VEHICLESANDGEAR

When driving a Defender, its thirst for adventure will soon spread and you will love the feeling of freedom and excitement of discovering what’s around the next corner.

Renting a fully equipped LandyCamper you will get:

A highly maintained classic Land Rover Camper, either Defender 90 (2000) for solo travellers or two people or Defender 110 (2001) for up to 6 people, or those bringing doggies!

Award-winning Thule Approach rooftop tents - new for 2024 and unique to LandyCampers, these tents are spacious, comfortable, quick to set up, and tested to their limits by the world-renowned Swedish manufacturer, offering panoramic views and built-in durability for an elevated camping experience

Unique to LandyCampers, the Thule Outset Towbar Tent is now available as an extra, offering additional sleeping quarters for up to 3 at ground level. Mounted to the towbar, and detachable when set up, this award-winning tent brings the best of Thule's rooftents without the need to climb

All vehicles have a 5 gear manual transmission and a 2.5-litre TD5 engine and high profile all-terrain tyres, uprated brakes, and suspension for excellent drivability and safety even when fully laden

While Land Rover has always kept the interior concept of the Defender simple and utilitarian with hardly any switches or electronics, our vehicles come with an upgraded, customised cockpit including an Android Auto / Apple CarPlay based infotainment system, and many mechanical upgrades for more comfort and safety while driving

Our Landys have great visibility thanks to the high driving position and unobstructed rear and side windows for easier and safer driving and manoeuvring, along with all round upgraded high power Vision-X Vortex headlights and LED auxiliary lights for safer night driving

A customised rear of the vehicle fits a smart storage system that grants easy access to and safe, space-saving stowing of the camping equipment and luggage

A small inside lounge in the rear (only to be used when vehicle is stationary) for some more privacy when relaxing or when the weather is really letting you down

Not only a top quality rooftent and awning, but state of the art, innovative equipment for a sustainable experience that’s fully included in the rental charge, like a solar panel, battery generator and fridge

Comfy, freshly laundered bedding inside the tent, ready as soon as you unfold! Duvets or sleeping bags, dependant on preference & weather, and pillows, sheets etc

Convenient pick-up and drop off location just north of London, close to Stansted Airport, with secure parking onsite for your own vehicle

We will give you a thorough introduction to the vehicle, its driving behaviour and its equipment upon pick-up.

OUR LANDYS

OURLANDYS

Traveling Companion, n., / kəm-ˈpan-yən /, a capable Land Rover Defender that takes you anywhere, carries all your stuff and has a bed ready for you

The Land Rover Defender: Some call it the most timeless, iconic and beloved vehicle ever made, for Ben Fogle it’s “as quintessentially British as a plate of fish and chips” and for us it simply is the perfect travel buddy. Its unique simplicity, capability and versatility make it a joy to drive off the beaten track, on winding country roads and rougher surfaces.

Since its production originally started in 1948, the original Series Land Rover has always been a trail-blazer for every SUV that has come along. But did Land Rover’s chief engineer sketch his first original design into the red sand on an Anglesey beach in 1947? Is it true that, due to its use for colonial overland expeditions, a boxy Land Rover is, for more than half the world's population, the first vehicle that ever saw? And what is it about that notorious ‘Defender wave’ amongst Landy drivers?

WAFFLE

Defender 90 for two people

Our classic grey Defender 90, manufactured in 2000, is the perfect companion for any solo adventurer or up to two people travelling together. Waffle is sturdy and rugged, but easy to drive and manoeuvre thanks to the shorter wheelbase. The Thule rooftent comfortably fits two people while there is enough space in the converted back to have dinner inside if the weather lets you down.

FERN

Defender 110 for up to six people

Fern is our lovely green Defender 110 from 2001. Highly original inside and out, her looks are as majestic as she is capable of tackling any terrain. Fern is fitted with two Thule rooftents and a 270 degree awning to sleep 6, while offering loads of space for equipment and luggage in the converted back.
