DEFENDER CAMPER BUILD 2.0 ● NEW AND IMPROVED 

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

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!

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 :-)

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😃。

'Roaming Reckless' got me here . Nice fit out 👍👏

if your blinds are pure white, it can be your projector screen.

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? 👍

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)

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 !

I LOVE This!! Can’t wait to see Boris one day! X

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.

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.

So lovely including your Dad's bits in 🙏🙏🙏

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??? 😜

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.

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.

Boris!! Fantastico tu trabajo ! Is posible some measures of interiors ? Muchas gracias !!!

Would extending the cabin rearward be viable? Like a porch, to take off boots, wet coats, then have a inner slide door to get to the camper.

This is not a camper , this is a one man Home 😊👍

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?

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...

Super very good work and great video. I am also the owner of a british landy 110 (1997) in argentina. I try to do the same work. Regards

Such a great video. You’ve done great and I’m borrowing plenty of ideas. Your Dad would’ve been proud!

Great job, thank you for sharing

Hi there I love what you did with you LR%. I am sooo inspired that I would like to ask you to it to mine too. Can you.? Looking forward to hear from you.

Great build, can you tell me where you bought the 10mm silver insulation, there is lots out there but some bad reviews, yours look like it sticks really well.

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

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

great vid man.. loving the island rovers cap. but i would being from Jersey.

Version 2.0 is so much better! Where did that rear door sliding window come from?

Boris, Your setup is amazing! Where did you find the green pouche under the axe ?

Can you tell me where you got the water tank and tap from? Thanks

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?

what kind of insulation did you quit? at the beginning of the video. Looks nice.

Fantastic job I love it you’ve gave me a few different ideas thanks for sharing top job

Cleanest & usefull design i eves seen,love the details too,really good works dude ✌️

Looks amazing and I have done the same to my defender but not near as polished, fair play!! what LED light did you use for the long strip?

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!

Where did you buy the water container and faucet from? Thanks

Nice!💎✨👌Yeah that thicker insulation is so much better!✨👍 This is the ultimate stealth camper car! #Defender👑

Absolutely wonderful video! Love the defender, great work!!

Hi, What is the name off that song en artist at the end of the video? thanks for the video. It was good

Loving the videos where did you get the sliding rear window and is it in one of your videos ?

Love ur landy i saw you at Peterborough LRO show

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.

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!!

Mate….. you have done a spectacular job. I bet in a couple years you will rip it all out and refine it again …. Well done champ 👍🇦🇺🥃

special thanks to the dumbells which offered help throughout the build process!

Absolutely mint mate! Great looking build! :)

By far the best layout for the space, well thought out and it looks great. How is it on the move?

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!!

Awesome video! Has definitely inspired me to give this a go in the future!!

I love the water tank for the kitchen. Where did you get that?

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

Excellent work! The carpet is reminiscent of the one in “The Office”. I wonder, how has all the added weight reflected on the performance of the car on and off road?

Hope you have let your insurance company know. as lots of diesel heaters aren't to BS standard, self fitted may void your insurance, as may piped and carry LPG which should have a yearly certificate from a LPG Gas Safe engineer, numbered and dated and clearly signed. A mate of mine his caught fire, not sure why, but he also did his own electrics ( not being a qualified auto electrician) the insurance had a look at the burnt out LR, and it was a right off and he didn't get a penny, as it wasn't registered as a cook in, self fitted out camper with a self installed imported diesel heater and only insured as a LR, which makes a difference it seems. And he also got a large bill for the damage the fired up LR caused, think that was 15 grand which he blanked until he got a court letter. So well worth just checking out your covered for everything should it all go wrong.

Love this. Do you do this for a living?

Congratulations Boris. Love the dark color vs wood. Very cozy. I only need a bigger porcelain sink. I Subscribed

Roof top tent conversion with a Alucab tent.... that would have been the way to go.

Dude, just wow! The doors are a good touch, I did the same and haven’t regretted it, this vid is great!

Very nice job. Definitely need a 109" or 110" for this though! ;-)

Wow! wow and wow! what an absolutely beautiful job! Thank you so much for sharing, I love this so much my absolute dream :)

Should have made the big roller shade white so you can use it as a projector screen!

I've watched a lot of designs but this is the most practical and simple way of building. Great Idea

ahhhh, i think your meant to roll the insulation with a roller so that it flattens to the servfice preventing vibration and more importantly air pockets.

What a fantastic build! i'll be using this as a template for myn, thanks mate!

Very nice work and very inspiring. I'm planning to redo a few things on my DEFENDER. Can I just ask where you can get the opening window for the fifth door? Thank you very much and I wish you many successful kilometers.

Aménagement réussi 😉 le résultat est vraiment au top!

Without windows it still looks like a mancave. And why would you want to camp anywhere nice and then not see any of it?

What water 💧 holder tap is that 😊

Thanks so much. Inspirational. I learned something so special here.

Hey Boris, we should help Maria 'Roaming Reckless' make her 'POE' look as gangster like yours...lol

Love it, something similar will be my next job on the defender!

Nice job, you certainly made the most of the space.

Well done. Also thinking of using our puma. Did you think about a pop up roof.

beautiful build. I wish I could try this in my ford expedition. thank you for such a lovely video.

Awesome mate.

Nice job!! It still has that all-important “home made” feel but is really plush - but with a bit more of a clean, airy feel. Nicely done!

Hi. Can you help me by telling me where to source your water container and pump from please. I’ve looked everywhere but can’t find anything like it. Cheers

Brilliant very well done

You've took the piss with the amount of adverts boy! Nice conversion though.

Loved this what a great watch well done mate great build 👍

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.

Hi Do you need some great lighting for your car to help you better driving, off-road. We're the pro auto lighting manufacturer for nearly 20 year and we're looking for sponsorship!

Your defender is a pick up unit? The body is aluminium and it supposed to be rust free

Very Nice! Cheers from São Paulo, Brazil.

Turned out well! Subscribed!

this ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_wY4LgE59_c.html where you have find?

Where did you get your water pump from and what is the make mate. Great vid 👌

Why didn't you stain the tongue and grove before cutting and fitting it? I would have also fitted the lights as well pre fitting????

Well done very cool 👍

Looks great but no ventilation?

Subtítulos en español. Gracias.

Where are you based mate? I’ve got a series 3 I’m converting into a camper & building my own pop up roof.

Awesome 2.0 build! Happy Trails

Thanks for video! After few years spent with my Defender 110, and many interior evolutions, maybe this year I will make perfect on for us. We have roof top tent but I hate it and we prefer to sleep inside. What plywood dimensions are you using? Is it 12mm everywhere or something larger for horizontal spaces ? How many sheets of plywood have you used ? How wide is the space between kitchen and right storage containers? I've made plans for similar build to yours, but with raised section in the space where second row seats are right now.

Thank you soo much, to look what you`ve done so perfectly. Very nice work ans excellent Filmer as well. Greeting from a german Camper Friend 👌

Very Nice!!!

Nice touch that kiwi sign ;-)
