Plans for Campervan Delica L300 4WD Rebuild Part 1

 Hi guys it has been a while.

Today we will talk about campervan rebuilt. Yes I am in position to talk about it since we owned it in 2010 a 1997 L300 Delica 4WD. We chose an Auto transmission and she was registered as a cargo van. Less tax.


We have been traveling around Taiwan many time until she was let to rot for the last 7 years. Initially I wanted to sell it but my transmission KO. Got it fix last year and suddenly the price of this vehicle sored. So we decided to make her better for our own use. She was in 2 workshops both for 3 months each.

Samsung Screwed Up My Phone


I have never been a Samsung fan, Sony have always been my choice for last 15 years. Back in Singapore 2016 my son had a Samsung S7 and he had made me change my mine. Back then Sony did not have the phone of choice so I have decided to purchased a Samsung S7. 

The S7 was my adventure tough phone, made videos, Navigate, edited videos for Youtube, entertainment  etc. Recently due to poor anger management I have damage the screen.

So the phone was sent for replacement screen and when it came back the led and sensor was not working. Back it when for service and when it returned I asked if the phone is still waterproof and I did not get an answer. I decided to put it to the test and it failed!!

The service center called and told me the phone could not be repaired and they can't do anything about it!!!

Moral of the story if you send your phone for repair it is best you check with them. I made this video so everyone around the world can take note about this problem. As for me now if I do not get an answer I will bring this to Consumer Association. 



Gear Review Titanium Canteen Set


Note: Below is a video I have made, this is the first time using and setup.

Before I start the post, first of all I like to thanks Campers' Corner Singapore for sponsoring this Titanium Canteen Set. It has been a great addition to our outdoor kit. 

Titanium Canteen Set do not come cheap, I wanted this for quite sometime and was fortunate enough Campers' Corner gave this set to me. 

Why this is not cheap is simply because the Canteen alone makes up of 3 three pieces to make one, the bottom, top half is welded together than follow by the screw thread. That is the reason you find the canteen has a middle line and that is the joining area. 

I am glad it fitted firmly in my Eagle Creek Backpack as the pic show above. This backpack have traveled around World the for 15 years.

Usually I will carry a cookset and Nalgene bottle with Snow Peak Mug which nested firmly for both me and partner used. 

With this new setup, I will save space in the backpack and carry less weight. The canteen itself has 1200ml and mug 600ml capacity. That is more than enough for our traveling needs.

Now it will also be a great addition to my solo outdoor needs.  My outdoor set will be used with water filter to fill the mug, boil it and pour into the canteen. As it is made of Titanium, it will cool very fast. I will still carry a 450ml Titanium Snow Peak Mug for drinks mix. Inside the mug will store Alcohol Stove.  



Gear Review AMG Titanium Large Cook Pot





This is a short review on AMG Titanium Cook Pot. The last review I did on a Medium Pot Set was a while back. This review is just to show how the medium and large Pot set can nested perfectly.

Till today, we have use the medium pot set extensively at home and it served us well. Quality built still remain the same.
