In this episode, Christian installed some clever additions into our roof top tent. Everything is DIY made and not expensive. Hope you like the video and thanks for watching.
Vera & Christian
Our tent is an Eezi-Awn made in South Africa. It is not very expensive but very durable. ,

Dear Christian and vera, thank you once again for an entertaining and informative vid. Christian you really are a maestro, and I was made up to see Vera with her kit off, looking great. Paul.
Another Sunday another LR time that’s as good as it gets, great to see you both thank you for entertaining us all.
I love you guys great video again thanks 👍
Awesome job and a great idea
Sell the Mall Crawler and get a Freelander 2 , my wife ( who passed away yesterday) had one before her Range Rover Sport 3.6 , and it was the best most cost effective most reliable Land Rover we ever had , great interesting video this week . Don't buy a pig in a poke or New Defender.
Take care Christian and Vera and keep up the best car program ever , Love you guys .... Graeme
Sorry for your loss. I wish you the strength to go on with life even if it will never be the same. Christian
have really enjoyed all you have put on you tube ...look forward to it each weekend...keep up good work....it really is the best thing on you tube......viewing from Yorkshire
😊🙏🙋♀️Vera
my only quandary ...why wont Christian show us how to make coffee properly...?
@@Vera_and_Christian are there any stickers or patches left ? please
Excellent job Christian. Love your beautiful "Spokes model / Assistant!
Marvellous display of ingenuity and engineering with a wonderful side helping of humour love the channel guys keep it up 👍
Again, I am impressed of your "home" workshop and what you can do with it. That's fas beyond what regular dudes can do, I absolutely like it!
Now I realise where Robin gets his practical skills from, He makes very unique interesting articles. Keep including the clips.
CZcams kindly recommended your channel for the first time today! I rarely subscribe on the first video, but the humour, ingenuity and the wonderful interaction between Christian and Vera made me subscribe immediately. OH, as an added bonus, it is a channel about Land Rovers.
Best landrover channel!!!
You guys are so cool together. I really loved your video.
Entertaining as usual, thanks for the efforts 🤘🏻
Is there anything this man can’t do? 😉👍
sooo amazing how fast you can move when motivated! Thanks for your expertise, enthusiasm and german precision...
Another great video guys and I love the banter as usual, last week’s video was excellent by the way.
That is an impressive bag you made Vera!
Wonderful video presentation! I think you two have a great future in camping innovation! 😀
Your 16 year old self knew what your 50 year old self was going to need in the future! -Nice!👍
The Red Arm on the Hella Plug is to pull the front part of the Plug out if it separates from the Plug body. Great channel thank you
Great video you two, thoroughly enjoyable as always, well done.
Christian, like all the jobs you do and things you make, all done with absolute German precision. Vera, don't forget the shadows that all those led lights will throw on all the surfaces of your rooftop tent, one word "discretion", I've camped in many camping areas over a long life and been amazed at some of the "shadow puppet shows" we've witnessed, some folks have no idea...
Believe me, I have camped for 30 years now, and those light shadows do not only apply to RTT. 😃👍🙋♀️Vera
Das wird wieder eine lange Woche bis nächsten Sonntag. Danke für das Informative und schöne Video.
😅👍🙋♀️Vera
Addicted to your OCD filled videos!!!
Much love from Australia 😊
another splendid outing. Thanks both.
Great video and subject. I'm not sure what I enjoyed more, the video of the box or listening to you and your wife! You two very funny and have a great dynamic together!
Awesome bit of kit👍👍🇬🇧
32 minutes, the sound of church bells almost made me cry. We’ve lost so much in U.K. I remember 60 years ago, you always heard the bells especially on Sunday, more than once. 55 years ago, I was a junior chorister and assistant bell pull operator. I remember always doing what the vicar told us not to do, and that was to keep hold of the bell pull on the upstroke, when I’d be winched up to the ceiling and down again like a monkey, laughing hysterically.
Is this a cup holder or something 🤣🤣 some very nice wiring nice and neat just how it should be and the led’s were really cool especially with the dimmer nice work , Your so funny dude we need more cheerful people like you in the world my good man 👍
Excelent video as always....👌💪😎🤙
You've changed my mind on a roof tent 😊
Love your build. I am working on one myself.
And who ever said Germans don't have a sense of humour?!?! I was busting a seam over you guys. I used to be an adjunct lecturer at the NATO School in Oberammergau for about a decade and spent a lot of time in Bavaria. You two are every good stereotype of being German! Anyway, thanks for the entertainment and ideas. My wife and I have an Aussie made forward fold camper trailer which is basically a GIANT rooftop tent with wheels. Your LED light solution and NASA control unit are perfect for what we need. Now I know what my next project is for it. Tschuss!
That is so great.😃👍 🙋♀️Vera
Another great video - I've sent a link to a friend who is thinking of getting a new roof tent for his 4x4.
Thanks for my Sunday entertainment.
PS Christian you are very clever and I have great respect for you, but the model is definitely easier on the eye....
