Let me introduce myself

I am Mick from Dublin. And this is my daily ride.
The goal was to do camper conversion and still have 6 seats.
The layout was thought at the beginning, the small thing were perfected over the years.
For example, I got rid of 20 litres water can.
I just buy 2 litres bottles from supermarket.
Empty 20 litres can still takes the same volume, as full. But it is empty.
Empty 2 litres bottle just crashed and goes to the trash can.
Which I have 2. One in the place where normal people keep cool box, and yet another at the back.
And these cans really important to have.
We travel 2 of us, me and my wife. The setup is the best for us.
I have small gas water heater, which we take with us when we know we will be on the road long enough.
Small tent for shower and toilet makes life easier, you have place to change, place to take shower, etc.
I service it myself, religiously change oil every 5K km, oil filter every 10K km, refresh gearbox oil every 5K, etc.
There is service intervals and liquids quantities somewhere on this forum, great help.
Well, if you have questions, ask.

I use alcohol cooker that i build into the box which i fitted on foldable seat frame.
I have an expedition roof rack, but with rack fitted i will not fit underground parking.
So, bike rack box and rooftop rack stored in Spain, where we usually travel
The antenna on the bullbar is not connected, I cut the tip of the antenna to be the same height as the highest point of Delica.
This way i know for sure if i fit under the barrier.
The real antenna is on the right hand side on the gutter. While driving there is small CB antenna, when in place i fit another one, bigger.
I use 8' tablet as navigation aid, simply attaching it to the instrument claster at the centre
