Do you sleep in your Defender 110?

Has changed a little now, the fridge fits in a hole behind the passenger seat. I'll be raising the floor at some stage so its all level with the fridge. There's enough room in there to roll out a swag, I'm 6'1 and fit diagonally.

Plenty of storage under the floor, very solid and has the added advantage it takes about 10 minutes to strip it all out so you have a bare body to cart big stuff or clean all the dirt out after your big trip

I like the idea of this.
Do the sheets and planks bounce up and down on rough roads, or are they anchored down somehow?

Hey mate

The cross braces are retained by bits of aluminium angle, hence they can't slide backwards and forwards. The sheeting has been cut in to suit the shape of the body and with the added weight of the rubber mat, swag, camping boxes and other gear on top it's a pretty big bump to make it move, and if it does it's just a case of bouncing it back in to place

Simple as....wife and son snug as bugs, mosquito/snake netting under a tarp. Good enough in Malaysian jungle. No one here (with any brains) fits stuff like RTTs on the roof, not even roof racks for gear. The jungle pinstripes and gouges on my roof explain why.

Hi Jock,

Anymore photos or detail about the cages behind the seats? That is exactly what i want to do.

And are they speakers up the top??

Cheers

Steel tray is pretty good in a swag. Looking to get a canopy to keep the rain off and the mossies out. Lots of room. :D

Canopy? :p

I just use a couple of shovel handles with large rubber stoppers on the ends as tent poles that get slotted into the holes in the rear of the tub (intended for canopy). Then rope the tarp up over that (mozzie/snake net goes over first, then tarp). Keeps even monsoon rain off the tray/tub.

Tarp is rigged far enough forward to allow access to the rear cabin doors under it so as to not get wet when it rains. There is enough space for a small fire pit under cover, or if it's way too wet for that, with bedding rolled back the tailgate makes a good bench for preparing food and placing the small two burner gas stove. Tarp over poles allows more than head height standing room.
