Vera wanted a simple and easy sleeping platform - so I made her the most complicated and over-engineered one ever installed in a Land Rover Discovery. Hope you enjoy the video !
Thanks for watching.

Landrover might not be the most reliable but oh boy they so much nicer than the competition. In my humble opinion.
Absolutely right. 👍🙋♀️ Vera
I love when vera said,owh no...not again 🤦🏻♂️😆
And me lol
😅🙋♀️ Vera
This video was a bonus - three projects in one! 1) A very well built platform with multiple purposes, 2) A cargo barrier for added safety, 3) modified table with it's own storage location. Very nice Christian and Vera, very nice. You know you couldn't work for Land Rover - they wouldn't be accustomed to vehicle built right the first time!
😃👍The table storage is a game changer 🙋♀️ Vera
@@Vera_and_Christian LOL
Hi Rob. I'm a professional independent L/R R/R mechanic with over 45 years experience and L/R's haven't given me a moments trouble if you what you're doing considering what I ask of them. There are some great mechanics out there, including at some main dealers. My last 300 TDI Disco for example did over 500,000 hard and I mean hard miles, yet the block and crankshaft were still at standard size's with two original pistons in there and the gearbox still had the original parts in it apart from 5th gear and 5th layshaft gear. The transfer box was all original as were the differentials, propshafts and Universal Joints when I decided to scrap it. All I ever do is service my L/R's R/R's every 10,000 miles, which takes me about 3 months. I've rebuilt BMW engines fitted in R/R's from as little as 50,000 miles on them, petrol and diesel. Not because of the owners fault, but because of bad design, just to give some fair representation. Rant over lol 🤣
Just noticed the fire extinguishers, these guys are so professional! Wonderful platform.
My cheap discovery 3 is being delivered in the morning , 220,000 miles FSH. Mot till April 2022, it’s a late 2006 Buckingham blue SE with sand leather. It’s just had suspension module and handbrake module fitted , Its going to be a weekend toy and dog walking truck . I intend doing all repairs and maintenance myself and these videos are a great help. Thank you for all the hard work guys. 🇬🇧
😃👍🙋♀️ Vera
Congratulations on reaching 10k 😃... Christian.. Its AL-U-MIN-EEUM 😆😂
Al-u-mi-num. 😳 I lived too long in the US I guess. Christian
@@Vera_and_Christian or just "ALU" ^^
@@phreeze83 or just ally as we say.
Brilliant and the humour too. Thanks for sharing
Enjoy your vacation and take a week off!
Fantastic engineering Christian and Vera!
Now you need to take a long overnight trip with Vera’s Discovery 3 and book yourselves into a good Hotel for the night.
……Preferably one with a very comfortable bed!
……And a mini-bar fridge!!
You deserve that!
I love your German English - I used to speak when I was younger and I can hear exactly what you are saying in German as you are saying it in English - reminds me of my childhood :). Excellent platform build! I wish I could do this myself
Amazing, this week I am just lost for words
I do enjoy how you work together and how she explains how you over engineer. My wife does that too as well saying how I over think everything. Fine work you two.
That was a fantastic way for me to spend a Sunday morning. Love the enthusiasm and dedication
That was the most well engineered platform/bed solution I've seen. Really inspiring, and I hope you continue to share your designs and creation in such detail. Hope to get my LR soon. Thank you from America.
Thank you, and lots of fun for you with your Land Rover. You are going to love it. 👍🙋♀️ Vera
Nice work, and congrats on 10k subs!
Great German engineering, love you video ,your a great couple greetings from England !
Great idea and very practical,
This is the best Land Rover channel on youTube. Just LOVE it. Here you actually learn something, a lot off things. I,m not afraid off buying a Land Rover anymore. Thanks to you two Incredible guys. Looking at the biggest salesite in Sweden, BLOCKET.
Hi. Good job as always will miss watching next week. Have a good time. 😁❤️
Marvelous Christian and Vera! Very much enjoy zee German engineering and critique of said, makes for a marvelous comedy team and so useful at zee same times😺😺
Another cool LR video! Thanks
Well Christian you've exceeded my expectations of you ones again you are what i call a genius and you just amazed me what you can do . How can i go 2 weeks with out seeing your amazing ideas .
