Loved this guys, you have thought of everything. You both are very clever with creating lots of storage for a small space. We hope to see you on legends on the road :)

Great walk around.. thanks! May be moving on from an FJ (love it, but not much space) and a Tvan. Would be happy with a troopy set up similar to yours. Thanks for the ideas. Safe travels. Cheers 🍻 (and subbed 🙂)

Nice set up! Happy this popped up on my recommended list because I'm excited to see your travels. Been living out of my own vehicle for about a year now getting to travel around the US, and I would LOVE to have a standing area. Safe travels out there ✌

Epic! i did a road trip through the state years ago and LOVED it! Yeh, the standing area inside makes things A LOT more comfortable for us. safe travels to you to ✌

Busily building my own set up - think I may have gone to narrow on the aisle in the middle as it’s a bit tight for my dog to turn in, as you say never perfect.

Great video guys,,I have a clam shell type camper but I think I would prefer your type with a tilt bed..Dove campers do that style. Reason is they are a little slimmer and you your heads are at the hatch side. So if one wants out the other wakes up. What filter do you use for your water tank, cheers

Love the tour guys. You’ve thought of literally everything! How’s do you find your mattress goes? Ps. I know how important that brush is for sandy feet… and paws! 🥰

@saltylap Жыл бұрын

thank-you! yeh its ok. we aren't very fussy mattress people though! its a 90mm clark rubber foam mattress cut up into the different sizes. you definitely know your not sleeping in a bed 😂 makes the occasions we do get to sleep in a bed all that sweeter!

Where did you install or build the roof top?

@saltylap Жыл бұрын

it was done by a company called "dove camper conversions', they are based in perth. a few other companies do similar set ups, have a look at 'alucab', 'mulgo', 'alu-inovations'
