Fitting an Alu-Cab Icarus Roof and Shadow Awn: Land Rover Defender Camper Build Part 1

Описание: We are on a mission to turn our Land Rover Defender into our ultimate off-road, off-grid tiny home on wheels. In this first part of the conversion we install an Alu-Cab Icarus roof and 270 degree bat wing shadow awning, completely transforming the space inside and outside the vehicle. Find out how easy (or not) it is to save £1,500 installing it yourself and whether we think the hefty price tag that comes with these bits of kit is really worth it.
