We primarily use a tent or a hotel but have the option to sleep inside the LR Defender when necessary. Last night was one of those occasions.
We had driven to Khar Nuur (Khovd aimag, Mongolia), planning to camp there but didn't like the area so pushed on to the town of Dorgon. Considering the time and the strong chilly wind that was blowing, it was simpler to eat a meal in the town and then drive to a lake-side spot and sleep in the back of the Defender. Warm and comfortable - and a much quicker departure the next morning.
I have two custom-made 6-inch thick mattresses in the back on a wooden platform. We can leave them in situ for sleeping inside or can easily pull them out and put them in the tent for camping.
I can tell you that those mattresses are more comfortable than any of the hotel beds we've slept on in Russia or Mongolia!
