Land Rover Discovery as a campervan??

See Dormobile Landrover

Hi Amandasattic,

I used to belong to the Dormobile owners Club and there was a lot of raising roof Land rovers made by Dormobile. The factory closed in the 1980, but the name was brought back by a few members that started to build on Land rovers again. There is a 2012 price list on the internet but its' not cheap.If you look at the old club Land rovers they command a high price as do the New conversions. good luck

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone has ever seen or has converted a Land Rover Discovery into a campervan? We have an 04 Discovery and was thinking about selling it to buy a van to convert into a small campervan, but then I thought why can't I covert the Discovery as there is loads of boot space and is quite room in the back once the back seats are out? It is just a small van I need for me, the other half and our crazy cocker spaniel. I don't really want to part with the Discovery as it is a great car for getting out of sticky situations (and can't really afford to sell it as don't have a lot of spare £20 notes lying around at the moment).

Any thoughts or advice would be fab

Kind regards
Amanda

Could you modify a small trailer tent to fit on roof rack??

worth doing a search on some of the landrover forums...the platform in the back of a disco or 110 is not rare. i presume 2oo4 disco is a disco 2 td5, they are a couple of inches longer in the boot than the older disco 1. there was a tread on landyzone recently, a guy used some old school table frames to make a platform over the folded rear seat and boot , with legs down to the floor behind the front seats. one table accross the rear and two lengthways in front, cut the legs to right length and floor the frame with plywood , with a folding bit at the front to fold forward to give a fwe extra inches with the front seats right forward. was a neat solution for minimal outlay , with storage room under the platform in the boot area, and easily fitted and removed in minutes.

Thanks everyone for all your advice

Just to say a big 'Thank You' for all your advice. Will definately keep the Land Rover and will get a roof tent. I used to have touring caravan (which I loved to bits), but we are moving into a small flat soon with no parking so have no-where to store a caravan. A roof tent is just the ticket - will start teaching our spaniel to climb ladders (he is a very clever boy!!)
