Introducing our new van - a 1995 Mitsubishi Delica L300 Starwagon!

The story of our beloved Misubishi Delica, which sadly ended up in a scrap yard after an accident in late April.

Eleven months since we embarked on our turbulent adventure into van ownership, we are finally nearly finished with all our mechanical repairs and the camper conversion is pretty much completed and we’re excited to share the outcome - so here goes with Part Four!

Following on from our previous post, here's part three in our series of blog posts about the creation and development of our Mitsubishi Delica Camper. In this post we share how we quickly discovered that #vanlife is not all sunshine, golden light and good vibes and planning and preparation are everything, especially when you add a toddler into the mix...

In part two, we want share the story of how we built a removable camping unit for our van. Not because we think it’s a work of genius, or a thing of beauty, but because we think something like this is (relatively) easily achievable for those of us who don’t have the ability, tools, time or funds to fully convert a van into a camper.

Last summer, after years of yearning, we finally bought a van and have been slowly fixing it up, making it adventure ready. We’ve received a fair few e-mails and comments about the vehicle and our progress so we thought we’d share as much as we can here on our logbook for anyone interested.