What a lovely couple you are love your vids
Fantastic work as always. Buying extended roof rails tomorrow for my Disco and will make a platform in front of my tent and find a box to mount on top plus add a small wind deflector. Love the tent lights design. 🤘
Vera is the new pin up girl!
Vera is a handy woman to have around!!
Christian you landed on your feet when you met her!! Haha
I don't own a LR but I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos and your ingenuity that could apply towards my land cruiser
Excellent video thank you.
Humorous, charming couple.
Nice job guys. 👍😎
Christian I just love you thumbnails you're really getting in the on the CZcams click bate 😄 .....hes lucky to have you vera... love the video's.
Great video as always. Got the same Synology NAS, love that thing, served me for 7 years now.. :)
Great video. Love your firewood contingency. In UK we would have one week's supply. Looks like your set for life, unless that is you own a steam railway locomotive 😊
hello guys, I'm in a LR club in Brazil, and I was told your videos, I loved the content, I'm enjoying the videos and I have an LR just like yours, I loved the channel
😃👍Yes that is great. 🙋♀️Vera
Good morning 😀 Always great watching your videos with all the humour we need in these strange times we’re in right now 🤩 Love Stevie 😍
Yes, in those times, if we can put a smile on your face, that is all that matters. 😃👍🙋♀️Vera
Great video 👍, the defender engine is from a ford transit and some transits have a breather filter in the rocker cover, it looks like an oil filter. However I think a beer can holder is probably more useful 😂
Yeah, LR should've dropped in a Cummins
woooo hoooo that thumbnail😍
Great Video as always my Sunday priority show! My roof tent is going to a new owner tomorrow I sleep inside my Disco and that is cool....
good job !!!
Wonderful ✌️
Excellent video yet again, Christian your technical ability is brilliant keep up the good work 👌
You bought the right 12v plug. I have the same one for over 20years and used it for a bunch of different projects in the car. That means I took it apart a lot of times and it is still in excellent condition.
Your work is amazing and the videos are fantastic. Thank you for sharing.
Nice little compact panel definitely better than Amazon or RS box 👍🏻
The apple tree 😂 lecture so funny 😂😂😂 great video see you next week
I enjoy you videos and humour! Red is Black and Plus is Minus… 😂
Christian and Vera just found your you tube LR TIME you two are the best I do believe that I will buy a fj cruiser but I'm on the fence about the rovers always wanted a discovery so not bought anything yet but in the research stage love your control panel
A FJ Cruiser has it's own look and we actually like that one, especially the three front wiper blades. 😅👍But, here in Germany, they are also just too expensive, like every Toyota, and take a lot of gas. We love our Land Rovers. 🙋♀️Vera
Ihr seid einfach großartig :-)
Hi guys lovely to see you I have a tent on my land rover 1970 series11 I love it you take care phill&Christine from England
👍😃🙋♀️Vera
too much fun!!, keep up zee german precision...
I enjoy your video's. I really love your sense of humor. I would like one of your patches if possible. Signed by you two if possible. I will be looking forward to your next video. Ken ( California USA)
Email me, and check out next weeks video. 😃👍🙋♀️Vera
looking forward of a housetour-video
Thank you.
Took your advice and got a diagnostic tool before I buy a D4
👍💪👌🙏🙋♀️Vera
You inspire me! Love fabricating things, but my work space is nothing like yours and my "assistant" isn't as amicable, although she makes sure I'm hydrated, lol. I've used the same kit on my bass boat electronic updates, be careful with the chinesium polarity, its caught me off guard a few times. They also aren't the best with their connectors/wiring crimps.....
As an IT Sys Engineer, the last part of the video is going to give my nightmares, lol.
Liking Vera's KGB case with the clear front.
That was so funny this week Christian and Vera , must be best roof tent in the universe now . I love the 1950s Sci-fi control box lol
Also the auto generated CZcams subtitles have decided to change Vera's name to Vienna 😂😂😂
😅👍 I suppose it could be worse. 🙋♀️Vera
Great as normal got a fright had you got a model (dolly bird ) to model the tent then heard Vera panic over. LED strip's are fab use them for Xmas displays my hobby. Pixels even more fun. Stay safe lol from NZ.
That cub holder on the puma engine, I use mine for bolts and nuts when doing a job.
😅👍Next time we‘ll do that🙋♀️Vera
Ah, we do enjoy the videos, especially the moments with humor. As far as the times you stepped on and off the lantern, I lost count.
Now, what's next?
Next, I'll should show you guys how I set up my tent 😅👍 And I am not using that ladder, and I am much smaller. So that is far more interesting. 🙋♀️Vera
Cool
OMG! That was a step drill 😲😲😲
I didn't write an email but I did buy an OIBD2 scanner. Loved the videos! Plastering in those cables without putting them in ducts or pipes seems like a very un-German solution. :)
not only very un-German but als also very wrong even in Germany!
"You don't do torque, and you don't do electricity. What do you do?" Hahahaha... But Vera made lunch, and you don't have torque or electricity without lunch!
Fun video as always. I'm always impressed with all the little brackets, and clips, and what-nots you find online to make these projects come out so nice just like the clip for that heater hose. You must spend your fair share of time conducting online searches. Keep up the good work. 🙂
Next challenge! Please make a permanent webasto duct/ quick connector for the heat hose through the tent fabric?💪💪💪
Lol your apple tree trimming advice 😂
Very simple 👍
Joli !
