Sleeping in new defender
Thought I'd share my quick hack on how to fit two people bed in the trunk of 110.
I was initially quite bumped when I realised defender seats don't fold 100% flat like they did in my disco 3.. but all in all I'm pretty happy now, this setup leaves some room for stowing away smaller bags and other things not needed over night. I used laminated plywood, it's very strong even when quite thin and not too heavy. Matresses are from IKEA (of course) - foldable version called SLÄKT, two of them fit quite perfect at ~2 meter length and ~60cm width. Side widndow ventilation panels are from Nakatanenga, work perfect. So girls now sleep down below and grownups up top :).

Great setup, I'm a big fan of the Nakatanenga vents, they fit great and work brilliantly for car camping:thumbsup:

Ingenious setup to get some extra length from your loadspace. You may want to investigate an air mattress like Klymit. it packs up very small and inflates easily and quickly. I've got one and it's surprisingly comfortable.

130 with the 5 Seat Setup would be perfect for sleeping in I think.

Very nice!
I have been following this guy in South Korea has many youtube videos of camping inside his defender: |
Nice ideas for the camping subset, but I’m not sure I understand the OP’s comment about the seats not folding flat. The seats in my 110 fold quite flat, thank you. I almost bought a Porsche Macan two years before the Defender even came out, but walked when the salesperson folded the seats down and the ramp effect turned me off. And that was my only gripe with my Evoque when I first bought it, the inability for the seats to lay flat. Unless I’m missing something, but it seems to me that the floor in my 2022 Defender 110 lies flat enough to sleep in or haul gear of any type.

I think it's all about the rear seat cushion. Since it sticks up, it's difficult to use the entire loadspace deck all the way to the front seat. This solution gives an extra foot or so of usable sleeping space.
