DIY TROOPY BUILD - INTERIOR PART 1 - BUILDING OUR DREAM HOME ON WHEELS
มุมมอง 5K7 หลายเดือนก่อน

Just found your channel - and lo and behold, a Truma install in a Troopy - just what I'd hoped to find. It's been a while since your last upload - any more to come or has life gotten in the way?
sooo what happened? where did you guys go??
Will the air-con be powered by lithium batteries, a generator or just when you have 240v power?
Not sure where you guys are, but just wanted to say that your videos are awesome! and I am super excited to see how your troopy build went. Would also been keen to watch you on your travels. I'm also sure there would be loads of people that feel the same way as me, so please please please, MORE VIDEOS!!!!
Hello already congratulations for your work and your videos. I live in France and I just ordered a land cruiser. Your layout is very well thought out. Do you have any plans to share? Thank you Olivier
You're giving me some great ideas for my build over here in the US. I've been researching 12v AirCon units like crazy and am going to do a similar install. That truma unit looks nice!
Where are you guys?
Be careful putting any load on the plastic connectors. My first two builds I used the same alloy tubing and connectors but all joins that took weight or shock loads eventually cracked. I now use metal connections or 80/20.
Will be there an update on what you did with the air vent?
Super nice video. Well done
Hey guys. How many L is the fridge? Cheers!
Nice build, looking good. Did you consider the Ecoflow wave airconditioner?
Cheers mate, no never actually heard of that! Will have to look into it. Seems quite cool at a quick glance
Loved the beard blow 😂 can’t wait to see the final product!
Keep up the great work guys!
Thanks guys!
Great video guys! Thanks for talking boats today at the ramp! Sorry to keep you so long! Keep the videos coming. Check ours out here @OBM1770
How did you fit that bushman’s centre console fridge in?
Haha.. lots of customizing and fiddling around. We purchased a console from The Department of Interior to suit a 79 series with the bushman’s console fridge, as they don’t make one for the troopy. We just had to cut it a couple of times and make some custom brackets to make it work. But worth it for us to have a second fridge 👌🏼
@@Travelling_sands did changing the seats give you anymore room?
Love the custom drawer! Keen to see the finished product! CatchALap ;)
Thanks guys, I’m sure you’ll get an exclusive run down on the road one day soon😉
What’s the advantage of the air tank? I have the same compressor.
the advantage of the air tank is less running time on the air compressor and quicker inflation, but it not a necessity. More of a convenience
That was an excellent video and it is really nice to see a young couple ‘doing as much as they can themselves’, well done
Cheers mate, really appreciate it! We love giving everything a go 👌🏼
Looks great! Exciting. What kind of magnet did you use for the vent?
Cheers mate! We just went to our local hardware store and found a round magnet a bit smaller than a 5c piece that was quite strong
It takes up a lot of space . . . . But it will be useful . . . not sure whether space taken will equal usefulness. . . . Build is going great
Yea it sure does, we travel very light, we can't even fill the Troopy with gear, so for us personally the space was available and we still have empty draws so it will hopefully come in handy on the road.
amazing skills. Your Troopy is your oasis from the elements, including insects, heat, and cold. Your nest. It needs to be comfortable. Kudos for the aircon! Will make life on the road so much more enjoyable and will add to the longevity of your adventures. Does it heat as well? that would be the ultimate!
Thanks so much, yea exactly our thinking, and as we plan on living it for a very long time, just those creature comforts make all the difference. Yea it work even more efficiently on heating 👌🏼 so win win
What a cracker idea! Love the utility panels being purposeful and stock looking. So epic legends 🤙
Cheers mate, yea it’s one of our favourite mods on the car!
Well done guys looks great! What pipework/fittings did you use for the water system?
Thanks! We have used 12mm John guest pipe and John Guest fittings for all our water systems!
You are truly a beautiful couple and this build is a work of art. I have watched hundreds of YT videos while I waited 18 months for my Troopy to arrive and this is the first AC I have seen in a Troopy. Quite a few in Vans but I feel your build is unique 👌
Thanks guys. Really interesting. Never seen the aluminium square tubing being used before. I really like it. Nice energy as well :)
Thanks for watching! Lots more build content to come 👌🏼
@@Travelling_sands if you ever have issues with the plastic joiners (i know some people have had them break), you can also get metal core wrapped in plastic joiners.
How good is that, keen to see the rest of the build and what’s to come of it
Cheers! The best is yet to come 🙌🏼
Looks great!! Love the DIY! How did you fix the alu tubes to the floor? I'm looking at using them too for something similar and was gonna go the Bunnings way, what's the price difference to Bunny? Cheers 👍🏾
Cheers mate! We screwed the fitout through the bottom tube to the timber floor we put in. For the aluminum, we paid $32 per 6.5m, and Bunnings is $44 for 3m, so more than a triple the price!
Looking good, guys! 🙌
Cheers! 😁
Woohoo awesome work guys 🥳
Thanks guys!
Nicely done , welcome to the fun world 🌍of TH-cam 🤩🚐hope to bump into you guys on the road sometime 😊
Thanks for watching, yeah definitely can’t wait to get on the road soon! 😄
Very nice build and well thought out lay out. What power is the fridge, 125 ac or 12vdc? How are you attaching the aluminum framing to the floor board you installed in the troopy? Look forward to the rest of the build. Looks great!!!
Love it guys! Excited to see the whole build come together.
Thanks guys! It sure is one epic build 👌🏼
Well done 😊
