Maartin Schot’s IIB Camper.

This camper conversion belongs to Maartin Schot from the Netherlands, here’s what he has to say about it.

my chassis no is 33100001A, but I got it without engine and transmission. I

attached some photo's of my IIB with my IIa 88", a picture of my IIB on a

trailer on the way from Portugal (where it had been stood for more than 8 years)

to The Netherlands, and some pictures taken a the Dutch Land Rover Sort-out. I'm

driving to some deep ruts there, which kept some Defenders standing...

I did up the IIB during 2 years, and it's currently fitted with the Nissan

Patrol Sd33 diesel engine and 'box, and a 24v electric system. This came from

the tow car I used to get it from Portugal. That was a quite eventful journey,

plodding along at 55 km/h on the motorway.

It was in use with a company named Bates Sound, and I believe in use as a kind

of mobile radio vehicle for events etc. Currently I'm fitting it out as a

camper. I took it on trips to the Champagne area and to Portugal. The wind noise

is quite something, and side winds affect it quite badly, but it makes a nice

vehicle to camp in. It does a steady 90 km/h on the motorway. I try to keep the

vehicle in a period, as opposed to original state. The clatter from the diesel

engine certainly helps, it's no refined turbodiesel.