You and Vera and your son's have a great holiday and I do hope you catch the some on film .
Ralph
Germans love aluminium extrusion !
you guys should do some live videos on holidays
Another piece of ingenious engineering from the husband and wife team. Great video
this is a real neat setup definitely some good German engineering ;)
Have a great vacation. Great platform.
oh wow, i think you can blow my mind 🤯 almost every week! what an amazing engineer christian is.
There is no such thing as thoughtfully 'over-engineered' !
Another very clever solution! Enjoy your vacation!
I have to stop watching my American Overlanding channels now, because your attention to detail and the close tolerances are just amazing. Here in the US we like things that rattle and need minor adjustments to make something fit even when built specifically for our vehicles. Another great video...
😃👍🙋♀️ Vera
Pretty snazzy!
Great job. I've placed a foam double mattress in my rear and it does the trick for me. With the foam mattress, it can bend so the rear seats can be opened. It has a good bit of head room.
We have to get a better matress for this setup, but there was no time left. But in the long run, if this sleeping arrangement works out, we'll get him something more comfortable. 👍🙋♀️ Vera
@@Vera_and_Christian that's great
What a neat design. Very much ‘German engineering’ even when Vera screws the channel on the wrong side of the line. :) I am very familiar with the old 10min job taking hours. I’m 2months into a bathroom renovation and am still many weeks away from completion.
I love those machined pivot hinges. Very slick. I can think of so many uses for those. If only we could buy them to suit a range of RHS sizes.
Thanks for another great video.
Amazing design Christian, and so nice executed and explained. And also, your new way of editing the film is very pleasant to watch. Good job Vera!👍🏻
Question: Are you going to incorporate a latch to open the boot from the inside, in case of an emergency when sleeping in there?
I think it is a pity that you won’t post a film because of vacation. Just share your vacation with us, all 10.000 of us! We are addicted now, and won’t to go on vacation with you! Make a road movie where you use all those amazing mods and creative ideas you made real.
Thanks you guys!
I just discovered your channel, and I love to see how your work around all the issues, that I find myself in in some of my overlanding projects. But beside the pedagogy of this content, I love the dynamic you two have and the love you have for this projects, and I find myself watching your videos, learning and laughing with your teasing and your jokes " My German engineering" is one of my favorites ! 🤣 thanks for sharing all this extraordinary content ! 👍
No words needed 👏👏👏👏👏
Real precision. Great video and 'outtakes' at the end. :-)
lol Vera, "It's over-engineering" lol Pure genius, but I have 2 Deutscher Schäferhunds, so not something I can do sadly. Amazing idea.
Fantastic, patent the idea, .
Amazing workmanship ❤
Increible vuestro trabajo , da gusto ver como mejorais el Discovery3 semana tras semana , haceis una pareja increible, como propietario de un Discovery 3 os sigo cada semana como si fuera un capitulo de Juego de Tronos , jajajajaj , un saludo desde MARBELLA, ESPAÑA ¨.
It's built like A Tiger Tank.
German-engineered......Vera-approved!!!
This is something I am planning for my D2👍great video as always.
I built something similar but much less polished for my D2. Simple platform behind the rear seats. Fold the back seats down (but not folded forward) and they form the front of the platform with a narrow shelf to fill the gap. I put a vertical divider up the middle to provide support for the shelf. Slide out drawers underneath. My fit and finish is not nearly up to your high German standards. 5/8 plywood sanded and sealed. No metal. Simple.
Amazing work as always. You always make it look so simple and loads of fun.
brilliant design please put up plans with dimensions for the less talented engineers
Very well done, great video again I like the funny comments/ humour.
Hi Vera and Christian
Fantastic video and solution it has inspired me now to attempt the same in our Disco4
Regards
Mike
I forgot to say we live in Argyll Scotland
👍👌Great, it's also perfect for everyday life. 👍🙋♀️Vera
Very functional - excellent!
