There’s plenty of space inside to eat, rest, and clean up.
Matzker, a German company that specializes in off-road rigs, has a special fondness for the Land Rover Defender. Matzker’s MDX is the ultimate off-road version of this iconic SUV. It comes with all the equipment needed to travel in the wilderness and return safely. Matzker also sells individual components so that you can still make a Defender without having to order the entire rig.
The rear section of the Matzker Defender MDX has been redesigned and covers a small living space with a pop-up roofing with solar cells. There’s also a sleeping area, a toilet, and a two-burner stove on the inside. If you find it too dark and claustrophobic to rest inside, the exterior features an awning that can be extended to offer shade.
