FUN ROVER STORAGE

Land Rovers have been converted into hovercrafts, trains and even promotional vehicles to be 'driven' by elephants. More commonly Land Rovers are converted to expedition campers, capable of travelling way out into the wilds of a country whilst offering a space to sleep and limited home comforts.

But Safari Suites Ltd have produced something very special.

Essentially, it is an entire room stowed within the Land Rover. This room features a bed, proper clothes storage and even a veranda! Not only can you spend your nights dozing on a full size double bed, you have power, running water and a wrought iron spiral staircase to traverse to the upper level.

The bathroom is quite a step-up from a composting toilet - the walls are wood clad and it houses a full size bath. Just because you're out in the wilderness doesn't mean you should have to wait for hours to fill your bath - no this tub fills in 4 minutes, pumped directly from the 1000L onboard storage tank. You can travel quite a way before you begin to run out of water!
