Both the 30seconds wind awning and the solar shower was a great idea , and the interior design was just mind blowing 😍😍😍

Hi Luke and Jess, love your rig. Simple and practical. I love the 78s from 2000 - 06, very DIY and also doesn't give you a lot of grief if you keep up with basic maintenance (or hardly even). Safe travels out there in great/vast/beautiful Australia. Kudos!

Whilst I respect builds of all budgets, I highly rate the ways you guys balanced your priorities. Nothing like having quality 12v gear, it’s so integral to travel with a fridge. I love that you did so much yourself to save coin elsewhere. 12k for a 1Hz 78 is an absolute bargain.

Hey guys, great video! I'm in the middle of setting my Troopy up. I have a few questions, how much water do you think you need when very remote? Today I bought the Thorburns water tank but thinking I may add another tank in there for extra water. Also, how do you go about doing your laundry when out remote? Cheers.
@AsWeWander
@AsWeWander 3 жыл бұрын
hey mate, we have the thorburns as well. When we're remote we will fill up 2 x 10L jerry cans and we also have a DIY solar shower that holds about 25L. If we're careful with all of that water we can easily stretch it out to 2 weeks. if we're running low sometimes we'll just boil river water for coffees, dishes etc. And washing we just usually do every few weeks once were in a town with a laundromat, otherwise just handwash socks and jocks every few days

Hi Guys! Awesome set up, I have a question. We are doing a reno on our troopy right now and we have a similar top extension. I saw that you guys have that bead board kind of wood finish on the ceiling of yours and we want to do something similar. We are worried about the top being fiberglass and putting too much weight with putting wood boards on the top. How did you guys do yours?
@AsWeWander
@AsWeWander 3 жыл бұрын
Hey, that board is just from Bunnings it’s quite thin and isn’t too heavy at all. We glued it up with sika flex and then we also bolted the solar panel to the roof through the timber as well which holds it all up 😊

Hey guys sick set up! Iv just got a high roof troopy and putting in the ply for the slide out bed and have 2 x 600 mm bits of rectangle ply but the height of the section of the part above the seats where you pack away are different and ply also won’t fit in that section? Any ideas?
@AsWeWander
@AsWeWander 3 жыл бұрын
Hey mate, is it narrower near the front end of the troopy? Just shape each board so they can stack up onto one another, if there are slight gaps when you bring them down as the bed base it shouldn't matter as long as it can still sit on the rails

Hey!! Welcome to troopy life hehe. The windows up top are 300mm x 900mm and the tool box is mounted with a L shaped plate onto our rear bar, Luke modified it by taking off the wheel carrier section.

Hey! We haven't tracked our spending ina few years now but when we did an initial lap from Melbourne counter clockwise to Perth, it took 12 months and we spent about $30k all up. That was literally every cost, bills, food, fuel, accomodation (we mainly free camped)
