Jocklandjohn Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 I've seen some clever stuff in Land Rover conversions but this is pretty special. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotts90 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 To be home built makes it even more impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightning Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 (edited) Very impressive design work and looks well built too. l assume the suspension etc has been modified to cope with the extra weight and l would guess the engine has been upgraded as well.

Jocklandjohn Posted August 4, 2018 Author Share Posted August 4, 2018 As 8pot noted - it 'wobbles' so its definitely got some weight there, but I guess the builder's long experience will have informed his choice of suspension etc. The clever design keeps the weight low(ish) though so its spot on in that regard. I just watched another video of a self-built 4x4 camper with loads of stuff on it up high and its ability to cope with even a modest camber was seriously compromised. I think this one gets it pretty much 'right' - fill the 'empty' space you carry around with usable 'space' and multi-function that space wherever possible, the shower/toilet/seating being a great example.

Anderzander Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 That’s amazing - what do you think powers the body moving?  It sounds electric - but they must be pretty chunky motors in that case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ballcock Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Excellent example of making the most of space whilst not needing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Very neat, although all those automated moving parts make me think there's a tad more weight & complexity than I'd want on an overlander. Looks solid & practical though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
