The real problem is condensation. I've slept on a board in the back of a 109 (cold), in the boot of three discos (200, 300 and D2) - had to go diagonal as I'm 5'10 - in the front of the D2 (uncomfortable) and in the back seat of the D2 (surprisingly comfy). Haven't tried it in the Freelanders though. Best one is my friend's IIa 109 Dormobile conversion, which is ace, although still not too well insulated.
Generally speaking LR are not fantastic campers though. Best was my Sherpa white van, with full insulation, carpet on the ceiling, captain's chair and a full-width bed in the back. I even rigged up curtains and a cooker. Would sleep four at a pinch - three on the bed and one underneath. Unfortunately being a Sherpa it got a bit unreliable. Ended its life as the CO's field accommodation in our cadet unit until the engine blew. And I once slept for a week in the back of a Minivan with all my belongings, but I was a student then so too drunk to care.
