Great little camper. Just one tip : drill some holes into the bed base board to alow your mattress to breathe. Otherwise the condensation from you breathing and moisture from you sweating will collect in your mattress and it will get damp and mouldy!
Too bad there are so many critics posting here. Keep up the great work Kris. Looks like a very practical and functional setup in a very capable van for the usage you have. Keep up the great work Kris.
part 1 is exactly what i want to do with my delica. I was thinking of cutting half circles over the wheel wells to extend the platform but the spring idea is great and i bed spilling off the sides isnt too much of an issue. pretty ingenious water setup, definitely taking inspiration there.
Its an old video but you've just saved me hours of planning and designing i'm not sure if this account is still active but if you see this message i want to say thank you i just recently bought a 2002 space gear Delica and have been thinking of ways to do exactly what you've done so once again thank you so much.
Thanks Kris, this really interesting, helpful and inspiring. About to buy a Delica myself and this what brought me to your channel. In turn I have now found your website through your link here and read your story. I also did not slot in to the school system so bunked pretty much all of it but somehow managed to scrape some academic results as a competent musician. I now teach Primary School children the wonder of music as a teacher. Best wishes for all your working on and I'll keep an eye on any future Delica vids you might post (interested in the bio-fuel aspect_). Also like the look of your courses.
Greetings from America. Lovely job. Really nice woodworking. Many times I see the back of the minivan being used as an open air kitchen. That is tough if you are trying to stealth camp but otherwise a purpose made tent that the van backs into solves the problem of rain. Good for a camp site but for the States I don't know. Lots of nice ideas there thank you.
Love the concept of this build. Especially having the chairs + table section. I think I'd make the tables slightly larger if possible. Could be great desks for remote working while travelling.
Some really neat ideas and tips there, mate. I'm just about to start working on my new van and will pretty likely steal some of your design ideas. Deadly stuff, enjoy it man 🌈👌
That is an awesome design, love it. Just got a 94 Delica a week ago and am looking into a way of converting into a weekend camper but still allows for daily use. May end up copying your design. Nice work.
Thats almost how my design is But instead of 2 drawers I have 1 large drawer at back Front left is stove and front right is just table to prepare food and behind that is a storage just like yours and behind this whole drawer I have 2 giant storage under the bed and at the back where you have seats I have cabinet to store fridge and power station Also my bed is fixed
Oh hey Kris, I mentioned your to a guy I follow here in the states. His site is mixflip, does post(s) on overland and campers, G & A etc. He just posted a short 7min story on WARN winches, featuring a Mitsubishi Delica like yours. Thought ya might be interested, and hope it gets ya some more subs:)
How can I watch the 3rd video on the camper?. I bought myself the same model and about to start building this setup, although I will be installing a small fridge begging the drivers seat and maybe a cubord onto of that. Would love to see the next video for more ideas but it's set as private
Hey Kris loving your videos and especially that beautiful house of yours, you’re super inspiring! I just wanted to ask; you mentioned using 80% biofuel in your delica (the greatest van on earth!) I want to get myself one and would be interested in biofuel, just wanted to clarify - Does that mean you use bio 80% of the time and diesel the rest? Or like an 80/20 mix? And for what reason? Cheers!
Hi Kris, loving your videos. I have been watching for a couple of years now. I would love to pick your brain on how you have managed to live off grid with such scrutiny on homestead living / off-grid. I have been searching for my own piece of woodland to begin my dream however, I am constantly coming up against problems with residential planning permissions. How did you get round this? Thanks, Thomas.
Hi kris, I’ve been trying to find this rule about not needing planning permission in Wales for the sort of thing that your doing online, but I’m having difficulty finding anything. Any chance you could post a link with the info I’m looking for please? (Rule 52?) Cheers buddy👍
Kris you are so smart! This looks amazing! You’ve done an outstanding job! What do you have in it $ ?if you don’t mind sharing. Your girl did a great job too. So the question is...when do we get to meet her? Blessings...
i spent £70 on plywood £15 on paint £50 on the water system. the draw runners were £90 because they are really strong ones the gas hob was £20 and the rest of the stuff i just had laying around. not sure when you will meet her yet...... but she does exist. i promise :D
Even more impressive(total cost)! I never doubted your girlfriends existence. Any girl would be fortunate to have such a smart & hardworking man as yourself. Thanks for the reply Kris.
This is another great video. The ideas for the van are great and perfctly suited for your puropses. For a different perspective, have a look at this conversion of the same van: ua-cam.com/video/TMBiJfn0XgM/v-deo.html&ab_channel=ThomasHeaton
BLITZBURGH BILLY Don’t you feel like a goof ball now? Kris mentioned her but she hasn’t appeared in a video yet. Many people are ASSuming they know who she is.

Your my friend are a talented and smart guy! Keep up the great videos!
Bravo! Damn, Brillant! What a well-thought-out design, very cool. I suggest adding more waterline and a gadget to elevate the faucet for a shower.
Happy Camping, neat and tidy and workable..Nice..

Brilliant job on your van conversion. All you video are informative and entertaining, can’t wait for your next one.
Brilliant Design! And I like the finishes and curtains, well thought out and nicely put together.
That's great work man. Lovely job
Good design Kris, looks like a practical and enjoyable vehicle. Well done.
Pretty sweet camper van you've got their Kris!
That's brilliant, Kris!
You're a very talented individual!!! Super cool ideas!
Great setup, man! That tap idea is rather clever.
You might want to add something to the edge of the seat to keep it from wearing down
Brilliantly thought out and executed.
Lovely job man. I really think I'm going to make a complete copy of you creation. Thanks.
Kind of thing Jeremy Clarkson would build on one of his TG adventure, great job
You never cease to amaze me! Everything a man could want LOL and maybe his girlfriend.

