It doesn't matter how well you think out your camper, only after you live in it for a while do you realise what you actually need and how to organise things. Good to see the 2.0 version!
Really class. Great to see it all come together. Nice to see someone turning a defender into a camper without breaking the bank too. Restoring a series 3 that’s been in the family since before I was born, so I appreciate the hard work and perseverance that goes into a build like this
Nice build ! Defender is my little dream, I hope that one day I m gonna build something like this for me and my son ! I m glad that I found your channel, thank you !
Now it's BORIS THE DEFENDER 3.0! I think you did an excellent job with the new camper build. There are some pretty nifty solutions! I thought about doing the same thing with a stainless steel salad bowl (I ended up buying a small sink) but awesome to see the idea works out just great! Might steal some other ideas for my own Defender Camper build 😉Cheers!
Awesome! How big/wide is the space between the couch and the kitchen cabinet (in cm or inches)? And is it sufficient or would you prefer wider? I’m building my Landy for full time living, so wanna utilize the most, but still being able to walk (alucab ripoff top)
You make me to rethink the campering ideas.... Great job mate!!! Really I'm impressed. Unfortunately I need a camper for 4 people to live in so I can't have same as yours.
This is the best Defender conversation, I am 100% convinced Brother 🙏 This is a budget one, not that hihi which not all can afford, But the best better than those flashy ones, Very honest video
Just so inspired by this Jack Old chap! Have been binge watching your channel getting so much inspiration and motivation to do my 110! Amazing Old chap! 🙏 TSD Huge well done.
Beautiful work, Congratulations for the Defender conversion and you tiny garage.. Three things I think you have to do.. fit a fridge, instal a grey water tank underneath the sink (there is enough space inside the wheel arch) and install a diesel heater (I don’t know if you have installed yet). A great solution is the sliding window on the rear door!! Best wishes from Tuscany!!
Great job and even more impressive that you're working with just two power tools. For the LED they sell aluminum extensions that the stops sit in and you can put a diffuser over it so it's not too much glare from the lighting elements
Looks nice for a tight space and 100 % better than before now you need buy a diesel heater for winter months I like fall & winter camping over hot weather
Great video, nice job. Not my cup of tea but immediately after watching I was staring into space eating a mince pie, thinking about my 109 and the overnight camp set up I’ve got that means I can use it as a shit wagon for the rest of the year. This entails building a swing away rear spare carrier. And the problem there is my number plate is offside and the tyre could just about obscure it. Thanks to to your vid I’ve now had a solution pop into my head. Have a numberplate and light which attaches to the spare when the spares outside when I’m using it as a camper ( like a bike carrier on the back of an estate should have) mounting problem solved, and your video started that mental ball rolling 👍happy Christmas!
I haven't watched this build for more than ten minutes before because I want to use my defender as a five seater rather than a two seater. I am. glad I took the time to watch it all the way through because I learned a lot and you gave me ideas how to make my landy right for me rather than trying to duplicate someone else. Many thanks
This was really fun to watch. I love going camping and this would be an amazing vehicle to go play in! I love how you used the space. It feels SO spacious for being such a small area. I feel so inspired. Thanks for sharing!!
Nice job! Question: when completely stripped, you have those two "benches" down each side of the floor. Apart from the wheel arches, is there anything in there? Or is it empty space that could be used for additional storage? 👍
Excellent work! Just about to start doing my 110 and you've given me some great ideas :-) Do you have a link for the water tank/tap? That looks like a perfect fit :-)
Having recently subscribed to your channel I'm really loving the content. I think that you've done an amazing job fitting the new layout. Sorry to hear about your father's passing but a nice touch to dedicate this to him. Looking forward to seeing you in future Vlogs.
Thank you so much for inspiring me! I want to convert but too many choices and not sure which way to go! I love that water tank and pump set! I like that you did not make too many holes to secure things.
Lovely - I am very impressed. I assume that you properly fused that wiring which goes behind the passenger side panel? Last thing you need is a short there and the wires catching fire. For the under counter lights - I'd have been tempted to put a reed switch on those so that the light comes on whenever you open the doors. A future improvement, maybe - and it'll free up the buttons for other things.
