(There’s vanlife, and then there’s life on the road for this couple, who have taken van modifications to a whole other level, as GearJunkie.com reports.)
A rare 1988 Mitsubishi Delica has hundreds of custom features and modifications, almost too many to number (and maybe more than any other van of its kind in the world).
The steering wheel is on the right side. It removes at a click when the van stops, a custom feature added to thwart any attempt by a thief.
“People look inside and think, ‘why is there no steering wheel?’” said Sam Salwei, owner of the uber-modified Mitsubishi Delica, aka the “SlackerVan.”
Salwei, 40, lives in the 1988 van with partner Raquel Hernández-Cruz, 41. Over the past four years, the pair has traversed the continent to teach, slackline, and explore as leaders of the YogaSlackers group.
They have mechanic friends around the country and a litany of gear companies involved in a mission to make the van perfect for travel and life on the open road.
