Camper Conversions

Y'all

LRO magazine sometime last year did a feature on a guy who had ordered a 130 camper conversion. Muts nuts of a job it was too, not a demountable! Lost my copy and I can't find the company on the net - does anyone know who the company was?

Foley do vehicle conversions including the defender 130,
FOLEY SPECIALIST VEHICLES
might not be the company you are looking for though

There was also one done by Pukka i thnk.

Found the website for this one Camping car tout terrain pour pick-up 4x4 : PSI Azalai

Busaboy - do you have a link for Pukka - this is the company cited in LRO but as I said the pic is of the Azalai

That conversion does look awesome, i am hoping there might be one at one of the shows this year to have a look. I think £38k is a bit steep but it is way better than one of those de-mountable efforts!!

I have just spotted this well priced de-mountable for a 130 dbl cab or 110 single cab. What do you think?
(Well known auction site number - 260227433914)

Actually looks better than some - with les over hang at the rear. Can't say I'm sold on the idea but at that price it would be good for a one off trip and sell on.

that it the bee knees , £40k tho including the defender. way out of my price bracket....

i want a VW camper van... i know its not a landy , but ive always wanted one. even them no change out of £8k for a good one

Drove a VW camper with a Subaru engine conversion in OZ went like sh*& off a shovel. Wouldnt bother with a VW engine one, the looks are ok but the reality of ownership leaves a lot to be desired. going by the number I have towed. including Frankfurt to calais.

The demountables seem to have more stuff - and bigger because of it - not sure how this would impact driveability - what would the VW be lke off road - do you mean one of the air cooled ones?

tacr2man · Apr 13, 2008

Yes it was a converted aircooled one. They have been used off road, but 2wd makes hard work of it. Even 4wd doesnt always guarantee progress

2wd more for dirt roads than off road, or wet african/other dirt roads
