Delica Camper Conversion - Part 1: Upgrades

[@LiamMarcon]

Great vid mate! Im gonna watch the others too. I recently got a Delica L400 as well and will be doing it up as a long distance camper. So your struggles are not in vain, as hopefully it'll help me as well. Idea #1, bring a little step ladder, I'm also not a tall bloke. :D

[@ChrisIsOutside]

haha awesome! I hope the vids help. I have a little step ladder that I bring now and it sits perfectly in the side door step area

Glad to see this project documented sir!

[@ChrisIsOutside]

i thought the narration might be a good change of style too

[@chunhimyeung1781]

Really like your video! Keep posting more!

[@ChrisIsOutside]

thank you! working on one soon, been doing rust repairs and recarpeting

@@ChrisIsOutsideI am also getting my second Delica soon and will be doing a camper conversion as well! Done once before, I will be doing a rock n roll bed setup!

[@ChrisIsOutside]

@@chunhimyeung1781 nice! I'm going to just do a single bed down the side

[@chunhimyeung1781]

@@ChrisIsOutside Single bed down the driver side was my version 1 setup which is extremely easy to do basically a piece of ply wood and 15 legs, you’re done! then my version 2 was a rock n roll bed on the passenger side which is 1000 times better! Its like the VW Westfalia setup. I think we are both building the van in a close time frame. (Still waiting for the Delica to be complied)

[@ChrisIsOutside]

@@chunhimyeung1781 I want the single bed so that I can use it as a bench and sit a slide out or drop down desk across from it for work. Then behind the rear seats will be a thin box bench for battery and stuff, so it will be sort of L shaped

Nice job mate ...👌👌

[@jonathantasker]

Cool vid... looks real hard

[@ChrisIsOutside]

I tried to make it look easy! hahahaha

[@jonathantasker]

@@ChrisIsOutside lol, I'm making more videos and very soon I will start adventures videos!😁

[@ChrisIsOutside]

@@jonathantasker just finished the first part of the van and slept in it last night out in the bush with Lilly - not long before I have time to make some update videos

[@reddyman6915]

What year is your van and model ? Do you have problems in getting spare parts and can you get the van serviced any where ? I am thinking of buying one …. Thank you 👍

[@SandyCrack69]

Great video I’m current converting my L400 into a camper and I’m having problems getting roof racks to clip around the plastic gutter. What model of the rhino racks did you use and do you have any other tips on roof racks …

[@ChrisIsOutside]

My racks came with the van, but I can tell you they are Vortex Bar (Silver 1375mm) + RL Leg (x2) RL210S2

[@ChrisIsOutside]

The gutters have big plastic covers. they are damaged and squished on mine. you could cut the plastic to expose the metal gutters in the areas you want to mount the legs

[@SandyCrack69]

@@ChrisIsOutside - Thanks

[@DustyRobertson]

Ah man, you should've asked if you wanted to film us ripping the seats out

[@ChrisIsOutside]

I literally didn't even think about it at the time. I had my camera with me but then only remembered after you left hahaha

[@DustyRobertson]

@@ChrisIsOutside ah well, there's always next time

[@ChrisIsOutside]

@@DustyRobertson yeah man, we will def make a vid when we take go bush :D
