I definitely like the idea of a Defender and a demountable is a possibility if I could find one suitable. I would love an ex battlefield ambulance but they are well outside my on the road budget of 10k. I carry a tent as well as a hammock everywhere on my travels but never use it. Not 100% sure...

Lol can't imagine the horror of that!

many thanks, that is very useful feedback. I not worried about the off road handling because that will be relatively infrequent but if you think it would handle worse than a coach built around corners, that would concern me. Mine handles relatively well by motorhome standards but I wouldn't want...

I've no experience of this kind of kit. It looks interesting but I wonder is it too much faff. Could be the sort of solution I'm looking for though

I think simple solutions like that are great. I do use my shower.... Its not fun but once you get the hang it gets the job done! Emptying the loo cassette is revolting and by far the worst thing about Motorhoming. I'm seriously looking at a dry composting solution for my next project.

Cheers for that, I'm not the only one struggling with this then :-) I agree about the roof tent.....sounds great and conjures up the image of dodging wild animals on the seringeti...but not for me either

That's what worries me.....it seems excessively heavy given its not fitted out yet. Good luck with your project. The bed is the big challenge. Sinks are overrated. Even in a motorhome people will use a container instead.

Thanks I will.... and if anyone is selling anything that might fit the bill, I'm all ears!!

I must admit the more I look at this the closer I'm getting to your view and suggested solution. I've never used a trailer so it would be an unknown but maybe with a lot of thought into the combined Landy/trailer setup it's the best compromise. A limiting factor for me is my lack of diy skills...

Many thanks for your comments. It's because of my motorhome experience I'm particularly interested in handling. A properly set up motorhome will handle. OK, just about. As this Landy camper is a home brew I'm trying to figure out which side of the line it might potentially be on. Hammocking in...

Yes that's one of my options and a good point about selling into a niche market. I'm not that keen on relying on a tent for sleeping though as it's a bit limiting but like the idea of using an awning to extend living area. How much would the extra weight in this eBay camper compromise normal on...

I currently own a coach built motorhome which is very comfortable but has zero off road abilities. Even a grassy verge under some circumstances can immobilise it!! What I would like is to be able to do some off roading, nothing extreme just rough tracks and unmade roads, whilst still having a...

Thanks for the link... very interesting. Yes a roof tent is a definite posability. As with everything there are pros and cons. It would be a more manageable, mobile set up but as I have winter in the Alps on my to do list, it wouldn't be as comfortable. I like the look of the box type roof...

Hi there I've just joined the forum and don't currently own a Land Rover. I'm hoping to find a Defender Camper of some sort so any tips would be welcome. Although an ex military ambulance would be ideal, they are outside my budget. Great to be here and looking forward to my first Defender...
