Delica Canada | Mitsubishi Van Club

New setup , now a folding platform to accomodate bikes and stuff,also made the drawer height to fit my toolboxes, the legs automatically drop when I flip the top,makes it way easy to pack sheets of drywall/plywood /doors etc. the raised dowel keeps stuff from sliding around. This way my main tools are out of sight and I can still carry bigger stuff like saws and compressors beside or in front. Also have a foamy for camping and our feet hang over the reclined captains chairs, not ideal for that but not bad either , might get another foamy to raise our feet a bit. Just have one seat out temporarily.Used shelf brackets to bolt to back seat attchment.
I use my van for work (construction supervisor) and have been driving the S**t out of it lately with projects all over the peninsula and greater vic area. I've put on 80,000 + km since I bought it almost time for new belts .
Edit - the platform and drawer are 54" long - if your lumberyard carries baltic birch plywood it often comes in 5'x5' sheets and is a superior product for projects like this
cheers

That looks great!

Where does the rolled-up futon go?

I'll have to get a roof rack welded up for that

Thank's for this post Artacoma. Just In Time Design - I've been trying to figure-out a design that would allow 2 bikes with front-wheels that don't easily remove to be locked inside the van, yet still have a quick-access bed and, ideally a back seat or two. This looks almost perfect. Another design I was thinking of is some sort of fold-away/flip-up&down base/frame upon which to roll-out recycled futon-frame cross-members, held together/spaced with attached webbing (ie. easy to "roll-up" and store out of the way).

Very nice job Artacoma! Really slick use of space. Top shelf stuff
And hey Blackberry, we still have yet to see pictures of your bus - Are ya waiting until ALL you mods are done?!
