Hi all I'm just wondering if anyone has any pics and information on these land rovers I picked up a 5th wheel set up that come off one and thinking about building my 110 into a 5th camper

That is dead cool ....

Yep used to be one at ascot race course.

appeared to be a normal LR but with a 5th wheel on the chassis on a frame and air brake hook ups was cool tbh

It was used to tow the starting blocks around...not sure if it was road legal for towing though but was driven between courses...

I believe it was race tech who had them built but can't find much on them I have the full air set as well so hopefully can build my 110 similar to them

I rember the first write up in the mags meant what they could tow on the road which was the starting blocks.

Guess it would depend. Not sure if you can get them replated, else they would be subject to the standard vehicles max rear axle weight, gross vehicle weight and tow rating.

I’d also suggest as it is such a major modification that isn’t type approved some kind of inspection and specific insurance would also be advised.

I have look it up but can't find anything but I belive they where built by land rover special vehicles

Have a look on a few of the caravan forums, I believe they like to call the larger ones fifth wheels?

If its on air it'll be able to tow 4 ton rather than the 3500kg.

I'm building it into a overland 5th wheel camper using 2 mk3 sankey wide tracks as the base for the trailer