Hi , thanks for making the video very entertaining I'd like to echo all the comments below.... Fantastic straightforward layout. Big thumbs up from me 😊. .... I was just wondering if some of that black bungie net type stuff would work well across the water bottle instead of 1 bungee strap??? 😜
Excellent work! You should be very proud! That looks like a very welcoming and useful place to spend time. Sorry about your Dad. I’m sure he would have loved your accomplishments here!
That is an amazing job you have done there, I going to do mine slightly different to yours, seen so many camper builds but this by far is the sort of thing im wanting to do, Im a wildlife photographer and make videos, so all my camera and lighting equipment will have to go aboard as well, but some great ideas there Thank you and will follow you to see how things are going. & yes i am a drag Queen too so all my Girlie stuff too Ha ha I need a bigger truck
Really nice, practical, real-world build with lots of good ideas. Also, good on ya for making this one single video rather than a "series" of mini-videos.
Because the LRD has a modular roof and side panels, I have always considered this to be a good basis to adapt to a high top or elevating roof, giving a low profile for driving and maximum internal living space for camping. For maximum effect in keeping out water, Butyl Tape will more than likely be better than the OEM Seal Strip. I like your presentation and narration and have subscribed to follow your build. Very good result from day one! Roof looks gorgeous, though I an surprised that you didn't insulate the floor, especially if that doubles as the sleeping area. Very odd that your supplier shipped the insulation in two separate deliveries, and quite irritating for you I would imagine. Day two sees nice improvements, and I particularly like your drawer access, radiused corners look really good in travel cabins, and yours look the business. You started well and are continuing in that theme. Its now looking really gorgeous! You've got plenty of storage and when rained in, you've got a lovely interior to be in. Do you recall where you got the hinges for the kitchen access hatches? You've done a superb job on your LRD, and despite your self criticism I believe that you will inspire many viewers to consider doing a build out for themselves. What you've done you've done well, and you should be proud of the finished result.
Cracking job! Rather motivating. How much of the electrics run off the Jackery and how much off the main battery (I'd be afraid of running that flat)? I take it there is a solar panel on the roof and the cool box is electric?
Great video and great inspiration for what is possible in a limited space. i'm thinking of getting a 110 as a stealth camper but worried about sleeping length as i am over 6 foot. i have converted a bongo before so not too bothered by design and fab. how did you find it when camping?
@@BorisTheDefender cheers, i'm definitely used to sleeping diagonally everywhere i go, it'll only be for cheeky weekends etc so i'm sure i'll cope. keep up the content, loving your defender and adventures.
Great video, thanks for taking the time to put it together. Just wondered how much, if any, consideration do you have to give to the weight you are adding? Thanks.
Is the whole space underneath the left and right "benches" already occupied with something? If not, you could have used these 2 hollow cavities in front the wheel wells to gain an extra m³ interior room...
It doesn't matter how well you think out your camper, only after you live in it for a while do you realise what you actually need and how to organise things. Good to see the 2.0 version!

日本から😃こんにちは、
restore楽しそうですね。
天井・壁・床に断熱塗料・防音シート・断熱材を施すと更に夏場の猛暑や冬場の厳しい寒さもFFヒーターと電気敷き毛布を兼用すれば過ごし易いですよ。万が一の為に水を使わないトイレのラップポントイレ電力12Vを使うとパックされ凝固剤で固めるので匂いも無く燃えるゴミで出す事も出来て便利ですよ。素敵なキャンピングカーライフを楽しんで下さいね。レストアの参考になりました有難う😃。

I LOVE This!! Can’t wait to see Boris one day! X
Ayyyy thank you so much! You must! Maybe even borrow for a night!
Almost certainly the only LR Defend 110 with a mahogany dado rail. Nice work.
Such a great video. You’ve done great and I’m borrowing plenty of ideas. Your Dad would’ve been proud!
Thanks so much! That's really kind of you.
So lovely including your Dad's bits in 🙏🙏🙏
