is one of my favourite all time games.
Much thanks! Glad you like it!
Sadly, the guy who has the highest score as of last year is a teenage kid. Playing a game way older than him. Sigh. But it was a great competition!
Tetris, lol. Mate, that tickled me. Spot on too. 😊

He's put a lot of thought and effort into getting that van setup like that, the only thing I don't like is the lack of space to lounge around in, but I don't think he had the intention to just sit around relaxing in it, it's a van to have adventures in.
If you're over it you can always BnB for a little bit.
Otherwise, the world's your backyard :)
becouse it is really small van. It is tiny very light van created for off road. But solar panel? huge battery? water tanks? that a lot of weight ;(
thats a nice set up for such a small van
Bug out vehicles UK Torn Apart self sufficiency. I
Nice car! Nice video. I really like your channel and you seem to be a very kind person,no wonder the people open up their minds and after that their homes for you! Greetings from Germany!
Thank-you for your lovely comment. I'm really glad you enjoy the videos! A big hello to you over there in Germany. I actually lived in Germany for a year (in Aachen). I hope to be able to visit the country again soon.
+Living Big In A Tiny House . Ha. As I lived 1 Year in New Zealand. Blenheim, most of the time. When i finished my " little " projects i will invite you to your thing here in Germany.
Nice one! Blenheim is such a nice area. I love the South Island and would love to be able to spend more time down there. Yes please! It would be amazing to film some videos in Germany!
+Living Big In A Tiny House. You are welcome. .... 😂. But it will take Years. 😟.
Anyway. Please continue with your awesome channel and your Home !
What an impressive vehicle and designer. I love the idea of storage in the curtain. Lots of great ideas in this build. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks mate.. when you have small spaces like this you need to design the interior and think "3 dimensionally" in order to maximise every square inch of space.. Cheers!

