GULLWING

Outdoor Kochspaß

Wer kennt das nicht: Ihr kocht im Auto weil es draußen Katzen hagelt und das ganze Auto steht im Dampf eures leckeren Gerichts oder aber ihr habt einen wunderschönen Sommertag und sitzt in der stockenden Hitze des Autos um euch ein Essen zu zaubern.

Abhilfe schafft hier ein sog. Gullwing Fenster, das es euch ermöglicht eine Seite des Fahrzeugs komplett zu öffnen. Nun haben wir sozusagen eine offene Küche und können einfach die vorbereitete Zutaten nach außen geben um direkt auf unserem selbstgebauten Tisch am Defender zu kochen. Das hat den Vorteil, dass wir im Auto eine Arbeitsplatte haben.

Die Anzahl an Herstellern nimmt stetig zu und wir haben uns verschiedene Gullwings angesehen. Überzeugt hat uns am Ende das Fenster von Explore Glazing aus Holland. Hier stimmen Preis, Qualität und Service.

Useful Advice

  • Which tools do you need?

    We started with a socket Driver Set with which we until now completed nearly all repairs at Harry. Some special Equipment is however useful e.g. 27 and 36 open-end wrench.

    For Selfmademan stuff you will need a battery driller, jigsaw, disk saw,... so more or less a fully equiped tool shop. 

  • Is everyone able to do the electrics?

    In principle I would say that you can do the 12V electrics on your own. But also beeing an mechanical Engineer I had my personal limits, especially if it comes to relay circuits. Most important is that you have a well electrical fuse protection installed, that in case anything happens keeps you safe.

  • Where do you buy spare parts?

    That depends on the parts itself, but most of it we order online. For the Defender the companies located in England have proven themselfs to be a good source Paddock and Island 4x4 .

  • Is it useful to have a solar panel on the roof?

    That depends on your application and your thirst for energy.

     For us the solar panel on the roof has limited value because in combination with the 100W mobile solar panel, 100Ah LiFePo4 and the charging booster we already have a sufficient setup for our energy consumption.

  • How do you generate warm water?

    Our hot water is generated by a heat exchanger, which is incorporated in the defender's heating circuit on a countercurrent principle. That means warm water is only available when the engine is warm.

    Unfortunately, the water coming out of the heat exchanger is just under 70 ° C / 158° F, which means either pumping water in the circuit until you have reached the desired temperature in the water tank or installing an additional thermostat.

  • How do you shower while traveling ?

    We have a luxurious outdoor shower consisting of a pressure water pump, a heat exchanger with thermostat and an extra shower tent. More on this also in the area of hot water.

    The system consists of Gardena connections, a Gardena shower as well as food-safe and temperature-resistant EPDM hoses. You can get the hoses here: SchlauchProfi

GULLWING

Outdoor Cooking fun

Who doesn't know this: you cook in the car because cats are hailing outside and the whole car is in the steam of your delicious dish or you have a wonderful summer day and sit in the stagnant heat of the car to conjure up a meal.

This is remedied by a so-called Gullwing window, which allows you to open one side of the vehicle completely. Now we have an open kitchen, so to speak, and can simply give the prepared ingredients outside to cook directly on our self-made table on the Defender. This has the advantage that we have a worktop in the car.

The number of manufacturers is constantly increasing and we have looked at different gull wings. In the end, we were won over by Explore Glazing's window from Holland. Here price, quality and service are right.
