Our Vehicles
Our vehicles come fully equipped and camp-ready and you can hire our brilliant Prairie Tent from Dave Ellis Tents of Colorado (pictured) if you need more sleeping space than the two-person roof tents. Our range of add-ons include a motorcycle trailer, bike rack, awning sides and portable toilet.
Pick up your vehicle from us (we are located minutes off J13 of the M1) or let us deliver a vehicle to your choice of location. If you are flying to the UK we can deliver/collect a vehicle to/from most UK airports. Extra charges apply (contact us to discuss). See our Pick up and Return information.
Explore and Discover
Our vehicles are equipped to a very high standard with quality equipment chosen for its simplicity, practicality and durability.
Vehicle shown is Defender 110. All equipment shown is also fitted to our Defender 90.

Wrap-around awning
Create a base camp in 90 seconds by deploying a Bat 270 awning that wraps around the vehicle. Adjustable support legs ensure you can set-up on the most uneven of ground.
Add our optional awning sides to create an amazing large enclosed space around your vehicle.
Stealth Roof Tent
Sleep sound off the ground in a top of the range roof tent with 3” mattress, interior light, USB charger and mesh screen windows. An aerodynamic aluminium shell reduces wind noise, protects you from the elements and allows bedding to be stored inside whilst driving. We supply mattress protector and top sheet. Fast and simple to deploy and takedown.
Camp Lights
No need to fumble to light up camp as our vehicles have permanent external camp lights. Low heat LEDS with yellow anti glare lenses attract fewer bugs and 3 power levels allow you to select the right amount of light.
LED Upgrades
Our vehicles have TruckLite LED light upgrades all round, with the headlights producing a pure white light that offers hugely improved road and verge coverage. Polycarbonate lenses improve protection against impact from road debris.
LED Lazer Bar
See more, go safer. Finding your perfect camping spot at night is easy with a roof mounted Lazer ST6 Evolution LED light bar that will light up your world. Unbreakable lenses protect against debris. Operated off a dash mounted switch.
Roof Ladder
A rear ladder provides a secure and safe handhold and foothold when opening or closing the roof tent. Please note the roof tent itself is accessed by its own ladder stored under the roof rack.
Corner Bumperettes
Heavy duty bumperettes in 6mm steel provide a secure and safe foothold when opening or closing the roof tent and improve vehicle protection at the rear.
Under the Bonnet
With a rugged and vocal 2.2 litre turbo diesel engine our vehicles have plenty of grunty low-down torque, six-speed manual transmission (high and low range) and a heavy-duty four-wheel drive system.
In the Cab
Tracing its roots back to the original 1948 Land Rover concept our Defenders are a different experience to modern cars. But with air-con, heated windscreen, heated front seats, and electric front windows you’ll be warm and cosy in winter and cool in summer.
Drawer System
A full length heavy duty drawer that organises and securely contains kit and equipment including kitchen utensils, cutlery, crockery, glasses, lashing straps, safety gear, First Aid kit, kettle and mini stove (a cooking stove is supplied also). The drawer creates a level surface across the full rear bay, with multiple lashing points.
Dual Battery System
Going off grid for days at a time is no problem as our vehicles are equipped with National Luna’s compact, fully-automated split-isolator power pack that piggy-backs off the vehicle’s main battery. Self contained, safe and simple.
Gear Junkie
Partner Steel Stove
As used by river guides in Colorado – 2 or 4 burner with stand, windshield and propane.