Love the van! Really like the storage curtains. Great job designing and modifying it.
What I love about this guy is how he is such a tech geek on one hand - so into the gadgets and the cool stuff the van can do, but then there is the psychedelic hippy side with the tie-dyed ceiling and the colored lights!
You (or whoever is flying it) are getting better and better with those drones, loving the aerial footage. Also the access you give us to all these different types of tiny house living is wonderful.
his very humble "its kind of a wolf in sheep's clothing i guess" yeah lol you can say that again, watching it drive right over and thru all that terrain was awesome haha
Did John ever build his Tiny House? With that level of ingenuity, I’d love to see what he’d come up with.
That's EXACTLY how I'd do it! Everything contained and uncluttered.
I love the L300! It´s the almost perfect (could do with lesser overhang in the front) BOV. This one´s just the way I would build my one. Congrats!
Really enjoyable look at what John's accomplished. It's always interesting to see the choices people make regarding the essential things they need and where and how they place those things in a van.
I know many people living in vans and have seen many different builds. This is by far the best design.
ikr?!
+Scd Observer I'm jealous ;)
+CoolCat Carolena lol yeah!
I love these little beasts. The blokes set up was really cleverly done. Yeah, quite a bit of moving stuff around, but that's to be expected. I like how he isn't full of himself and is even a bit awkward listening to they worthy praise that the interviewer (forgot his name, lol) gave him.
He *really* thought that through and the snorkel is awesome. Bravo.
Excellent.
I love how excited he is about his van! He just wants to show you all of it and really loves it.
Wow, absolutely impressive use of space. So clever!
again, thanks for the amazing video. ur getting better by the episode!
Whoa! Pimped to its full potential! Hot!
It sure its!
heck yeah! It's sweet!
I can always see Mitsubishi Delicas like those here in our country and I've always thought about its potential as a go anywhere RV. First time in TH-cam someone like you sir have finally made a proper setup for that vehicle. Very well done it's a true sleeper and it's even more fantastic with all the little simple things with great functionality that you've done inside. Sir, I hope your van can last for more years :)
Thanks mate. It took a while to think about the design, but I think I got it right.. Cheers
Oh actually one other person did a Delica like this before me. You can see it here.. dinoevo.de
I was inspired by them as I saw this van for real in South America in the Chilean Patagonia region.
That way of living is ideal for free spirit persons. I wanted to experience the way of life in the last part of my life journey for well over 20 years but too many obstacles stopped me. I like what I have seen. I admire your freedom.
Thanks Linda!
Love it. Living life on his own terms. Cool
Thanks!
Best Delica conversion video I’ve seen to date!
Thanks! Feel free to copy it and make it better!
This is absolutely amazing!! Thank you for sharing it with us!
That man is INTELLIGENT!!!!
Neat and simple - just like design should be!
You've put much work & innovation into this van makeover! And l especially love the bright & cheery additions of pretty faerie lights, tie-dye & inspirational little flags!!
And omg!😮l bet there are Jeeps out there who can't climb a mountain like this 'mountain monster'! WOW that is impressive!!👍🏻👏🏻🤝🏻 More than just a simple little van for driving, it's a Home AND a real machine! Well 👍🏻Done!😄🐾🌈☮️🇨🇦
What a great project, doesn't look like he forgot a thing! Thanks for the share!
Now that is what I call a mobile home. You find the most amazing people and their homes. You and they are an inspiration to many people including myself. It gives me some great ideas to try and do many things around my home.
Thanks for sharing
Roy
Thanks Roy! First step is to go with 100% solar and try to use collected rainwater .. :)
*Videonun Perde Arkasi* youtubem.video/r/?CdHozbBFIV7st2TaAIyGtOFCUvgtMxp21a=Rcv0KsigCAbDnKeUgTBJPaPlNp2rG3bA5xmsFvy
I love your videos! Always so excited when one goes up! Can't wait for more. I really enjoying your presenting style. You need your own TV show 😊
You can really take it anywhere. Sleeping right on the beach is nice.
Beach van camping is my favourite.. :)
I love that in this highly functional vehicle, he found room for some flimsy things, like the lights, the rainbow fabric in the ceiling, a tiny disco ball and a bookshelf.
Fantastic L300..legendary van...
cool van , well thought out! too small for my taste but I see the value in such a compact vehicle for sure especially if shit hit the fan, the more compact and minimal you can be the better. my 8,000 pound beast couldn't go half the places this thing could squeak into and hide out. These guys seem like pretty cool dudes as well! thanks for making the video.
Yes indeed, this is my bug out, SHTF and zombie apocalypse van that's for sure.!
*Videonun Perde Arkasi* youtubem.video/r/?CdHozbBFIV7st2TaAIyGtOFCUvgtMxp21a=Rcv0KsigCAbDnKeUgTBJPaPlNp2rG3bA5xmsFvy
You are amazing dude. The way you talk, its a gift. Keep it up
Wow! This is a fantastic Van..so much storage!
An epic van ... good to taste the ride too in the water
this is insane man what a perfectly done job the sliding out boards and stuff are sick as all fits in perfectly he's done such a good job for such a small area surprised man excellent video thank you
Thank you for those nice words. Before any work was done, I thought long and hard about the design aspect and "usability" for small spaces!
My Dad had a L300 when I was a teenager. I miss it, so square which was perfect for a camper and conversions. Now he needs to convert it to an EV and be fully (well mostly) independent. Solar is freedom!
Sounds like a cool project! I totally agree, solar is freedom!
my mate bought one those ,within first hour he managed to drown it in the river , had the water up over the windscreen , meanwhile the stock air filters right behind the front wheel , it sucked water but we still managed to drive it home , great modification
Vantastic!
I see what you did there ;o)
he just needs a vanity mirror
oh that was bad man hahaha nice
He needs a pair of Vans to wear while using his vantastic vanity mirror.
and he will listen to nir van a
This is a awesome video. I love what John did with his survival van. Big ups to him. Want to see his tiny home update.
solar is a common upgrade now in rv's and survival vehicles, its nice seeing people use solar so much
Solar is the big key that makes you fully off the grid capable. I preach solar panels to everyone who has a house, RV or van. :)
Totally interesting as always. Your videos are excellent. Your show needs to be picked up as a TV show.
Fully agree.. a TV show is needed for Living Big in a Tiny House!

