I have to say that it is incomprehensible how anyone can have an issue with this guy and what he is doing. He is bright, ingenious, likeable and engaging. My only guess would be jealousy on the critic's part? Kick on Kris!!
I don't comment often, but I just wanted to say that this is one of my favorite channels. Very inventive, well-planned and well-executed projects. I never know what you'll do next. I hope you don't let the trolls bother you - they're always there trying to get you to react. I believe the best way to deal with them is to avoid reacting to them at all. Once you respond, they've gotten what they're after. Keep up the good work. I'm an old man from the U.S. who wishes he could be doing half the stuff you are. Enjoy.
Please don't stop your video's Kris just because of some idiot trolls. The best thing is to just delete the comments not worthy of your channel. Living next door to you I was constantly impressed with your knowledge of everything and am sure your an inspiration to many that watch your channel. Keep up the great work you are doing ...
Was there some idea of this? I never saw any comment from Kris on maybe stopping
Some idiots made him question carrying on.
Everyone gets trolls on youtube, their like black flies in the spring, annoying but easy to ignore.

Go to community on his channel , he has written a post there explaining why .
Yes I see. What a shame. I really hope Kris doesn't stop making these videos. It would be a real pity if a few arseholes drove him off you tube. I know how many of us love watching his progress and following these videos.
A removable camper conversion is a brilliant idea, and that’s a great design. Look forward to seeing it when completed.
just bought a delica I want to convert and this is the best idea I've found! Great work.
Hey there !
I am just messaging to let you know that I loved watching this video, super informative and innovative. My partner and I just brought a SWB delica and have modified our camper similar to this video. The idea around securing the unit with the bolts is awesome ! We too want to be able to take everything out and travel with four people. Well done and thank you for all the helpful tips!! Happy travelling from two kiwis in AUS!
Those are some cool sliding rotating seats, another great project!
Great Job, you skill level is getting better with ever job you do , from the house build to now you are definitely a expert craftsman .
Hey kris i have build your model in my delica and its working like magic! Thank you for the inspiration and ideas!
Amdro bootjump. Purpose built removable unit to turn a car into a camper. And about £300 more expensive than you’ve just built. Great work 👍🏻
'The person I am travelling with' What a give away! Brilliant. I redesigned my Bongo so it had a proper bed, kitchen with fridge and toilet. And I could still go to IKEA. Take rubbish to the dump. Roamed the continent. Carted the grandkids about in it and even took one of them home in his home made coffin. But the gear box wore out and then it blew a gasket. I miss that van.
As another commenter said, this is the best thing I've seen. I will use your design and customize it to suits my needs/ liking. Thanks for the inspiration! Love your ideas.
looked so long to find a video like this where they kept the rear seats in, thanks for showing it can be done!
Nice job, simple, effective, just great for outdoor trips.
Thank you for sharing your experience.
Well done Kris. I admire your ingenuity. Necessity truly is the mother of invention.........
Good job 👍 and useful! I have just bought a 2000 Delica for a dedicated camper and your ideas and design have given me some ideas. I especially like the fact that you utilised the 2 passenger seats. Cheers from NZ and thanks.
Fold out trestle type legs on rollers in the space above the wheel wells would enable you to pull it in and out on your own :)
Awesome idea, it will make traveling around much more comfortable. Can’t wait to see the finished project.
Good job so far well done . I'm going to see the end product in your next vid
Great video! God bless! Cheers from Canada!!
For removal, all you need is a bench at the height of the bottom of the box (camper assy). Open hatch, back near bench, slide the box out onto the bench, same for putting back in. You can even cut some large holes in the sides (maybe bottom as well, to lighten the structure.
Great project!! I'd say don't paint it. It looks great as is. The paint will chip and scratch and look crappy as time goes on.
I look forward to seeing the finished product.
Nice. If I may my two cents in ..
1. I'd use tension screws to hold whole thing in place. Seems to me more appropriate to fasten things down. Seen some using small strap ratchets as well.
2. make a latches to those folding tables so in folded position those small shelves / reinforcements can be used as shelves
You sir are very clever - very well done on a great project
Seems a reliable beast that van. See you are using it to this day
Looks like a very functional and practical setup for what you need it to do.
Nice work kris. Keep up the great energy!
Round the corners of the platform. It will save your door seal from damage.
Very creative Kris, smart use of materials / space.
I like that idea. One thing that is hardly mentioned in these van mod videos is that modding devalues resale price of the vehicle. You can catch two birds with one stone with this method.
HAH! Nice work Kris. We did a similar conversion with aluminium framing in the rear and a piano hinge attached to plywood for the fold over bed idea. Ours isn't removable though. We used timber slats over ply wood in the back to discourage mould under the bed. Some people drill holes in the ply wood to increase air flow under the bed platform.
This is what i hope to do for myself one day, but i plan to live in it a while at least a year, I'm going to have to wait until my son has got a proper home of his own first, you're definitely one of the can do, will do 👍 types Kris.
Nice conversion Kris. Easy in Easy out. Brilliant idea mate.

Really cool design, man! Wow!
That was bloody brilliant.
Nice job fella, I’m just starting on my SWB Vivaro, like your dual purpose bed, I’m planning a 3 way fold up version.
Bloody Awesome Kris, love it
A couple of suggestions:
1) buy some neodymium magnets and insert then in the tables and back with epoxy and use them to keep the tables upright.
