ExplorOz - David & Michelle
Great story but I must disagree on your point... "Clearly Troopys are male and should be referred to as “He”, never “it”, certainly never “she”. "...
Over 12 years ago when David and I bought our troopy to travel around Australia we bought it already fitted out with a pop-top, roof bedding and side cabinets/sink/storage etc and when it reminded me of the toy "barbie bus" I had as a
young girl. Loathe the name and conotation as much as he liked, David could not get over that I nick-named our troppy "The Barbie Bus" !! So - to me, clearly this vehicle was a GIRL (but a very capable one at that).
tee hee, David is going to kill me when he reads this comment (I'm ducking for cover now ;-)).
Regards, Michelle

Hi Michelle,
As per other responses, maybe hi-top and pop-top troopies are the female form of the beast? Makes sense given the voluptuous girly curves that these extra bits add. So all girl power to Troopies, male or female!!!
Ours is still a boy tho! I bet David had a chuckle....
Cheers,
Val
