Hi All,

I'm new to the forum and I'd like to show you my little Freelander Camping Car project. I spent a few weeks modifying it so I'd be able to camp in the back when I'm travelling around Europe. I've spent around a month sleeping in the back, it's surprisingly comfortable!

In addition to the pictures I've added:

• Internal electronic door release button (Little red button you can see on the back door).
• 12v to 5v USB for my GoPro wired in from the sunshade light conection.
• Insulation in the rear panels for increased warmth and to cut down on road noise.
• All internal lighting bulbs replaced with LED's

Bed base with storage underneath:

LED Lighting in the headlining:

230v inverter and leisure battery :

Limo tint on the back windows (I have insulated sunshades in the front for privacy when camping):

I'd love to know what you think and maybe get some suggestions for further modifications.

Cheers,
Andy

That looks like a pretty functional vehicle, and achieved at a moderate cost, I should think!

Well done, good inventiveness!

Thanks! I'd say it cost me around £300 for everything.

That would be one of the cheaper camper conversions around!

That'd great I have considered making mine into one but something that could be taken out and fits over seats when folded .
And possibly a cooker that folds flat on inside of rear door .
that boot trim removed would give enough space its ridiculously wide.