2) build a frame of 2x4s a little higher than the back of the van to help with the lifting out of the camper portion.
Thanks for the new video. Looks like a great project. Hope things are going well.
That Van is pretty sweet, nothing like that though state side that I've seen.
nice work. very smart design and nice workmanship.
I am very keen to see Van Conversion Part 2. Part 1 very good.
Multi use great idea 👍
Hi Kris, your minds amazing...great job..🇦🇺🕊
Good idea those folding tables 👌
Hey, and always looking for ideas on how to maximise the small space i have in my Hyundia H100 van. and looking at the storage boxes you have made, makes great idea. I will look to do this, maybe just one side as i store my batteries on one side.
great Video
Love this design! Thanks for sharing!
You sooo needed the A team music when getting to work on your machine
I believe Mitsubishi start with the Japanese Zero. As long as ya change the oil, regular up-keep/maintenance, it should run 300k easily. Almost as hearty as the Volvo diesel. Great stuff Mr Kris, keep-em coming.
Briliant idea and desing!
Excellent design :)
Nice job bud 👍
Very nice design and execution, as always :)
Pimp that ride Kris! :-)
Very nice and reversible seats neat..
Very nice job smart to make it removable. How is the water turbine doing?
I love seeing how your mind works :D
Nice, simple and versatile!
OK. Всё просто и доходчиво.👌👍
Very clever to achieve all that.
good stuff Kris. looks useful
Clever design, i like it.
I been of line back on line again, I don't trust. Schemer. Going to try this on my sister inlaw van . You have a good idea. 👍. Hey I just put a little video on UA-cam about my diesel heater. I guess I try to make some small video. , so I have four videos in my channel trying to start. If have some ideas. That would be awesome. I am short video on UA-cam . Under the name bear. Take care my friend from across the pond. ❤.
Will you have a ‘ camping ‘ kitchen ?
Swing out bbq ?
I long to do this myself
Love watching the progress of your ‘ homestead’
themudhutt1 I was thinking he could notch the top of his slide out drawers to fit a piece of plywood all the way across the back for prep space/countertop. Make the veggie chopping easier and nice height for a camping kitchen like you said.
Nice. Add vertical hand pull slots on the 3 deck supports to give you some purchase when it comes time to pull it out. If youre doing it alone, slide out the drawers 1st. Make it easy by setting up saw horses to slide it out on to.
This is amazing!
great build but cut some hand holes so you can pull it out easily or attach a rope n use a winch or quad to drag it out onto work horses
Very good many thanks
Brilliant! Love that van
v simple and useful.love it
Did the vehicle have isofix car seat mounts? If so, you could have used them as a anchor point too. Next build could utilize 3d print clamps and mechanisms too.
Very cool idea !
its like your thunderbird 2, make more interchangable pods for it :D
i like this, very good. Will copy!
0:35 There's that asmr again :)
You are always amazing!
I had never seen that Mitsubishi Delica before being that I'm in north america. Now after looking them up...WHY can't we have useful, practical, economical things like this in the US in left hand drive!?? I don't want a giant pickup truck that is too long to park with a bed too high to use that gets 10 mpg, has a turning circle the size of a ball park, cost 75000, has tires that are 500 a piece, needs 3K in upfits to be sort of practical for carrying tools, and depreciates 10K a year.
Awesome video!
Brilliant video 😁
Nice work!
Well done!!!
Top Job dude.
well done. thanks for sharing : )
Nice job👍🏻
Whoo. If you have a collision all that camper stuff is going to slide forward and crush you back seat passengers. You need to a anchor that bed much better. You need something like harden chain and steel plating to make sure that bed can not move in a collision. Bolted to seatbelt mounts. Accidents do happen.
Next job? Ejector seat 👍
Brilliant! I've been wanting to do something similar on my L300 while retaining the rear captain seats.
This is probably the best design I've seen that utilises all the space and adds functionality.
Can I ask what sort of thickness ply you used?
Very nice!
Man that is one hell of a cool van! I have a larger Mitsubishi Fuso 4x4 that I adore, thing is wicked reliable. Your build came out mint, can't wait to see more. What engine is in this van, a smaller 4 cylinder ?
Good stuff.
Very clever 👍🏻
Love this thank you
Hi Kris, not sure if you're around the Delica owners club or forums much but keep an eye out for Bruce/MysteryMachine who has created some of the most noteworthy Delicas I've seen. He has a vast array of knowledge and skills that could come in handy.
Some examples of what he's made: retrorides.proboards.com/thread/90347/1993-mitsubishi-delica-500-bristol
and: retrorides.proboards.com/thread/83236
This is one of the coolest setups I have ever seen. I've recently got the camper van bug and have to look to a Delica import as the US doesn't get this vehicle. I have a few questions if you don't mind... Do the rear swivel seats come stock? The way you setup those rear seats and the bed as an optional table is so perfect and exactly the kind of thing I am looking for. I have been struggling between this and the camper van version with the pop up roof. Do you know the interior dimension? Basically interior width/height of the cargo area, and the length from the trunk/hatch to the seats while the seats are pushed back in bed mode? Grats on the build, its great.
this is awesome!
How long is the large base section? Did you say it was 6ft? Or is the bed 6ft long total? Great video man, thanks for the awesome content
Nice one
Champion!
i dont know of any van like this in America i know it would be lovly to have but i dont think a van like this is even a thing from a factory i know you can have them custom made though
Awesome. Solar and inverter next ? ;)
