Our goal whilst designing and building our first Land Rover Defender was to create a campervan suitable for 4x4 adventures, overlanding and as a luxurious day to day vehicle.

At Brown Bird & Co we’ve always believed that adventure and luxury belong together. It’s this philosophy that has guided us in every project, and now, we are thrilled to unveil our latest creation in January 2025, Skafta our first Land Rover Defender Campervan. This isn’t just a campervan—it’s a statement of craftsmanship, individuality, and the spirit of exploration.

Whether you’re chasing horizons or settling into a peaceful woodland escape, this campervan ensures that every journey is as remarkable as the destination.

We’re excited to bring our distinctive approach to a new canvas, and we can’t wait for you to experience it. To learn more or discuss your own conversion project get in touch with the team today.

We can also help source vehicles and our workshop is located next door to one of Yorkshires best known Land Rover Specialists so we can help with any mechanical upgrades with your vehicle too.

Luxury and adventure, crafted together in Yorkshire. Let’s start your journey.

During the day you can relax on the sofa without putting up the pop-top, or if the weather is too windy. You can use her low level kitchen, hob, fridge and utilities.

With the pop-top up and ceiling raised the internal head height is over 2.2m!

We've made the Skafta design to be highly practical, she has a porta loo and top loading hidden fridge. Her heating controller is also easily accessible whilst still in bed.

Our Skafta design is truely unique. It can be adapted for similar sized 4x4 vehicles too.

KITCHEN

Full size hand made kitchen and drawers with beautiful live edge Pippy Oak worktop and splashback. Custom made powder coated sink and copper tap with electric pump. Top loading Ventrifrigo fridge set into the worktop with inset brass handle. Induction hob and oak and copper shelf.

SEATING / BED AREA

Beautiful camel coloured sofa that can be converted into another bed when the weather and wind is too strong for the pop-top to be raised. Storage is under the sofa and additional storage behind the sofa back.

POP-TOP AND MAIN BED

Standard low-profile pop-tops can be fitted. The upgraded Alu-Cab roof conversion transforms your Land Rover Defender 110 into a functional living space for 2. The pop-top design creates extra vertical space, providing enough headroom to stand comfortably within the vehicle when bed is elevated. Lowered it creates a comfortable bed that is 2.4m long by 1.25m wide. Equipped with ceiling lights, reading lights and 4 USB/USBc ports.

STORAGE

Generous sized upper storage cabinets with solid oak doors, knurled brass door handles, soft close hinges and heavy duty magnets. Under sofa and additional storage behind the sofa back. Several drawers in the full length side unit. Bedding is permanently kept up in the pop-top (Alu-Cab) Upper shelf above the windscreen in the cab. Weather proof storage crates can be added onto the roof rack of the camper if fitted. Long storage compartment for camping chairs or shoes. Additional storage can be mounted onto the side of the vehicle too.

HEATING

Autoterm diesel heater house beneath the cubby box in the cab. Comes with a digital thermostat controller. You can also use the timer so you can wake up to it being warm or come back from a day out to a warm van! The heating is vented into the living arear and up into the pop-top.

LIGHTING

Handmade copper lights throughout and custom made CNC feature lighting. Oak feature LED lighting along the length of the main camper wall.

INSULATION & VENTILATION

Insulation is incredibly important to keep a camper warm in winter and cool in summer as well as reducing condensation in the living space. We use Celotex 25 and 50mm foam board, spray foam in the tricky to reach spots, earth wool and vapour barrier. Pop-top windows can be unzipped for ventilation.

EXTERNAL & SECURITY UPGRADES

We offer several options to transform the exterior of your camper. Including roof racks, tree sliders, rear steps, storage equipment, Maxx Traxs, mechanical and rescue equipment, winch, spot lights and LED light bars, alloys, all terrain tyres, wheel holders, mobile internet and many more options listed below.

We also assist with several security enhancements to your vehicle including swivel steering wheel, hinge upgrades so doors and bonnet cannot be removed, trackers and immobilisers which are Thatcham rated.

Please note we do have to make sure that your build does not become over weight. Every component and additional upgrade will add weight to your campervan. We have to balance design, functionality and additional kit to make sure your campervan has enough payload left for passengers, water, food and belongings etc. Please carefully think about what you require in your build, we are here to help offer advice on this.
