This week we remove the roof from our ex fire truck Land Rover defender so that we can add the alu cab roof conversion on top. This will give us so much more space in our DIY camper van build, essentially adding a pop top as our "upstairs" bedroom.
A massive thanks to Brownbird and company for all the help with this one, these guys have this down to a fine art and if your looking to get one fitted on your own defender then you can find them here brownbirdandcompany.co.uk/?srsltid=AfmBOoppqfEMVM2ROpDgb4Ubo8il1xCumY8MIufuczMwb6ZvMsmMWf_c
Would love to know what you think of it, and our choice to go with the white?

Hopefully you are enjoying this renovation series as much as we are, and we are managing to show you just some of the trials, tribulations, and work, involved when restoring an old traditional cottage AND building an off grid cabin to live in whilst we do!
As usual, we have tried to include a bit of everything, including the local wildlife and nature mixed with our usual female foolery, we always love hearing what you lot think in the comments so do let us know, and as always, thank you for watching!
Check out our older videos and follow our us journey attempting to create a proper youtube travel series as we, two female travelers and vanlifers, attempted to travel across Europe in our rolling tiny home with our dog and cat.
