Storyteller’s Grand Bohemian Is an Upgraded, Overlanding 2027 Ineos Grenadier SUV

This luxurious camper conversion of the already popular Ineos Grenadier is still right at home on the trail.

Writer

It’s a wonder no one has turned the Ineos Grenadier into a serious turnkey overlander camper prior to now, but Storyteller Overland has finally taken the plunge. With its old-school Defender-inspired design, the Grenadier is the perfect vehicle to recreate the adventures of those who trekked out to the Sahara and Mojave in a camper-converted Land Rover. Let’s take a look at the Grand Bohemian, the name Storyteller has given to this Grenadier camper conversion.

The 2027 Storyteller Grand Bohemian is based on the Ineos Grenadier Trialmaster. The changes begin with the suspension, which the company swaps out for the Flarespace Evictus Prerunner Kit. This is a set of 2.65-inch dampers for improved ride quality and control while going off-road. It’s also matched by a set of BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3 tires mounted to Torque Racing Enduro wheels, including the rear-mounted spare tire.

For those who want to be sure they can get everywhere they need to, the Grand Bohemian includes a front-mounted winch to get them out when stuck, and a twin-motor onboard ARB air compressor to inflate the tires after driving through a spot that required them to be aired down. There is also an exterior lighting package that includes fog lights, ditch lights, and chase lights to ensure you can see throughout the night.

Once you reach your campsite, you’ll find the Grand Bohemian comes equipped with a 270-degree Shadow awning to give you and your companions a covered space while outside. Inside, however, two people will be able to sleep and have plenty of headroom when dining or working inside with the Alu-Cab roof conversion extended. When you need to hand items from inside to out, the rear passenger and driver doors open to reveal pass-throughs. While you’ll probably use the Multi Zone dimmable lighting in its soft white setting most of the time, there is a red mode to help you retain your night vision when you need it.

Keeping you warm is a fuel-fired Hydronic heating system (it also heats your fresh water), and keeping your devices charged is done by four 110-volt outlets powered by a 2-kW inverter. DC power is provided by a 5.4-kWh Lithionics Battery on a Redarc control system, and 400-watt solar panels ensure it remains charged and ready to go.

When you need it, a compost toilet is installed along with an exterior shower mounted to the rear door. Fresh water is provided by a 10.5-gallon tank with a four-gallon gray water tank for wastewater. You’ll also be able to prepare your own meals using the galley inside that features a stainless-steel sink and folding faucet. Further freshwater filtration is provided by a Guzzel H2O purification and filter system. A dual zone 21-quart refrigerator/freezer combo keeps your food cold, and a portable induction cooktop allows you to cook warm meals when you don’t want to make something with your campfire.
