1994 Mitsubishi Delica
Get away from it all in the Escapod a 1994 Mitsubishi Delica Star Wagon with Reimo pop top launching out of Missoula, MT.With an aesthetic that could only come out of 1990s Japan, the Escapod is ready to blast off. Belted seating for 7 (4 shoulder, 3 lap, 1 extra non belted jump) all folds flat to create a comfy lower bed for two. Pop the top, elevate your headroom and sleep two of your crew in the padded upper bunk. The brand new, turbocharged and intercooled diesel engine and rebuilt driveline will get you into orbit at a safe velocity and the custom snorkel intake, 4wd hi/lo, BFG K02 tires (or Bridgestone Blizzaks during Winter months) and front skid plating will keep you cruising out there.Right hand drive (don't worry cosmonauts, it only takes a moment to adjust to), forward control (unbeatable views on the highway, true thrills on the dirt) and fresh turbo diesel with a satisfying whistle sincerely makes your backroad journey the destination.The true enthusiast's choice for a trip to Glacier, West Yellowstone or for a cruise anywhere in between, this rig will provide you with an experience unlike any other.We can option this van just the way you want for either transport/rental, front country and/or backcountry camping. Rear hitch can haul up to four bikes with optional 1up USA rack.At Wanderlust AV we love to see our rigs out on long trips so take 10 for 10; that's 10% off the daily rate for any booking 10 days or longer.The Escapod just touched down with us here at Wanderlust AV and is booking now with many fresh updates to come.*Escapod is a rare and special van that was designed and intended for the Japanese, not the US market, over 25 yrs ago.

Have a question?Get answers directly from the host
Q.Is this van legal to drive in the US?
A.
Absolutely. The ESCAPOD is properly titled here in Montana and perfectly legal to drive as any other highway vehicle. The US has a strict 25 year import rule and this van was properly imported under it.
Q.Is it hard/weird to drive on the right side?
A.
Surprisingly, no. It takes a few minutes to adjust to the seating position but that's about it. Brake and acceleration are in the usual places. Turning on the wipers when you mean to signal a turn is a thing at first- those stalks are reversed from what's normal in the US. In any case, you'll get a full primer and drive along before taking off!
Q.Does this van have airbags or ABS?
A.
Definitely not. The van is a 1994 JDM import and only has safety features required in that market at that time.
Q.I've heard these are slow, how fast will it go? Can it handle hills?
A.
ESCAPOD has a brand new D4BF engine, oversized coolant system with enhanced routing, an intercooler, enhanced air intake and exhaust and a professional tune. That said, it's still a 25yo, 5000+ lb van with large wheels/tires (and possibly 7 bodies w. gear!) and a 2.5 liter engine- it's going to feel slow compared to typical vehicles but cruises without breaking a sweat, hills included. As with all our campers, we recommend 65mph as a max speed for a multitude of reasons. Enjoy the cruise!