Thank you SO much for sharing this video with us!
Love the inspiration. Thanks
podria decir sin problemas que es la mejor van del mundo,,,, fiabilidad..durabilidad,,,compacta,,robusta,,,economica..... confortable.....
traveled newzealand, 1 month for both islands, with a rented minivan myself (not even close to this level of functionality of course, decent but still stock renting kind)
i think this 4x4 miniwonder is the best vehicle any traveller could wish for in such a country!
superb vehicle and nice guy! i also enjoyed a lot the video and subscribed for more, cheers!
Thanks for your good words! Everywhere I go with my "apocalypse van", people always come up to and chat. I'd hope it's because I seem like a nice guy.. LOL!
Awesome :) All it needs is a tent that can be attached to the back, for a bit of extra room when parked, oh and a short wave radio, and ... actually, I think he's got everything else covered. Good job. Wish I'd seen that metal plate he was talking about under the engine base.
I have a waterproof UHF short wave radio (5watts) & fully functional GPS until all in one. Its shown in the video on my dash bard. As for the tent, I thought of that, but the cost to modify this was too much for the actual return on investment. I have a 4 season Mountain Hardware tent stored inside for nice nights.
Check out my blog for more details on the design..

Wow, he actually has an amphibious exploring vehicle. A true golden god
That thing is AWESOME!! Well done Jon, top lad
Thanks mate. It was quite a project, but I have admit it turned out far better than I ever hoped it could..
420van ever thought about buying a big old Jaguar front seat for it?
Nope.. Don't seen any reason to upgrade the seats except adding nice armrests...
definitely something i would interested in, it's absolutely brilliant. thanks for sharing!
Incredible design! Love the channel!
I love it when the van can go inside terrain pond. Great campervan.
Dude has a great setup there. Impressive!
Good use of drones. loved the video as always
Another awesome video from a great guy - thanks Bryce!
Just amazing! Well thought out design - well planned. Could not believe where that van could go! Good job, mates.
Thanks! Yeah, I was super impressed with the use of space in this van.
Vamos El Calafate! Excelente vídeo. Éxitos!
Great stuff, Thanks for that.
Ooooh, somebody bought a drone! Nice footage :)
:D

Awesome Van...Love it
I've been binge watching your videos for years. I'm just hoping such things would pick up soon in my side of the world as well, here in India. We do have a caravan rental company, Trippy Wheels set up in the city of Bangalore and I can't wait to try out an adventure trip with my girls on that one. We'd hopefully camp around the Agumbe rainforest in the post pandemic world. ✨
you have cool Medium articles
Excellent choice!! Comfortable, affordable 4wd go anywhere, furnished vehicle 👌👌👍👍
What a beautiful van !
Cheers mate! Glad you like it!
Awesome setup👍spotted this in front of me at a traffic light the other day.
Nice VAN! I really love that Delica. We have plenty of converted DElicas here in the philippines from RHD to LHD. Wish I can have a van like that....
Great video! keep them coming!👌
I am looking forward to see what part two looks like; A tiny house owned by this guy would be very interesting to see! Aroha from Aotearoa
My tiny house is now having its design finalized now. Should be done by the end of this year... TBD
My tiny house is in the works and the custom design is done. The build phase is next!
What a win. Nice work!
So inspiring. Thank you!
You're welcome. :)
Love those LED lights!
Awesome use of space management. Some neat features as well.
Thanks for the share :)
Yup. I was really impressed with his use of space in this van!
Sick one!! Nice set up mate
Great design for such a small van!
Gah now I really gotta get one! What I nice story put together there. Thanks so much.
Cool guy

Loved the video work from the "asset test." Great job!
Thanks Mike! It was a lot of fun to film this one!
soooo so so great! i love it!
Thanks I am glad you like my design.. Cheers
Not bad. Wind the front torsion suspension up, fit a set of 31x10.5s (they do fit) then chase few landcruiser out the way :)
this channel is amazing great work thank you
awesome work. nice bugout. crossbow and all set for the zombie apocalypse
Zombie apocalypse is coming you say? Bring it on!
Love this show so much
amazing video, great work!
We had a van like this before. You can buy one for 4000-6000 dollars. Right hand drive of course but we convert it to left hand. Problem is you cant convert the rear sliding door to the right so you might as well live with it. Opening directly into traffic lol
I ain't gonna lie...that was cool!
Woo haha looks great, please do more van videos :) keep up the great videos guys
Amazing!! So jealous!
Love this thing,the inside was well planned!
Cheers
Wonderful editing in this episode 👊
Wowww..... He's so innovative
This was awesome.🙌
dope. I like that white and black eighties look.
great van & video
great drone shots
