Walkthrough our 2006 Land Rover Defender 130 dual cab Td5 with GlobeCamper cabin.

OCTOBER 2021 - FOR SALE: www.DefenderGlamping.com.
(This video was made before we were planning to offer for sale)
We purchased the truck in 2015 in Cape Town as a standard pickup with 142,000km, and kitted it out for Safari. After driving through 20 African countries, in 2019 we swapped out the rooftop tent and covered pickup for a camper box from #globecamper in France.
Fully equipped Adventure 4x4, perfect for driving the Sahara, down narrow cobbled streets, over mountain passes, and thru remote wilderness exploration, with the comforts of glamping.
As of Feb 2020 we've traveled a total of 92,000km through 42 countries in Africa and Europe. Turkey is #43 and our first in Asia/Middle East.
DIMENSIONS
2.46H x 1.80W x 6.05L - 8'0"H x 5'10" x 19'10" L. We can go anywhere a van can go, including old cities with curved cobblestone streets in Morocco, Europe, and Turkey...
Fuel capacity: 78 + 55liters, with range about 1100km
Water: 75 liter tank
Electricity
- 2x 100ah gel batteries, plus driving battery
- 120watt solar panel putting it about 4.5amps
- 100 watt old panel puts out about 0.5amps
Can sit in shade for 5 days, running 2 fridges and other day-to-day consumption.
Thule awning was a great addition - somewhat helpful for shade (depends on direction of sun), and especially helpful in the rain.

I'm a Toyota guy but what a beautiful rig! Happy travels maybe I will see you out there.

[@chrisratay]

Thanks Shawn - see you out there...!

[@Shawn2ndaccount]

@@chrisratay one last thing I just subscribed to your channel anyway you can tell me where you're at? Beautiful background and want to put it on my maps.

[@chrisratay]

@@Shawn2ndaccount this was in Cappadocia, Turkey. Most people only visit for a couple of days, but it's well worth more as it's a great area to explore. Be sure to do a balloon ride as well. 👍

@@chrisratay Thank you I will mark it on my app.

Nice setup where are you the background is amazing

[@chrisratay]

That's - This was in Capadocia, Turkey, a wonderful place to visit and explore.

[@TerryManitoba]

Nice rig - great tour. What size tire are you using - Model & Brand? How long is the inside of the camper? (not including the bed part)

[@chrisratay]

Thanks Terry. If memory serves me, they're 265/75-16, General Grabbers. Very happy with them both off and on road. Exterior of box is 220cm, so interior is probably around 110cm, excluding the overhang/bed. The bed is 200cm long. The interior including the bed area is probably around 310cm long

[@ricardorodriguez7590]

I have seen globe campers online. They look awesome. Was it hard and expensive to import?

[@chrisratay]

We took the pickup truck to France and GC installed the box at their facility - it was super easy. prices are €35-40k now, plus VAT.

[@buffalo4127]

RR, did you have the camper custom built?

[@chrisratay]

GlobeCamper.com did the build and installation. We customized the interior layout.

[@MartinJHarris]

bin the spaces and use offset rims

[@chrisratay]

Spacers worked great for the nearly 95,000km I've had them. I'm happy with them.

[@luisribeiro7526]

Chris , Do you have this project with all details for sale ? I have a 130 2007 brought in brazil and I would like to do something similar locally ? Any info would be very appreciated. Thanks in advance Luis

[@chrisratay]

Hi Luis, the truck has a solid buyer and we're doing the transfer next month. Here was the info for the sale... www.DefenderGlamping.com Feel free to reach out of you have specific questions.

[@MotorideTube]

Can you tell me about added weight and gvm.

[@chrisratay]

Hey Mofera, When fully stocked with food, gear, propane, 75l water, both diesel fuel tanks (132l), and 2 of us with dog (and his stuff) we're around 3.6ton. The box itself is around 520kg

[@rschreck876]

Shit. I wish I had the upfront cash to do something like this.

[@chrisratay]

We thought the cost was worth it to us. We started years ago with motorcycles and tents/cheap hostals.

Vifaru simply put is plural Rhinos not white rhinos . Name it Kifaru or Ndovu for elephant

[@chrisratay]

Hey, thanks for your comment. The name Vifaru is from 2016 and we enjoy it. From my research back then, there seemed to be more than one option, depending on the region. Cheers.

[@theshop2545]

@@chrisratay Thankyou . Cool defender

[@mjremy2605]

You showed us very little, no cabinets opened, no outside storage opened, no wide angle lens, very frustrating tour. Talk less. Show more.

[@chrisratay]

Sorry you were disappointed. I made this video for friends who have seen plenty of random photos. If you're really curious and want to see the cabinets and storage, there more at DefenderGlamping.com Cheers.
