While having a very slow day fishing this past week I had an idea that I think may have some merit. Most Delica owners expound on all the camping and back road driving they intend to do once they have it 'set up' for camping. If this is the case we should have a vast knowledge of many of the...

I finally get to report on a new to me Rec Site. This last week I spent 3 days @ Gwen lake. Gwen is located east of the Coquihalla using the Comstock exit south of Merritt. The lake is about 6.5 km from the highway with less than a km. to challenge your van. The road has a few water holes but the...

I totally different take nothing about repairs, just trip reports, how you use your delica, etc

Example today I loaded the chain saw and lined the back of the delica with a tarp. Grabbed my best bud (wheeler my dog) and went out and got a load of maple and cedar. Filled the delica up to the...

This is kind of in between TO and WITH, but I bought one of those Electric Lunch Boxes, that will run off a cigarette lighter, and tested it out today. I had a hot meal sitting in the jump seat, with the sliding door open, next to a park, in the rain. I think I drove maybe 45 minutes with it...

I'm not sure if it's just me and a few Delica drivers that I've talked to but it's almost like Husky is still serving Winter diesel. Why they have started selling Winter diesel in the Lower Mainland is beyond me as it never gets to -15°. In around November of...

I am writing this because it seems as though some people believe there is some almighty force that decides when and where meets are happening and that they are just simple delica owners who would love to attend if one were scheduled on a convenient date in their area. This is not the case as many...

We should have more of these more often.

Agreed, in that case, it's up to you to make sure attendance is good! The problem is that even when we hold them every 6 months we still don't always have a great turn-out.

End of June we will be picking up our 1994 Mitsubishi Delica JB500 camper, Turbo diesel, 5 speed manual, 4x4. We don't know much about it but we like it's small footprint. We of course have many questions I,e. is this a L200, L300, or L400. I read from a post in this forum that 1994 is the 4th...

Last post

Welcome! The JB500 is a lovely little camper van, you're going to have lots of adventures!

That's an L300 beneath the camper body. Mitsubishi didn't stop making L300s when they introduced the L400 in 1994. 4WD L300s were made until 2000. 2WD L300s were made until 2016!

Hello all!

I picked up my 2002 3.0L V6 SWB Delica in Calgary back in August but I'm just getting around to the forum community now.

It was a swift decision-making process from the time we spotted her on Kijiji to viewing her, then thinking about it for a couple nights, then driving back to...

Last post

Looks awesome! I have a 2002 gasser on the way to Calgary from Japan as we speak. I'm looking to do a similar roof platform setup, and some of the other mods sound like great ideas. Where did you get the roof box, and how big is it?

1995 Delica nearing EOL

So I have a 1995 Delica Space Gear that has served me very well. However, I think it is reaching the end of its useful life.

The problems are mounting and becoming hard to ignore. The main issue is that it doesn't start well once the temperature approaches freezing. Anything below -5C is pretty...

Hello Everyone,

HI, I'm having a hard time finding reasonable insurance for an L300/L400 in Ontario. I've been turned down outright or I did manage to find a broker who quoted me approx $4000/year.

For comparison, the quote was based on:
Approximately 10-15K Km/year of driving
Location in Toronto
$1million...

Well, now I've moved back to ON and looking for insurance myself. Did you have any luck? Does anyone else have any ideas?
