Hi. Apologies for the late response. I have only just come across your channel. The Troopy fit-out is impressive. Clearly well thought through and carefully designed. Fit n Finish appears to be excellent. Having recently sold my new Troopy, because of weight limitations, I would be interested to know if you have weighed yours. I found I was nudging, and sometimes over, the 3300 kg GVM. Regards

@EscapingCrowds 8 ай бұрын

Hi, we are really happy with the fitout and it’s working well for us. We haven’t actually weighed it fully loaded but we have had a GVM upgrade done to 3900kg.

What a great build. Looking at getting Troopy and just absorbing as many ideas to see what would work (or not) for us. Your build looks close to perfection. So many great ideas and Perth fabricators I hadn't heard of. Thankyou for posting this and have fun on your travels!

Wow!! Very nice build! Here in the US, we obviously don't get the new 70 series trucks and since the 300 came out, we don't get the Land Cruiser at all. I looked at importing a older troopy, but with all of our highways here the old inline motors just can't get the job done. Thanks for sharing the build.

@EscapingCrowds Жыл бұрын

I’d imagine the import costs wouldn’t be cheap either. Cheers for watching Darryl 👍🏼

Yasss! I was hoping you guys were going to show the awning! We have the same one, I wish we got ours powder coated aswell though! I’m planing that our next video will be a full review of this piece of art, nice video guys. Have subscribed

This is a great video! I am just now building out my Troopy. I would love to know where you get the Air, Water, and Solar input panel on the outside. That would be a great addition

@EscapingCrowds Жыл бұрын

Hi John, we got that panel from Thorburns Fabrication. It has 4 ports (we use 3) that can be configured for whatever best suits your set up.

@jpfpreston 2 жыл бұрын

Fantastic! Looks exactly like what I have planned (when it finally arrives). What hot water system did you go for? How have you found it?

@EscapingCrowds 2 жыл бұрын

Cheers mate. We went with a Duoetto MK2 , electric heater with 10 litre storage. Hasn’t had a lot of use but has been good so far. That digital display unit was an extra so we can set/adjust the water temp on that.

Could you tell us what electrical system you're using? Inverter, battery size etc.... Great setup. I love the wood storage cupboards etc. Really well thought of. Thank you for sharing your ideas.

@EscapingCrowds Жыл бұрын

Cheers John, the electrical system is Enerdrive. 200ah lithium battery, 2000w inverter, 40a dc2dc charger and 40a 3 way AC charger. There’s a 200w redarc solar panel on the roof and a 200w solar blanket that we carry but haven’t needed to use yet.

@johnking9754 Жыл бұрын

Great video and fantastic Troopy build. I just bought one and am looking to build it out. The slat bed is awesome and all the storage is really, really well done. What size wheels/tires does your Troopy have and what front bar are you using?

@EscapingCrowds Жыл бұрын

Cheers John, the tyres are 285/75 r16 (33”) and the front bar is the Ironman Premium. Hope you got a few ideas here and best of luck with your build.

I like the external water and air ports, Ive been thinking of something like that on my camper to keep hose connections our of the car. Can I ask what the ports are?

@EscapingCrowds 2 жыл бұрын

Hey mate, the panel came from Thorburns Fabrication. It has 4 blank ports that you can use for whatever you like. We have used 3 of the 4. Water inlet goes to our underbody water tank. Anderson Plug for solar blanket and ARB air compressor outlet which means we can inflate without having to open up the back of the car. Check out the Insta page for @highcountry.4wd they make a similar panel that has a hinged door that covers the ports.

Hey guys just stumbled across your channel while researching troopys Might be a personal question just wondering how you guys find living out of the troopy How do you find getting in and out of the bed We are in our early 50s reasonably fit My wife was thinking a caravan where as I hate towing I have wanted a troopy for along time and I think I’ve finally convinced her Also just the places you can go without the bother of a van , we have always been a minimalist type campers Our plan to start with will be just short trips a couple of months a year I think a troopy would be perfect Love your build and keen to see more of your travels

@EscapingCrowds 2 жыл бұрын

Hi mate! Thanks for checking out our channel. We got the Troopy for the exact same reasons you’ve mentioned. We love the idea of being able to get to places and camp that you just can’t access when towing. We are of a similar age and haven’t found anything about the Troopy an issue. It’s the rooftop conversion that has made it a liveable vehicle which we love. We are outside most of the time but the roof conversion has made it liveable inside when needing to escape the weather. Getting in and out of the bed is easy. We also have an Instagram page (@escaping_crowds) which you can check out and DM if that’s easier. Cheers Paul and Tan
