Hey Andrew, you were on a show mainly for German / European overlanders. So when discussing the high Land Cruiser camper version, you should bear in mind the weather conditions overlanders may face when travelling Scandinavia, Russia or even high mountains in southern countries.
We always enjoy our warm rolling home on our pick-up. But that's not the only reason we choose such a version: Extra room and height when moving around, space for a "bathroom", a real kitchen, a big bed, a table and bench for eating a 3 course meal etc.
Another big issue is, that we often don't want to get out of the camper and set up the camping stuff because it is inappropriate at that spot or it feels a little unsafe.
It is just the question of how much comfort you want to have, We don't need a big truck, but we also don't want the tent feeling of a pop-up roof camper. So for us, the best compromise is a hard shell camper box on a pick-up.
Happy rolling, Florian
I love how honest Andrew is with his opinions about the products and hardware he is looking at and is always constructive with his discussion. So many people who make these types of films are so reticent with their thoughts and overly ingraciating towards vendors, that those of us with less experience are mistakenly led to believe that concept X, Y, and Z are the best ideas out there, without being given counter points to consider. With Andrew, he shares his thoughts, provides examples from his experience that helped form his opinions, and all of us are the richer for it. A great video as always! Thank you!
+Scott Bell Or Andrew even? Agree with your comment though!
+bestoca LMAO... yes, he's okay too ;) My dad's name is David, so I must have had him on my mind. Ha!
Exactly! Imagine what I got as I looked into changing my motorcycle tires online... You got it, NOTHING! Everyone says only good things, and everyone there knows are not only good things... So you do not trust them. Another thumbs up for Andrew ;-)
I totally agree
That’s what experience brings👍
12:00 different people, demands of the market, different terrain and places to visit so the cars are different. I'm happy about that couse you have a variety of cars:)
I live three hours away and wasn´t aware of the show but after seeing this I shall definetely go this year.Thanks for the video.
While I don't disagree with what Andrew said about the hardtop LCs, I can easily see an advantage. I suspect it's because I'm used to northern European weather and he isn't, so maybe it's a bit more obvious to me or something.
If you travel around Europe (Especially the northern parts) you're going to get shitty weather sooner or later. Having a hard top means it can actually be insulated and you don't have to worry about having to air out the tent so it can dry etc.
I'm not sure if that's enough of an advantage for me to prefer it, but it still is an advantage. :)
I love Andrews disdain for the electric Land Cruiser.
ASPW doing the arctic circle in winter conditions together with Ray Mears and/or Lars Fält, now thats a series I would like to ser. And it would challenge your skills an knowledge on a whole new level.
The added roof hight of the Landcruisers keeps the vehicle inside warmer than a fabric pop up roof, and thus more for colder climates.
Maurice Wanink I
Lol, on the Morgan-Morgen joke.
+Alpen Geist I love how he's laughing at his own joke xD
Did take a moment for me to get it as a German. Guten Morgen
The car park was awesome🤙
Your Toyota Overlander is so nice... :)
Can not wait for a good weekend at the UK expo in a few week.
Good video. I grew up loving Landrover. My cousin grew up on Landcruisers. Last week they built the last Defender Landrover. There is all this talk for years and years of a replacement but still nothing. The 70 series Landcruiser has been with us since the late 80s, regardless of what camp your in, you have to agree it has been an unbelievable success. Shame on the Landrover managers, you have had decades to sort things out. If Toyota bring the 70 series to the UK to fill the vacuum I fear many Landy lovers will convert. Me, after spending time in Africa with my cousin and his Landcruisers, I bought a Japenese import 76. It is so far in advance of even a brand new Defender, if such thing still existed.
You are so right...
Are you happy with the new one?
@@deifor To be honest, I hate what I have seen. It is just another poser 4x4.
If it doesn't have solid axles it is at a disadvantage.
It has over 50 ECU's. Ten years in Africa and that vehicle will be toast.
It's rival is the the LandCruiser 70 or the Gwagen Commercial.
It doesn't come close to either.
The new Grenadier sounds more like what the Defender should have been.
Land Rover have lost the plot. All they needed to do was strip down a 70 series, work out why it is so good and improve on it.
I have worked on my own vehicles for nearly 40 years, the LandCruiser is so simple, so well built and so easy to fix.
That is what the new Defender should have been.
cheers from Aruba, very nice event, I hope to go one day. I'm trying to open the first 4x4 store on the island. 4x4madnessaruba .
Guten Morgen hahahaha
Thanks for the vid Andrew. It definitely bummed me out not to see Desert-Tec take your interview as I've been quite curious about their vehicles fit and finish, and practicality. Other than that, thanks for your time and putting together another informative video.
I love Deutschland! This must have been before you sold your 78.
Thanks for sharing.
Grüße aus Deutschland
Look at all those Hella halogen lights..... good stuff :-)
Modern white lights make your eyes sore and are not conducive to long distance night travel.
Yeah the Unimog!!!
Great video as always, just too short!
I just read on Abenteuer & Allrad's facebook page that you were the major influence in changing their subline from Europe's largest offroad expo to the World's largest offroad expo.
+SFSideburns This is what they have told me.