Dear Christian and Vera, I have just discovered your channel and have subscribed.
Although I don't have a Disco. I find your tips very useful ( black = red and +=_) etc.
I drive a 2010 90 defender 2.4 tdci with the Ford engine.
My problem is 0, and my shoe size is 43.
Thanks for the funny content of your videos, they are a joy to watch.🚙
😅👍Great to have you here. 🙋♀️Vera
Fantastic video as always , thank you , plus may i ask please , would u ever consider one day of doing a tour of ur workshop plse , how u organise everything , what kind of tools u find very useful etc , very jealous as u always seem to know where things are , lol, many thanks as always look forward to ur content 👍👍
We would have to clean up first😅👍🙋♀️Vera
😂😂, i secretly think ur workshop is inside the Tardis, lol, hope ur both keeping safe and well
Great show again, did you know on your D4 if you press the left and right mirror select buttons together (on the drivers door) both mirrors retract for tight places and hedgerows.
Yes but I was so far not able to change the config so that they do not fold in when I lock the car. It generates a fault und I have to undo the change with the GAP. Christian
We love your roof tent! Is this completely DIY?
Our RTT is an Eezy Awn. I love it too. 🙋♀️Vera
Well there you go ... you can use the rooftop as sauna too 🤣
The next level of development for LRTtime... this is soooo entertaining. What a double act from the supposedly humorless Germans...
Me and the family are doing light off-road and camping in our LR3 this summer in Derbyshire.
Just had some A/T tyres fitted can I ask what mpg your getting ?
Great videos 💪👍
We do not have the AT tires on yet, but right now, with the RTT, I get 11,4 L/100km. With the AT tires, it will be 12l/100km. But I live in a hilly area. 👍🙋♀️Vera
@@Vera_and_Christian thank you very much for the reply Vera and I’m looking forward to catching up on some videos that I’ve missed
Do your led lights change color? Think about it, because white light attract mosquitos. I am sure you know that. Great videos, great ideas. I Thanks for it.
Yes we do know that 😃👍🙋♀️Vera
Great video and your skills too, if I were you I will fix the LED strip with something better than the self sticking tape it has because the tent will get pretty hot under the sun resulting on the glue from the strip to fail.
👍We have added additional support, just did not put it in the video🙋♀️
Christian. Have you seen the X-Lifter suspension module??
Those files look like from the KGB torture tool box too!
😅👍🙋♀️Vera
Nice idea, what is the brand and model of the tent ?
We have the Eezi-Awn Jazz 1400 🙋♀️Vera
@@Vera_and_Christian Thanks Vera
Great vid! whats the tool that you use at 23:57 called?
I suppose it's called a Rivet Nut tool? Here is the amazon link amzn.to/35Mru8e, that will help you. 👍🙋♀️Vera
cool little box but id put some wire ties around those light strips the glue never holds when it gets warm
We have, just did not film it. 👍🙋♀️Vera
The car doesn’t like all that talk about gap-tool and bings and bongs😄 Very nice bags👍 But shouldn’t the alu-box have a nice paint job also?
Actually we like to be silver, we just painted the front because of the really bad reflection it gives off to oncoming traffic in bright sunlight. 🙋♀️Vera
Wondering how I can get your fabric brands. The one you can sew on clothes. Thanks in advance.
You mean our patch? Please send me an email or message me on Instagram best. I cannot linke email or any other information here in the comment section unfortunately. 🙏🙋♀️
I'm interested to know why you mentioned inches for thickness measurements? I thought imperial was exclusively USA and formerly the UK
I am familiar with inch, wire gauge, psi, pounds, miles and so on because my customers are US companies like Dana, AAM, Magna, Linamar, Ford, etc.
My goodness Vera, you looked like all your Christmases came at once when you were trying out the finished lighting in the roof top tent!. Christian, we call the Aluminium Support Structure in the tent a "Boom" or "Folding Boom". Also, the heater display in the box did not look like it was mounted square? I don't know if it was the camera angle or what.
Of course it's mounted square, and if not that would not be such a disaster. We have it so you can adjust it to any orientation. 👍🙋♀️Vera
@@Vera_and_Christian I know it would have been a disaster - I had a terrible nights sleep, I was worried about Christian! 😯😯😯😯No I can sleep well, thank you Vera 😁😁😁😁
Another entertaining video for a cold Sunday afternoon. At 3:25 you use a tool to scrape the rough edges, what is it called in English please?
It’s a plumber tool actually @Toyota Tim
@@jurgenkrebbekx4329 do you know what it's called?
@@toyotatim2521 it’s called a deburring blade
@@jurgenkrebbekx4329 Many thanks 👍
Sounds logical, why didn't I think of that. 😅
Great video,but when is Vera going to start selling your fantastic bags?
Wenn I get a better sewing machine. 😃👍🙋♀️Vera
is it just me or is Christian sounding more and more like Werner Ziegler ( Better call Saul TV show)
