Thread: Slide-on camper for dual-cab Defender

You can get a few ideas here:
Adventure Camping and Off Road Trailers - Traytop - Ute Mounted Camper
Candy Canvas :: Dual Cab
Trayon Campers
Piggy Back Campers
Dual Cab 'Tray Topper' camper trailer - by Outback Campers
Heaslip Campers Welcome to Heaslip Campers
My personal favourites would be the CandyCanvas or the OutbackCampers

Cannot help with the slide on camper and I think MTB covered it well but I found this 130 at British Offroad.Not sure if your after a 300tdi td5 or Puma but this looks real good and they sell quality cars with warranty.

Sorry to take it off topic but thought you may be interested as I was till the boss said No to selling the 110.

Does anybody know of good brands I can check out either to buy or get ideas from?

Hey mate,

It's all making sense now.

You probably already have but just check out the child restraint issue in the 130's. It seems it is a bit more of a challenge than in the 110. We have just had a bub and it is one of the reasons for us going for the 110 now.

Hmmm... to be feasible, I reckon it might be better to find a drop-side tray rather than a tub. Bugger all on the market - wonder how much to replace a tub with a tray? I'll ask in the Pinnacles.

I've got a Trayon. Extremely happy with it thus far.

PUMA goes camping...

There are people that would like to use a tub to make a trailer so you will get some money for it

like me, i just started looking for a tub today to make a trailer out of

After a bit of searching around, I think I might end up getting a box built. A lot of the tray campers don't fit my requirements, in that they incorporate a kitch/living area inside them.

What I'm after is a box that simply stores all my camping stuff, possibly with a pull out kitchen to use under and awning, and legs to make it self-standing, with a tent on top.

I figure it may be cheaper to design one myself or find a basic box unit, and fit it out to my liking.
