  • It finally was time to rip out the old camper and start fresh. It was cramped and outdated, I wanted a design that was more useable and looked more inviting. The whole build was very enjoyable and I am pleased with the results. I hope you enjoy the film.

    It doesn't matter how well you think out your camper, only after you live in it for a while do you realise what you actually need and how to organise things. Good to see the 2.0 version!

    日本から😃こんにちは、
    restore楽しそうですね。
     天井・壁・床に断熱塗料・防音シート・断熱材を施すと更に夏場の猛暑や冬場の厳しい寒さもFFヒーターと電気敷き毛布を兼用すれば過ごし易いですよ。万が一の為に水を使わないトイレのラップポントイレ電力12Vを使うとパックされ凝固剤で固めるので匂いも無く燃えるゴミで出す事も出来て便利ですよ。素敵なキャンピングカーライフを楽しんで下さいね。レストアの参考になりました有難う😃。

    Really class. Great to see it all come together. Nice to see someone turning a defender into a camper without breaking the bank too. Restoring a series 3 that’s been in the family since before I was born, so I appreciate the hard work and perseverance that goes into a build like this

    Beautiful work, Congratulations for the Defender conversion and you tiny garage.. Three things I think you have to do.. fit a fridge, instal a grey water tank underneath the sink (there is enough space inside the wheel arch) and install a diesel heater (I don’t know if you have installed yet). A great solution is the sliding window on the rear door!! Best wishes from Tuscany!!

    I think you did an excellent job with the new camper build. There are some pretty nifty solutions! I thought about doing the same thing with a stainless steel salad bowl (I ended up buying a small sink) but awesome to see the idea works out just great! Might steal some other ideas for my own Defender Camper build 😉Cheers!

    Great video, nice job. Not my cup of tea but immediately after watching I was staring into space eating a mince pie, thinking about my 109 and the overnight camp set up I’ve got that means I can use it as a shit wagon for the rest of the year. This entails building a swing away rear spare carrier. And the problem there is my number plate is offside and the tyre could just about obscure it. Thanks to to your vid I’ve now had a solution pop into my head. Have a numberplate and light which attaches to the spare when the spares outside when I’m using it as a camper ( like a bike carrier on the back of an estate should have) mounting problem solved, and your video started that mental ball rolling 👍happy Christmas!

    Lovely - I am very impressed. I assume that you properly fused that wiring which goes behind the passenger side panel? Last thing you need is a short there and the wires catching fire. For the under counter lights - I'd have been tempted to put a reed switch on those so that the light comes on whenever you open the doors. A future improvement, maybe - and it'll free up the buttons for other things.

    Because the LRD has a modular roof and side panels, I have always considered this to be a good basis to adapt to a high top or elevating roof, giving a low profile for driving and maximum internal living space for camping.
    For maximum effect in keeping out water, Butyl Tape will more than likely be better than the OEM Seal Strip.
    I like your presentation and narration and have subscribed to follow your build.
    Very good result from day one!
    Roof looks gorgeous, though I an surprised that you didn't insulate the floor, especially if that doubles as the sleeping area.
    Very odd that your supplier shipped the insulation in two separate deliveries, and quite irritating for you I would imagine.
    Day two sees nice improvements, and I particularly like your drawer access, radiused corners look really good in travel cabins, and yours look the business.
    You started well and are continuing in that theme.
    Its now looking really gorgeous!
    You've got plenty of storage and when rained in, you've got a lovely interior to be in.
    Do you recall where you got the hinges for the kitchen access hatches?
    You've done a superb job on your LRD, and despite your self criticism I believe that you will inspire many viewers to consider doing a build out for themselves.
    What you've done you've done well, and you should be proud of the finished result.

  • @JohnPatersonAu
    @JohnPatersonAu Год назад +4
