We Broke Down 7000 km From Home // Van Life Problems

Our van broke down 7000 km away from home in what felt like the middle of nowhere. We almost made it to Nova Scotia but broke down on the side of the highway, right on the border. We had to juggle tow trucks, taxis, and buses but in the end both us and the van made it safe and sound into Halifax.

Our van is a 1998 Mitsubishi Delica, originally built in Japan. It is the L400 model with a V6 Gasoline engine, 4×4, locking rear differentials for better off-road performance and plenty of room in the back for our conversion! We also have a large metal roof rack and ladder that will allow us to carry more cargo.

Thanks for Watching!
