  • This video gives a brief overview of our Land Rover Defender Dormobile camper (mainly the interior). I carried out the conversion 8 years ago starting with a brand new 110 pick-up (a cancelled export order fitted with air-con). After first converting it to a hardtop I spent about 6 months modifying the Landie to for adventure travel. Since it was completed in 2012 we have been on many trips to Africa and all over Europe. It’s a vehicle I still love and here’s what I’ve learnt…
    Oh, and sorry about the typos that somehow crept into the captions!

    That is an interesting take on a pop-top without the typical bed platform up top - can't say I have ever seen that configuration before. (and I've viewed a bunch for research)
    That said I like my pop-top (alu-cab) with the bed up top. (no bed-making at night)
    Of course - to each their own - as long as it gets you out there!

    Great video and really well thought out set up. I wonder if you could share details about the storage units which I think you said were fabricated by mobile storage systems. Have you gone for a conventional split charge arrangement or something different?
    Best wishes Simon

      Hi Simon and thanks. Yes pretty straightforward battery system using a split charge relay with all the 'gubbins' fitting under the passenger seat (it's tight). The units were made by Mobile Storage Systems to my drawings/dimensions so were not their standard units (although they were but based on them). They were very helpful in meeting the spec I wanted. www.mobilestoragesystems.net.

    Very good video. Where did the seats come from that fold into a bed?
    Did you purchase the upper bunk from Dormobile Inc?
    We have a 110 and purchased our camper top in kit form from Dormobile in UK.

    • @paulhazell340
      @paulhazell340 3 года назад

      Thanks Robert. The seats are made by RIB but supplied by Dormobile, as was the bunk.

    Very nice setup - thank you for sharing. The seats which fold-out into a bed are very good. If you could share a link to the supplier, this would be very helpful

      Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. Seats are made by 'RIB' and supplied by Dormobile: www.dormobile.co.uk

    Three questions:
    What is the width of your kitchen platform?
    I understand that the width of your bed is 100 mm … can you both get accommodate in 100 mm?
    What is the internal width of your vehicle?

    Hi love the seat, it's not listed on Dormobile, I know it's a RIB seat, is there anywhere else that supply it as when I google it only VW comes up. Thanks

      No I certainly don't, I've met many wonderful people in Africa. Sorry if I've offended you in some way?
