Land Rover Defender. My Converted Off-Grid Vehicle for Outdoor Adventure. Poweroak AC50 Power Unit.
In this video, I present to you my chosen vehicle for outdoors adventure. My trusty (not so trusty) Land Rover Defender, converted for off grid vehicle based camping and a rugged work horse to get me and my gear across all terrains.
Old Land Rovers are not renowned for their reliability and this old girl is no acceptation. However, the beauty about the simple design and old time mechanical engineering, makes it ideal for overland adventure as it can easily be fixed in the field with just a few basic tools and a big hammer.
I have had several old Land Rovers over the years and I absolutely love them (when I’m not busy hating them). Once bitten, forever smitten.
It is a lot of fun, can go almost anywhere, has a huge payload, pulls like a train even with a heavy trailer in tow, and is robust.
I made a simple conversion to my Land Rover - some storage cupboards, a simple method of cooking, an off-grid power system and a comfortable place to sleep - it might not be all .
‘bells and whistles’ but it works for me.
The cost of the conversion was very low as I used cheap shuttering ply and recycled scaffold boards for the cupboard units, made handles from foraged twigs and used up-cycled materials wherever I could, even the worktops were made from a recycled table top.The lining carpet and adhesive was the most expensive material in the whole build.
I hope you enjoy the video.
Thanks for watching!
