About a month ago I bought a 2008 110 to turn into a camper. Came with a bulkhead delete and MUD seat rails which was good. Also a set of BFG KO2's!
 Click image to enlarge I am planning on driving to Portugal for Christmas and then using it for weekends in the UK and getting over to Europe as much as we can next year. After visiting the Overland Adventure show I decided that I do not need everything to take me around the world so plan on keeping it fairly simple. The back will consist of storage down one side with a slide out fridge. The a full length bench seat that will turn into a bed. Plenty of power sockets to charge phones and power the fridge. I have started off the insulation. I plan on using foil back bubble wrap, then filling the gaps with celetex. A vapour barrier will be stuck over it all and then covered by plywood and carpet. Click image to enlarge I have also fitted a split charge system which the details can be found here (using 2 full size batteries under the seat) - http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic57340.html Click image to enlarge I will try and update as I go along or if you have instagram you can follow me @scottdabinett |

I have a bed in the back of my HT and am just starting to plan a drawer to form the foot end of my bed.
MSS do one that's nearly correct, but it's not 100% what I want and it's pricey so planning on making my own. This is mine as it is at the moment, but the bed will be going on the other side. Click image to enlarge There's a slightly tweaked Mantec Load Lugga just behind the seats for more storage. |

Got some more of the insulation done today!
Now I need to order some cable so I can get all my wire run and move on to the celotex. Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge |

Got the wiring done this weekend. Luckily had the help of my fiancé’s dad.
Auxiliary fuse box got fixed under the drivers seat next to the one that is already there. Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Here is the relay for my split charge mounted in the same area. I don’t think I had a picture of this before. Click image to enlarge The wires were run out of a hole that was already there and a new hole was drilled into the cabin behind the seat. Ran it through some conduit and then up to the bulkhead where it passes through into the the rear. Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge I also ran the wires for the eberspacher diesel heater again out of the box below the seat, through existing holes and along the bulkhead ready to be fitted into a storage box where the heater will be housed in the back. Click image to enlarge The wires that came from the fuse box were then run around the back where they will power the fridge (3mm cable), LED lights and usb sockets (2mm cable). Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Overall a productive weekend. We will hopefully be able to start insulation and ply lining next weekend! |
