Bowie69 Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Realistically cab-overs are a fantastic solution to having a compact camper based on a LR, I mean what is the point of all that bonnet on a 'normal' LR? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger110 Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 It might be an age thing but caravans are brilliant imho. As for the van idea…I’ve been looking at those merc 4x4’s as a new project Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The earlier ones are land rover simple and iveco have a good dealer support worldwide, oh and about half the price of the Merc equivalent.
