Noob needs buying advice

Hi fellow forumites !

I'm new to the forum and would like to pick your brains for advice please. My good lady and I want to by a used Landy - Most likely this will be a defender as, in the main, we want it to transport bikes, camping gear, wood, wellies etc rather than using our car - which normally looks like a skip outside a fire damaged Millets !

We also thought that it may be possible on occassion to jump in with some of said gear and stick a blow up mattress in the back rather than setting up a tent - so, (at last !) here is the question - are 90's or 110's big enough in the back to sleep in ? I don't mind removing the second row of seats in a 110 County as it's probably a station wagon we would go for rather than solid sides.

A dormobile would be great but expensive and we dont need that kind of functionality all the time.

Best thing i suppose is to go and see some and have a lie down inside but as with most of us time is limited !

Looking forward to your expert opinions !

Regards

Craig

Generally they make rubbish dogging wagons, as the load bay is too small with the seats up in a station wagon and van sides aren't much better as no-one can see what yer up to

Good for picking up wood and towing trailers though...

Yes there is room to sleep in a 110csw. You can buy reclining sleeper seat kits for em too but they are bloody pricey.

Or just chuck a sheet of ply across the top of the seats and stick your airbed on top of it.

no court in the land would convict him just because he had his keys with him

Having his keys aparently proved he had an intention to drive his vehicle, i thought he was taking the mick when he told me, but it was genuine. proves what a mad place we all live in.

the times we live in ey. bloody ridiculous
