Camel Trophy 110
« on: July 30, 2008, 21:05:53 »
Has any one got any detailed photos of the exterior and more importantly the interior of the camel trophy 110's. I am looking at building a similar vehicle for overland adventures and I am struggling to find out just how the interior was layed out.

Cheers.

in the back from memory there where millions of cubby holes ( but i might be wrong )

if your not looking for a replica then dont copy the camel design i would say think about what you need to take and then build/buy suitable storage sections in the back of your 110,
bear in mind you may well be tired so build the cab to be as easily usable as possible, second battery and exteriour camping LED's are good plus dont kill your battery, im tempted by one of those material pull out shelters

cheers, hope ive been of some sort of help,  :lol:

You have mate,

I am actually sort of going to base it on what the guys form the camel trophy club have turned theirs into now, my mate has one and I have loved it ever since he got it, but I didnt pay any attention to the interior and now he is in spain for a few months......

I plan to replicate the camel 110's as a starting point and then go from there, and yep, an awning, second battery and exterior LED lighting is already on my list. I seem to remeber my mates having all sorts of clever racking in the back wich was handy for storage and I cant remeber any detais about the front of the cab aty all........

personally id plan out a switch board aswell, to keep all your new features switches in one place so the driver and passenger can use, the best place for this is above the radio or centre dials depending on what you have installed an a out side switch for the outside camping lights so you can turn them off without going in the vcehicle

what sort of overlanding you looking at doing?

i could be my firend, the photo was taken in a turkish town near the iranian boarder and it was when i worked for a overland company and we had to fill our 600 lts water tanks up and the only place that could do it was the local fire station, so while the tanks were filling we had the you sit in my truck pictures and i will sit in yours.

Strange, i went to turkey a few years ago and met up with a guy selling coka cola from a D series, no down pipe just the manifold, no lights what so ever, still going strong, good old trucks, would love to build one as a recovery truck, i used to drive a 6x4 D series at the ford garge i worked at, V8 cummins engine it was great, would pull your house down,
