Cooker facing out is a good idea ime, no-one wants the smell of food inside where you sleep. 90% of camper conversions Iāve seen of any variety, if they have an internal kitchen area its usually spotless because its never been used.
People who trust what the odometers of old LRs say deserve exactly they buyā¦

The only landrover ones that do that are either on ex utilties vehicles with the roller door stowages or the old primus cookers mounted on the inside of the rear door.
Most landrover owners wonāt give a shit about food smells, hidden by oil and deisel/petrol smells

Oh yes. Iām just well down the rabbit hole. I know 0 about Land Rovers. If I could choose a spec, I wouldnt bother with a stove etc. 4 or 5 seats, Maybe a table where you can eat that folds down into a double bed, or have the bed in the pop up roof. Swing out awning on the side. When we used the caravan/tent all the cooking was done on a cadac and we always stayed on sites with nice wash/toilet facilities. Soft core camping ftw.

I owned a 110 hard-top - I loved the stupid thing, and being a 5MB diesel it was stupidly reliable, eternally-drippy bits notwithstanding.
I did a very primitive fit-out in the back which comprised a wooden support for a mattress, a bit of storage, and some extra ventilators to try to improve the whole waking-up to indoor showers of condensation thing.
As a space to live in it was hilariously inadequate - Iām only 5ā10" and still couldnāt stretch out, and when I sat-up Iād bang my head on the roof.
Obviously roof extensions and awnings help, but itās gonna need some clever ideas to make it all workable.
Still cool AF mind

Not exactly - for the win, your vehicle needs to be parked outside a luxury mobile with air-con in the Sth of France or Italy.

No, exactly. I meant going by plane and driving to the campsite in a hire car 
I prefer Belgium tbh 
ā¦better beer and chocolate, less sun. Each to his own. 
Drove an Austin Champ to Istanbul and back. With 3 other drivers, admittedly, and we were a lot younger then.

I glad I didnāt have to pay for the petrol 
Some of them had a Rolls Royce multifuel engine, could run on paraffin as well as petrol.
Eastern block 87 octane was fairly cheap back then. We worked on a hop farm to pay for the trip.

My father worked in the stores at a TA many years ago and used to drive one, 4 litre RR engine iirc, he reckoned it returned around 8 mpg.
Think it was a 2.8L RR. The āinterestingā thing was reverse gear - or not. A transfer box simply reversed rotation, giving equal forward and reverse gearings and speeds. We got to 40mph in reverse on a beach in Yugoslavia before bottling out.

Early examples of the K11 Nissan Micra fitted with CVT transmissions had no inhibter for reverse which meant they could technically do 91mph in either direction.
