MOB993, what you've done looks good. I don't need a bed and was only going to do one side, but the units you've fitted are just what I had in mind. I also found a video on You Tube which is pretty impressive Landrover conversion, fit-out, to Campervan - YouTube

That video was what inspired my build. I'm still working on the units and fitting the sliding doors at the minute. If you intend on sleeping in it insulation is a must. I haven't slept in the 110 but apparently condensation can be very bad. Insulating is my next task.
Have a look at expedition portal there is plenty of examples of campers on there not just land rover though.

I am going to insulate mine as a first step to making a camper but can't decide how to do it. My main worry is whatever I use will get wet and then just get mouldy. Currently thinking of using this stuff.

I'm going to put the insulation all over roof and sides then put ply over the sides and just some kind of carpet over the roof. Ply on the sides will be useful for hanging stuff, making shelves and resist knocks from when I put bikes in the back. I shouldn't need to hang anything on the roof so the carpet will be fine, will avoid having to bend ply round the corners too.
Fair enough. I have never tried bending ply before but if you did it in reasonably narrow sections it might not be too hard.
I'm going to use ply stiffened with battens to fill up the space above the bulkhead behind the seats, like a dog guard. This will mean the rear is sealed off from the windscreen/front doors which will help keep it warmer. Also I will be able to screw shelves or hooks or whatever onto it. AND it might help a bit in a crash, stop all the crap I keep in the back from smashing into me.

I think I'm actually going to go for camping mats instead of the thermawrap stuff. THermawrap is only meant to reflect heat (i.e behind radiators) so needs an air gap. Camping mats are designed to be sandwiched (between person and ground) so might work better. I doubt there's much in it really. As you're using ply you might be alright as that would give an air gap, my carpet won't.
Currently putting some flashband in to dull some of the droning.