Bro, this is nicer than my first gaff.
Cool. I can't wait to do my own camper
Some really neat ideas and tips there, mate. I'm just about to start working on my new van and will pretty likely steal some of your design ideas. Deadly stuff, enjoy it man 🌈👌
Wonderful! That was well thought OUT.
Great use of space and the tap pressure switch is greater. Cheers
That looks very cosy, Kris :)
That is an awesome design, love it.
Just got a 94 Delica a week ago and am looking into a way of converting into a weekend camper but still allows for daily use.
May end up copying your design.
Nice work.
fell free to copy it buddy, thats what i put it out there for. it is honestly perfect for a weekend van.
Awesome for your needs. Didn't realize it is biofuel! TFS.
Good job! Have a look at mine. It is a similiar setup also in a delica
Ingenious ideas and methods as always. Great video.
Excellent job. Simple and very useful
I can imagine how it all rattles in the cabin when you drive on an uneven road🤣 But it's worth it👍
Great job! I think I will be using some of your ideas on my van! Thank you!
Thats almost how my design is
But instead of 2 drawers I have 1 large drawer at back
Front left is stove and front right is just table to prepare food and behind that is a storage just like yours and behind this whole drawer I have 2 giant storage under the bed and at the back where you have seats I have cabinet to store fridge and power station
Also my bed is fixed
I love that, all you need :)
Way to go Kris... I call that camp-o-madic!
Nice rig, great post. Looking forward to some forage posts with this guy.

Nice work dude, I have a full blow VW T25 camper but I'm really digging the 4X$ Delica as a fun trails vehicle.
This guy …best thing on UA-cam 🤗
very nice functional vehicle, good job done!
SOME VERY SLICK IDEAZ THERE KRIS.
LOOKS LIKE THE VAN & YOUR NEW
INPUTS WILL SERVE THE BOTH OF
YINZ VERY WELL . 👍🏽 .......
Nice, a well set up van can make a awesome camper..
As we say here in the US.. your handy er than a shirt pocket...lol... great job on the camper Cris...
Steve Sherman wow... sorry you don't get out much...
Steve Sherman libtard you are... sorry for your luck...why chime in when you didn't even comment on Cris van...
Steve Sherman nor i
Man builds camper to suit himself.
Dickhead yanks turn it into stupid political slagging.
A nice setup. I just have a single bed in mine as I only camp with the dog.
Nice job- wish they made LWD delicas for down here in Trumpistan.
Clever design, i like.
Hey sir ! Nice video, nice van ! But im wondering if you could tell me the name or part # for the water pump and storage box tracks ?
Thanks !
I bet you could DIY a 270 degree awning for the van!
Nice job!
good job Kris
Good work fella
Looks great any plans to do a tour around the country visiting like minded people? Perhaps go forage in Scotland.
that is one of the reasons for the camper yes. so i can visit other projects and be comfortable
Awesome!!
Great idea, never seen swivel seats in center?
thanks for sharing Kris; great idea! are you able to flip the middle row seats over and use them ?
Good Job young man
amazing whip
Quality vehicle you've made there! Any suggestions of a more modern vehicle that ticks all the same (or more) boxes of this Delica?
How can I watch the 3rd video on the camper?. I bought myself the same model and about to start building this setup, although I will be installing a small fridge begging the drivers seat and maybe a cubord onto of that.
Would love to see the next video for more ideas but it's set as private
love the build. I am wondering if you have a link to that tank! thanks.
thank you for this video,sorry about the ignorance ,whats that noise when you turn out the water?
Great how Well done

Hi kris, I’ve been trying to find this rule about not needing planning permission in Wales for the sort of thing that your doing online, but I’m having difficulty finding anything. Any chance you could post a link with the info I’m looking for please? (Rule 52?)
Cheers buddy👍
My girlfriend made some curtains God when's she coming back oooohhhh nice setup though
Assume maybe you can make a video when you use it the next time
Nice!

Impressive 😲😲😲😲😲😲
I'm going to copy you but I'm going to use a Citroen dispatch thanks
Nice Delica fella, what is the mpg like? I’m guessing it’s pretty thirsty being a 2.8?
Average according to the Delica owners forums is about 14-21mpg
it runs on 80% what ?
Very cool stealing the idea 😁
What did you do for electrical to power the water pump?
just runs off the starter battery for now, i leasure battery will be an upgrade soon.
👏☺
it' just for 2 persons ?
Gucci. Not as good as my Bongo, but nice.

What's the point having a you tube channel if you don't film your projects
oh have you got a girlfriend you never mention her ?
winston churchill
WHAT ROCK 👈🏽
DO YOU LIVE UNDER GOOFBALL ???
SHE'Z ONLY BEEN IN (COUNTLESS)
OF THEIR VIDEOZ .....
BLITZBURGH BILLY she hasn’t been in any...... goofball :-D
Winston.
You might want to catch up on some videos then because she is the primary reason why Kris did such a nice upgrade to his outhouse.
BLITZBURGH BILLY
Don’t you feel like a goof ball now? Kris mentioned her but she hasn’t appeared in a video yet. Many people are ASSuming they know who she is.
Wayne Crews maybe we will see a video featuring he’s girlfriend, would be nice to see them on a video together.
These curtains are pretty shabbily attached, you might need a new girlfriend.... lol
Pascal Briand and you are an a****** maybe that's why you're not married
Lol, i was making a joke.... being facetious not fascist... how could you mistake what I wrote for anything else but what it was.
Nice job!