Lots of people buy these things and drive to the Aldi never going out of Germany.
Hi Andrew love your shows next time you want to go on a trip down dwellingup collie let me know and I would love to tag along
6:30 - it is now 2020 age of corona, we have no electricity in South Africa. lol
Hi Andrew, I like the colour of your Land Cruiser. In the near future Im going to paint my LC, is it possible to get the colour coordinates? See you on the next Abenteuer & Allrad.
Thank you!
Nice video. If bin there. 7 jears now ever year. Its gets bigger every year
07:30 would be nice to see test drive
which company product white mercedes G double cab I cant find this car can you help
Thanks for sharing another great video Andrew.
Looked like you really enjoyed the diversity of hardware on display at the Expo.
Also pleased to see that you met up with Jon at the show - as he is the only other UK owner of a 78 Series modified Landcruiser that I have seen in the UK. ( See th-cam.com/video/NoWvuE2T6tc/w-d-xo.html )
Therefore great to hear your honest opinions and comparisons on the contrasting designs.
.
Finally are you definitely still leaving for Australia? And if so how much longer are you going to be staying in the UK ?
Cheers, Andy

How did Andrew take his land cruiser from Australia to Germany??
I didn't. This is my first Troopy, built in South Africa, that I brought to the UK when I lived there. It remained in the UK when I moved to Aus. This is the full story of that vehicle: th-cam.com/video/IwfXNrH3XPk/w-d-xo.html
I RECENTLY PURCHASED A CLASSIC MITSUBISHI SHOGUN PAJERO 2.8 TD LWB, ,HOW DO THEY RATE FOR RELIABILITY ETC????ATB 👍🌳🌄
Has the engine lasted? 2020..
Andy, what camcorder are you using for your shoot?
+eosman888 I change them all, of the time. This one was shot with a Sony A7S with a Zeiss 24-70mm lens and a senheiser MK300 mic. I am now moving over to 4K so will swap the A7S for the A7S-Mk2.
wait...is that Paul Marsh's german cousin with the electric 79?
Any Unimogs or VW Vanagon Syncros there?
+Nigel Naughton Unimog 4:11...and i guess there were a lot, because Germany is the builder of unimogs :-)
+Nigel Naughton
yes there were a lot of both
Lots of both! Suprised you didn't see! Hehe
Actually jeeps have been a major part of the US overland community for a long time, overlanding with a jeep is not a very common thing in Europe.
any HILUX there ??
toyota j70 the best : )
Next time or when you get the opportunity , try a nissan patrol td42 especially on an off-road circuit and i guarantee you will love it. It is the best all round unmodified off road vehicle i have used especially in Africa, where roads are not good and reliability is paramount. I have used landrover defender county, landrover discovery, rangerover, toyota landcruiser 100, toyota landcruiser prado and the toyota hilux. Must say the toyotas are equally good in terms of reliability but find them very unstable in curves. As for landrover vehicles they are the worst vehicles in terms of reliability and very expensive to maintain. Best avoided in Africa where reliability is probably the most reason for running the vehicles especially to remote areas. Somehow i see you are a toyota person.
''As for landrover vehicles they are the worst vehicles in terms of reliability and very expensive to maintain. Best avoided in Africa where reliability is probably the most reason for running the vehicles especially to remote areas''...this is something people should pay attention very closely. Perhaps the only place to perform a safe overlanding in a land rover is in England. Toyota Land Cruiser has a great reputation on reliability that LR has not be able ,so far, to equal.
Take me with you please
What a joke that electric cruiser be out of power before you left the city
With the current batteries yes....but what if you had a battery that could last you a week obviously not out for sale yet but just what if? That would catch alot of attention
14:52 The sight of a Defender with an erection.
The only way that could happen is if it has a ton of Viagra stuffed in the exhaust ( actually the car's ass)
A company/brand that can't openly talk about their product is a huge sign for me to never, ever do business with them.
05:35 please show me your LC :)
My 10 yr old son left this comment , he is land rover mad.He won't be leaving anymore comments.Sorry.
Better start the training and indoctrination of all things Toyota Landcruiser then.
My guess is your going to build a camper on truck, hopefully it will be built on a Ford Raptor.
I wish you would show things that you LIKE instead of things you DIDN'T LIKE. Not one interesting accessory (a cool new LED light system?), just anything, too much time wasted on the electric motor Toyota, this isn't interesting to most people. Please be more specific when you record these shows, try to think what a broader audience might be interested in. I feel that in 18 minutes you showed a bunch of Toyota 78 that you didn't find so great, and not much else. And why waste time on people that didn't let you interview them? Maybe if you had put a bit more time into showing us whatever interesting new gadget for overland camping (I am sure there were many) was being shown, and less time on your 'competitors' we'd get more from this film. Not everyone is a Troopy person.
He has a little mouth 👄
So negative... did you like anything you saw?
Please don't buy cruisers from toms fahrzeugtechnik!
Wrong car land rover only
You dont overland too much outside the city limits if your choice is an LR...
Everything that is not your toyota suck, even other toyotas, worse video you’ve done, and I saw quite a lot of them, I’m actually a good fun.
