Mahindra Thar modified as a camper van with a rooftop tent

Mahindra Thar is a very popular vehicle among overlanders and off-roaders. This is because of its off-road capability and go-anywhere nature. So, many people end up modifying their Thars according to their particular needs. Here, is a Mahindra Thar that has been modified as a camper van with a rooftop tent.

The video is uploaded on YouTube by caravan bharat. We can see that the SUV has been modified heavily for overlanding. The first thing that the host shows us is the Annex room. The frame of the room has been attached to the crossbar on the roof. This means that the entire room can be folded above only. So, it is always there when you need it and will not occupy additional space in the interior. It can be folded within just 5 minutes. There is also a facility for people to sleep in it or even work. The room is waterproof, can withstand heavy winds and also has windows for ventilation. The room measures 6.5 x 6.5 feet. The poles that form the structure are made up of aluminium and can be adjusted according to the vehicle.

There is also a kitchen setup where the tailgate is present in the SUV. There is a gas stove, and chopping board which can also be used as a tray.
