SECOND HAND SPARE WHEEL CARRIER GOING ON THE DEFENDER (Scotland Prep)
In this video I have purchased a second hand spare wheel carrier off Facebook Market place, which I believe to be Mantec one but unsure.
In the video I strip the wheel carrier down and grease up the pivot points and also have to drill hole in a perfectly good peace of my Landy.
I never claim to be a mechanic and have never fitter a spear wheel carrier before, so I'm working it out as I go.
I hope you enjoy this video.

    I've got a MaxxRaxx - 5 bike version. Used it for many years with our D3, with an adaptor that went on to a swan neck tow ball (rather than the back plate you have). You can (could) buy various adapter plates. There was also a version that you had a bend in the upright, to cater for rear spare wheel. They are designed to be able to pivot down in order to allow boot to open: if you remove the upper pin (at the bottom), then the whole will pivot away from the car. The bottom of the square section vertical part should have a 45 degree end, which will limit the extent of the pivot. Ours also has a ratchet strap that runs over the cradles and clamps the top tubes securely. It's been fine with my fancy carbon road bikes We also have two sway straps, that should be used to connect the end of the rack to the top of a tailgate (or the rack / top gutter on a defender). It does really help lock everything up solid, rather than rattling about. Especially when lots of bikes on the back, ie weight.

    You could do with a couple of Anker Battery banks and a power station with solar. It depends on the weather but when I camped in Aberderon, Wales I ran a 12v compressor fridge for 4 days with some solar, temps were coldish though and in a hot vehicle a fridge will hammer the battery as the compressor cycles more often. If you need any input or advice on a power station I would be happy to help if I can.

    Get yourself a step ladder that fits on your roof rack. It makes the unzipping and folding up a lot easier. Also, add a length of light rope to the zipper. Your sleeping gear, pillows etc can be folded up in the tent provided the tent is aired and dry. After a few trips away it won’t take long to raise and lower the tent. However, NEVER forget to dry it out or it will get mildewed and be very unpleasant. Enjoy. 👍🏻🙏🦘
