Just got done with another 4 days in the RTT. It's good, but just... dang, would be so nice to just close the blinds and call it done lol. My mind keeps circling back to the Delica.

I've started looking at the astro/safari. I just wonder in terms of reliability if they'd be an improvement over the Delica? Usually lots of miles on the ones I've found. Much easier to get parts for I imagine. I've been thinking that if I'm willing to break the "trifecta" and give up on...

Agreed, it does seem be about the exact size we would want. It's just my wife and I so we're only two as well. I remember seeing a video somewhere of a couple who had spent something like a year living theirs without too much complaint. Do you have a build thread here/elsewhere? Would love to...

I actually very seriously considered these early on. There were a couple hangups though. I'm shooting for a sort of "trifecta" of wants in my next vehicle: 1. Fuel efficiency. I would really like something that can beat the Xterra's dismal fuel consumption. 2. Can sleep in back. Just pull...

Also just wanted to add you guys seem to have an excellent community here! You all have been super forthcoming with your ups and downs and it is VERY appreciated!! It's encouraging to know if I decided to take the plunge there's good knowledgeable folks to turn to for advice. Full disclosure...

It is the same place. And after digging through your and other members experiences on the forum I'm really beginning to wonder what this "inspection" consists of? I mean, a lot of this stuff is just inherent with an aging vehicle, but there are other things that it seems odd to me have been...

Excellent point! It's been a long time since I've looked at the cost of diesel compared to gasoline.

That sounds phenomenal compared to what we're getting with the thirsty gasoline V6 in the Xterra! I don't mind cruising at 65mph, being that's what we normally do now trying to conserve fuel. I think at best though, on mostly level terrain when loaded with gear for camping we only managed 16mpg...

Yeah, I definitely never want to buy anything sight unseen. Direct import I don't think would be an option anyway. I live in CA, and from what I can gather, the only way to register one here is to transfer it from another state, and even then it sounds like it can be a crapshoot? Thankfully...

Thanks for the input! Hard to source I think I could live with so long as it's not impossible. Underpowered/slow I don't mind if I'm getting good MPG returns, and I don't have to drive dangerously slower than the flow of traffic on crowded interstates to get it. I'm thinking diesel is the...

Hello all! Excited to meet you and hopefully use the collective power of current U.S. Delica owners minds to make up my own lol. I've wanted a Delica from pretty much the moment I first laid eyes on one in the states, and yesterday evening the "Delica initiative" cleared the first round of...