Christian your German engineering is epic
Evening guys 😀 That was some fantastic engineering form a great engineer with the most sweetest assistant ever in Vera 😍 Well done in 10k subscribers 👍🏻 I'm depressed already knowing that there's no LRT next Sunday 😢 Take care and have a lovely vacation until next time cheers Stevie 😎🇬🇧
Everything is very clear to me now. As soon as my car is delivered I need to move near you :) .
Congrats on the 10k subscribers !! :)
Beste Lösung bis jetzt was ich gesehen habe👌
What I'm doing is building 6 inches above the floor on one side 32 inches wide with a fold up so u can use the back seat but when u let back seat down unfold so u have full 32 wide by 64 inch long and total of 10 inches off the floor with room beside u if u wanted just to sit
100% agreement: if you have to stay in the car longer than night time its a pain if you can´t sit up! Most people ignore this issue...
That should be a product 👍
This is a beautiful bit of engineering and fabrication work. Well done! It might be overdesigned for what it needs to do, but that's what allows it to be as optimized as it is. I'm confident this one was a ton of work; we only saw a small fraction of what went into it.
If a V2 was ever to be built, my only suggestion would be to consider using a composite panel rather than the 12mm plywood. You could have a similar moment of inertia to resist bending but at a fraction of the weight.
Also, a mattress/bed slat-based approach would be interesting too. I'm picturing ledges running the length of the platform on either side of the vehicle. Then you'd buy/build the style slats with the fabric webbing between them. You could store and then deploy them rather rapidly when the time came. But slats make a poor shelf for anything other than a mattress. Everything is a compromise.
Yes, the wood is quite heavy. It also does not need to be that strong. Christian
Amazing idea and great addition to your Disco 3 .
I noticed that your back seats are like my wifes Range Rover Sport TDV8 , my 2005 Disco 3 seats are different.
ich freu mich wenn ihr auf reise fahrt und coole plätze zeigt !!!
video noch nicht angeschaut aber daumen ist nach oben !!!
Congratulations on 10,000 subscriber's guys. Have a lovely vacation.
I would love you guys to review a 10 year old G Wagon soon. Is it good, great or amazing - worth the money? Your verdict would be great…
Well, I would not know where to get one to review. Looking at the used car market here in Germany, it's about 45000€ for a 25 year old car with 350000 km on it. There is no way we will ever own a G Wagon. Prices are just ridiculously through the roof here. 🙋♀️ Vera
Love your work! Simplicity in design, as long as you can remember how it works but that's in the spirit of landrover anyway :)
Great job, well done 👍
Congratulações ... excelente vídeo.
Aprendi muito com você!!
👏👏👏👍👍
Best german engineering, sehr gut :-)
sorry bro. you lost me at 13:35 "things dangling down are not good" 😂🤣 Anyway awesome content as always! keep it up! 👍
1. Congrats on reaching 10k subscribers! 2. Just a fantastic setup for the sleeping platform. Love how the cargo barrier has a dual role. This is one of the things I need to do on the next stage of my D3, but I'll try to figure out a less German (i.e. more simple, albeit less elegant) solution for mine.
3. The rear folding seats has nothing to do with age. My D3 is a 5 seater from 2005 and the rear seats fold flat like on your D4. All 7 seaters had that completely flat folding setup, while most 5 seaters had your setup.
Cheers, and have a great vacation!
You two are brilliant ;-) I also like "over engineered" and you've done an excellent job, I am in awe of your tool collection and workshop btw. Congrats on you reaching 10K subscribers. Looking forward to your next vid, enjoy your holiday and stay safe :-))
Very cool! Publish the plans!
We might do that to our Patreons 😃👍🙋♀️Vera
Very nice work!
nice!
Over engineered no !!!
Things are just Christianised 😂😂😂😂😎😎😎
"We have one engineering mistake. No, we don't. Yeah, we do. No we don't."
It goes like that all the time. 😅👍🙋♀️ Vera
Love your videos and would love to do some of your builds especially the slide out bed bud I don't have that kind of workshop.
