Delica Canada | Mitsubishi Van Club

My partner and I are looking to buy a 4x4 Delica and to have it camperized. We are both long-time off-roaders familiar with 4x4's and so is there a Delica model which is best suited for camperizing, has the best drive train and suspension or other mechanical features (wheel base etc) which are better than other models?

Also, are there any shops in the lower mainland which do these Delica camper conversions?

Thanks for any suggestions you can provide

Some local shop may make it for you ? Are you aware of Stock Delica camper version ? Some maybe available readily at Silk or elsewhare ? Go and check

I've done several camper conversions but mostly VW Vanagons to Westfalias. It can be an enormous amount of work depending on what you want. You can custom make a poptop for it or a raised roof, but those are big ticket items when done properly. Internally you can come up with pretty much anything you want, although I've personally opted for a VW westfalia fridge stove and sink inside, and a rooftop tent for sleeping in That keeps it pretty simple and I've camped my way into Mexico like that. Anything can be custom made for the interior, but again it's a lot of labour and materials and isn't cheap.

I like the swb (Short wheel base) l400 diesel.

I don't know if anyone "camperizes" them but it is not hard to remove the rear seats and do it yourself.
We just spent 10 days in ours in Jasper.

The long wheel base gives you more room if you don't mind the extra length when you are 4x4ing.
