If I lived in Australia I would definitely try to buy it off you but I live in the states lol! This was inspiring, keep up the good work, these vans are slowly fading away!

There where moisture problems and we took all off and make New isolation and furitures. Ketchup software planing is great idea to solve coming mistakes. if we can do it ( learn it.) We must make all construction with thinner material.We must keep car in right shape for weight for safe limits for offisial regulations. Thank you and good summer drive!

This is a really nice design, although I think 16mm MDF adds a lot of unnecessary weight. 9mm ply would have been suitable for a lot of this and a saved a lot of weight.

It's got me so stoked! What was the cost of the MDF with cutting if you don't mind me asking? Presumably went MDF to save cost? Bit of extra weight would never phase the Delica beast ;)

@DronerLife Жыл бұрын

Thanks simon! 😃 the 16mm white mdf sheets here in aussie were around $80 if im not wrong. Used 4 white sheets and 1 raw which is $60. Yeah mdf is cheaper if youre in a budget as was my case, but most preffet ply. The extra weight was never a issue for the 3.0 v6 😝. Please send some photos once you done with yours

I've checked out your plans and they are great. I also love the kitchen design. Great work! It looks like I have the same van and I'm keen to make a similar design for the folding bench/bed. However, I wanted to get your thoughts on head clearance when sitting on the bed. It looks like the base of your bench is 36cm/14" and with the mattress it's 47cm/18.5" Does this provide enough head clearance when sitting in the van? I am not tall (172cm) and when I measured head clearance, I calculated that my bench could only be about 34cm/13.5" tall or else my head hits the top of the van in the centre part (there is more room in the crystal light roof section). I would love to hear your thoughts.

@DronerLife Жыл бұрын

Hey Max glad to know you liked it! Yes the base is 36cm but i had to make a thinner mattress with 6cm (and the foam got to be bit harder too) so i could fit sitting on it. As you can see in 3:30 of the video, im sitting on the sofa (same height as when bed is set) but i can only fit on the side, as the centre part is too low for me, im 6'3. On the crystal light section i dont hit the head but am about to, maybe 1cm away. Please also mind that my Delica is high roof model, check if yours is the same