You’re so damn clever Christian! Not as smart as me of course, but still clever! 😂😂👍
Hugely entertaining videos, the prop shaft was outstanding I learnt something, keep this level and you will reach 20k in no time. I have a suggestion for a future video, have you though of listing the special tool and home made tool for DIY LR maintenance. Also books, Haynes used to do all this many years ago.
genius
Wow! 😲
10k 😁Well done!
Really fantastic work. There's a reason the rest of Europe looks to the Germans to engineer everything.
PS: Landrover issue machete at 22:04 ?
Another brilliant video and more engineering. Excellent. Would you consider some protection for the rear of the seats where the legs stand on them? Over a prolonged period of camping I suspect wear might show.
Brilliant. ❤❤❤❤❤
Nice to hear a German talking in inches
Congratulations on the 10K subs...Another great video with lots of good info...I built the same sort of slide out as you have and was investigating ways to incorporate a sleeping platform, this video gives me great Ideas as to how I can do this myself
Thank you Both👍😀
😃👍🙋♀️ Vera
So Christian works a full-time job, edits videos AND engineers/builds amazing contraptions -- I am assuming he does not sleep? Anyways, have fun on your vacation and congratulations on your 10.5k subscribers! At this rate you'll have 25k by Christmas!
That would be something. 😅👍🙋♀️ Vera
congratulations on 10,000 subs, another great video can i ask do you prefer manual or automatic gearbox and why. many thanks
Hello Graham, that is a difficult question. I prefer the manual trans in our LR3. It fits the car much better and is unbreakable. I love the 8HP in my LR4 but it just does not shift when I want it on its own. It is nicer in stop and go traffic. But on country roads I miss a manual trans. The steering wheel shifters are not for me. I do not use them. Useless technology. They belong in a performance SUV which a Discovery is not. Christian
@@Vera_and_Christian thanks for your reply Christian please tell me how do i get a sticker? many thanks Graham
Briliantt 🤘🏻
Christian, your engineering is nearly at LR standards. If you use more hammers and 6” nails you’d be there.. 🤩🤩
Now you have 10k subscribers you can’t take vacations, it’s the law. 😂😂😂
😄👍 The laptop is already packed. 🙋♀️ Vera
What an amazing job you have done. Wow. But if someone has milling machine in its garage there are no jokes :) I am curious did you have to legalize it on TUV or they do allow you in Germany to do so arbitrarily?
Since it is not attached permanently, and it is not extruding the cars dimensions, you do not need to have any TÜV approvement. And we did not change the status (like applying for RV status) for tax purposes. 🙋♀️ Vera
What is the length dimension for the sleeping platform? Impressive build!
It’s 1800 mm. We are all short people…. 😂. Christian
Great stuff. What are the dimensions of your sleeping platform (length and width)? Thank you for your efforts.
German engineering is over engineering. Nothing wrong with that. I think you need to copyright that folding bed mount.
Proper German engineering right here, English version is to fold seats down with air bed over the seats no engineering at all 🤣
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣👍👍
👍👍👍
I want to see it with a mattress on top. Not sure that you would have enough room to sleep in there???
We use a Thermarest air matress. Yes, if you want more headroom, you will have to use a different setup from ours. But I like having a drawer and our Engel fridge. So this was the best compromise we could come up with. It is not intended for longterm travel, and we took a tent as another option for Philipp to sleep in. 🙋 Vera
Things that Dangle down ain't good hahahaha 🤣
Great video as always
Can I ask how the platform in the rear of the vehicle is supported/fixed
Dear Christian & Vera did you do plans for this build?
No unfortunately we freestyled the build.🙋♀️
A little late, but the OEM cargo divider uses a bracket which attaches into the bolt you removed at 18:00. Perhaps that would not be to the standard of German engineering 😉
Yes and also, we do not buy parts like that. The whole purpose of our channel is to own and use a Discovery without paying an arm and a leg for expensive OEM parts and Land Rover repairs. We manufacture those kind of parts ourselves. 😃👍🙋♀️ Vera
@@Vera_and_Christian totally understand! I was suggesting that was a simple location to use for attaching home-made brackets since it attaches directly to the C-pillar frame and requires no trimming 😁 I love your channel and what you inspire us LR owners to pursue
