And this week... 🥁 Nicolas will introduce you to Albatross A.k.A Albo. Who’s Albo? For those who missed it: Albo is our Land Rover Defender 110 💥. That same Albo that is going to to bring us around the world for 3 years. 🌎🌏🌍
But this video for us is more than presenting you a simple car. Why? Because for us it is more like touring our future home. 🚘🔜🏠And that’s how we picked Albo: so it provides what we would need to be able to consider it our home. Thinking about it, we have moved houses multiple times in the past years that it could actually be the place where we end up living for the longest without interruption !
Our criteria list ? A place to stay warm when it’s cold, a roof over our heads when it rains, some shade when sun burns, a cold shower once in a while, enough fuel and water containers to travel far and beyond and maybe a plug or two to charge our phones 📱(#90skids 🙋🏼🙋🏼♀️). Albo is some sort of a condensed version of what of real house could provide. A kind of Swiss knife in fact !
So enjoy the tour and welcome home - Share some love and ideas in comments to help us make it optimal for our project !
🛎 This episode is sponsored by our frozen fingers sacrificed to get you this nice snowy scenery for the car visit. 🥶

Join us as we travel the world on an expedition throughout the 7 continents, meeting new people, exploring cultures and traditions and making friends along the way.
We are traveling in our Land Rover Defender 110 which is our full time home for the next 3 years as we explore this beautiful planet.

Thank you 🙏 home is where we park it 😊
Hello Next Meridian! I started watching you when you met Ewa. Since I am caught up on your current videos, I have gone back to the beginning and really am amazed and impressed! Thank you so much and I am really looking forward to seeing all your videos!
we see this comment at the same time as the other. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch it all it motivates us a lot that you like the progress we made!
I'm the same and met these two when they met up with Eva. I'm now going back during the break from the Americas to Austrailia. It's great to see this journey in it's infancy.
Que guai. Muchas gracias.
No problem !
Please keep making more videos like these more often.
Sure! We see that this video worked very well. We’ll do more soon as we’ve upgrade a few things for our next trip! 🔥
Must go back in time. 😉
Cheers. 🍺&🍷
Very different then setup of today huh?
Wow what an equipped Land Rover, so interesting, well dine guysssss!!!!! Thanks for all the explanations 😇🤩would like to offer this missing item : 🪴🪴🤪. Love the videoioo🤩
The jerrycans?! yes madam! with pleasure, thank you! ☺️
Id put those traction things on a hinge to double as a table - food prep, etc
That is kind of the system we have now actually! You can check our latest build video
Hey there. Can you tell me the type of swing away wheel carrier you have? I need one that’ll clear my hi lift like yours does. Thanks kindly. Love your videos. Very inspiring.
Hi, we got out from RRC in Lyon France.
Subtitulos en español. Gracias.
Hola! Disculpa de mi rispespuesta tardiva. Ora estan todo tambien en espagnol 😃
Nice
Thanks Nick
Great looking set up . Love Land Rover defenders there a great adventure rig . Cheers from Steve Stott in Sutherlin Oregon U.S.A.
Do you also have a 4x4?
@@NextMeridianExpedition . yes 4x4 pickup right now . Had a Land Rover 110 like yours till it got wrecked . Miss it a lot hope to get another one , there’s nothing like a 110 defender for over landing fun and adventure . Cheers from Steve Stott in Sutherlin Oregon U.S.A. …P.S. Looking forward to seeing more from the both of you . :):)👍🏼
@@stevestott1514 Ah pity! Surely one day you can get another :) Yes many more to come, 1 episode per week, they come out every Sunday 8 am CET.
Great conversion! The only wrong thing is the sink position, is covered when the bed is open and when the roof is closed.. yes, you can use the external shower… but the access to water must be more useful… greetings from Tuscany 👋👋👋👋
Ciao Francesco from Norway 👋 yes, there are some things we would ameliorate if we rebuilt this car but for now it’s defintily fine 😊
In this video you were thinking of 1000km on 110l and 1500km on 150l including the jerries: so that is about 10km per liter: how is your actual consumption? especially off road? 10 out of 1 seems very very optimistic in my opinion....
On normal roads we do 11l/100km. and off-road it would depend if there is a lot of elevation gain but we d go to 13/14l/100km probably. but it really varies from a track to another.
👍😍
hallo guys stay health and safe
Thank you!
neat setup man, btw what's the brand for your combo heater+AC that U are using?
Hi Ian, we are using the Eberspacher Airtronic D2 Camper. We love it and it’s works very well. Hope it helps.
Sympa l'Albatros ! Vous avez fait faire tout l'aménagement par RRC ? Quel en est le budget je vous prie, hors Defender ?
Bonjour, oui la majorité chez RRC. Sur leur site vous trouveriez les prix.
Nous avons le meme toit mais nous avons changé le sommier qui était beaucoup trop lourd .nous laissons toujours notre lit fait.
Who is the manufacturer of the pop top roof for the defender 110?
It is a German company called extec and it was installed by a French company called RRC
Roughly how much for the pop up roof bed
seriously reconsider fuel on the side of the vehicle, you might also want to find out the legislation requirements for such. In the UK, you'd need them to be empty and you'd need extended mirror arms as you cannot see behind you properly. Also most ferries won't allow external fuel cans. So at that point, you might as well store them internally or underslung.
Yes in Europe they need to be empty. And surely other countries too. We will only have them on when doing our world tour and they will only be full when we take long distances.
We have not yet taken a decision on extended mirrors as when the Jerry’s are removed we can see clearly behind. But we’ll keep your feedback in mind.
@@NextMeridianExpedition extended arms are part RRC8443, i'd also talk to a few of the Defender driving overlanders for their tips. Good luck in the travels though, I might see you around, although the vehicle and interior seem familiar, met one very similar toy yours a few years back in Scotland. :-D
Muchas felicidades por la preparación que habéis hecho. Cuando esté acabado será una gran casa. Estoy en Barcelona y me gustaría saber la empresa francesa de la preparación. Eso sería para el hipotético caso de que algún día me preparara mi defender. Que os vaya todo muy bien.
Hola Jose la empresa Que ha hecho la preparation del set up interior se llama RRC concept. Para la preparacion mecanica la empresa se llama Newman 4x4, ambas son cerca di Lyon.
Trop bien ce que j ai le plus aimé c est la grille à barbeuc 😆! Vous êtes pas chaud des panneaux solaires ?
Ahaha, oui on va pouvoir se faire un BBQ quand on va descendre dans la Drome! Pour les panneaux solaires, pas pour l'instant non. Peut-être plus tard dans le voyage si c'est vraiment nécessaire.

What are those 2 bars for the JerryCans? Where to get them? Thnx
Hi Dido, yea they are for jerrycans, but you can also set up side boxes for storage or sand tracks. I got the Slimline tracks from Mudstuff in the United Kingdom.
@@NextMeridianExpedition thank you, I found some universal tracks can be customized to take anything. Starting your journey soon?
Great! Yes we will be leaving in April 2022. What about you?
@@NextMeridianExpedition still building mine, first plan is the Middle East
That’ll be a sweet trip, when is it planned for?
Nice video but I recommend doing it without the annoying music playing. With the wind and music it is distracting.
Hi Chaski, we will be doing another video soon on the car. And we’ll be getting better at making them to make sure their on point! :)
Thanks for the feedback.
Aluminum sand tracks trash and heavy, take plastic!
You are right! We were thinking about it, but we’ll start off with those and switch them if needed :)
