Landrover Stealth Camper
|
Ever since I was little I have
enjoyed caravanning, but some years ago it became no
longer practicable for me to do and I ended up parting
with a rotting van that was only using up space and
costing me to rent it.
At one time
in my youth I had dreamed about building a caravan, but
at that time it was no more than an idle dream
considering I could not even drive at the time.
However
anxious not to give up the joys of caravanning forever
and having aquired a landrover, I decided it was time to
make such dreams reality.
I did not
draw up any plans, I concieved the whole idea in my head
and have proceeded on a piecemeal basis seeing what
worked and what did not.

Having found a caravan breakers I
got a mattress to experiment with, this is my first
arrangement, leaving the second row seats in place and
simply putting it all over the top. It did not work out
very well so I abandoned it.

I built a framework to hold a sink
on the other side and also added a cooker from the
caravan breakers. The strong box is still part of the
arrangements to keep my cameras safe.

| Over time I have made improvements using
chequerplate aluminium to box things in. |

I reversed the middle second row
seat and used it to conceal a porta potti underneath
which lifts out for use

|
| |
|
| I added further storage under the seats (RH

This is how the bed arrangement
currently works, this was at an early stage before I had
fully boxed things in

Current Kitchen arrangements, not

Looking toward the front, a pull
down blind is concealed beneath the pelmet which also
provides a handy shelf. There will be more alterations as
time proceeds

More cupboards recently added. Note
the carpet tiles used as insulation, you can see how they
are fixed to battens here
