hello from mexico (via vancouver, bc)

Post by jschillcomps »

i guess it's been awhile that we've been on the forum but have never really done an introduction. as we still see delicas here and there on our travels, thought we'd say hello online and put a face with a name.

we're candice and jordan and nugget (the furriest of the 3) -- currently driving the pan-american highway in our 1997 L400 chamonix (named bagheera). we started in vancovuer, b.c. in june after showing the van at the overland expo west 2018 in may. we headed up to the yukon and NWT, did a lap around alaska, down through the states, and we're currently in mexico, pointed to ushuaia, argentina...

most of our conversion stuff is up on our website and lots of van photos on instagram -- trying to spread the delica love as much as possible!

this forum has been such a help and valuable resource in getting us camperized and dealing with all kinds of repairs, much thanks to you all.

Lovely pictures - and a fantastic Slogan - from a grandpa of three who's last trips on the Dempster in 2016 & 2017 were by motorcycle. I 2 will be old later.

But a rig like that has me wanting to go Vanping again!!!

Cheers

WOW, such inspiring pics you guys!

I'm about to leave Nelson, BC for roadtrip down and through Mexico. What do you wish you had brought in your Delica (re. parts/emergency readiness) with you?

I have the same Delica and need to be super prepared for the journey!

all the best
