    Harry, this whole series has been a real eye opener... a simple cheap van and setup and you can do what some would then spend $100,000's on. well done sir!!

    What a Van, it's awesome to see a "REAL" budget build on youtube that is also super practical, thanks Harry

    “Van” so glad to see it back on the road… I love Delicas - i unfortunately wrote off 2 of them and my wife wouldn’t let me try a third… but I’m starting to dream again after watching you wheeling in yours!!! It’s amazing how well they actually do and it’s always funny the reactions you get when you manage to get a “van” into places they don’t belong 😂 thanks for this - love the cooking content but this little series has hit a special place in my heart!

    Thank you so much for showing us the (real) van. I love that you didn't put a pot plant in there somewhere. Most UA-cam Van tours stage the van to make it look clean and tidy love that you didn't apologize for the lived in look. I also love Seek Adventure tips.

    I have a dodge grand caravan "VAN". We all it a mini-van here where I live. I can't go off road with is so not great for getting into the bush, but it is awesome for traveling and I can sleep in it when I travel. So for just getting away for a night or for a long road trip, it works well.

    HI Harry great to see the Delica is back on the road, it looks like a very versatile vehicle and probably the last type of vehicle you would expect to see on the Cape track. Its a Van that has a big heart im sure it will last a long time now its had a new lease of life. Safe travels Cheers 🙂

    I would love to get out and about in a simple “Van” setup like that but with my wife and my disabled son it’s just nowhere near big enough. Hope to be getting out and on the road full time with a 4x4 caravan in tow in the next year or 2. Love your videos and how honest and down to earth you are. Cheers 🍻

    4wd van, still not convinced, enjoy hanging out with us down south. Good call on the gas, although wild and remote camping you will mostly be ok. A lot of the designated National park areas will want you to use their fire pits.

    Great run down of your "Van" Denis. I'm glad to see he got some TLC after what he went through on the cape 😆 I've just bought my first camp oven , a Bedourie 12" , really loving your cooking tips and thinking I'll be adding a travel Braii real soon. Thanks for showing what can be achieved on a budget , I have a 2001 Mercedes ml320 , cheapest AWD around at less than 5k ! probably less than the price of a gear box for a Landie 😆. Cheers for the awesome content , Happy travels 🍻

    "Van" great honest look around the van I think a lot of people forget about just getting out there you don't need a great deal of stuff it is nice to have but you don't need the big cruises with everything and then can't afford to get out there because you've spent everything on mods

    Great to see your Delica "Van" is back on the road. I have a 2004 L400, which also has the Ocam roof rack and the Xrox bar and a snorkel. I can recommend the Darche Eclipse 180 G2 Awning for great shade coverage, which fits nicely against the tailgate giving you almost 270deg. Just fitted a light bar and Stedi work lights, a bit of a fiddle as the Delica's have negatively switching lights. Love watching you do 4wd type episodes in the Deli, keep them coming 🙂
