Our Troopy Set-Up

. Troopys are very capable and adaptable – not overly beautiful or comfortable, but big, powerful and pretty much unstoppable. They are a purposeful vehicle,

Hi John & Val

Thanks for a great read and the opportunity to view your well set-up vehicle. Wow, a lot of thought has gone into it! I saw a great Troopy set-up at Camooweal in July when on tour through the Gulf Savannah, but they would do well to talk to you!

And they are works in progress, ‘The Landy’ is 15 years old, although has had a transplant (rebuild in 2006) and is servicing as well. We are currently in the process of fitting and wiring a 140 watt solar panel and two AGM deep cycle batteries. In fact your article on electricity was a great template for us.

Once again thanks….

Cheers, Baz, The Landy

Hi Baz,

Thank you for your comments. As you say, it's always "work in progress". Our Troopy was pretty upset with being referred to as a "Clunker", and Julia's offer of $2000 if we'd upgrade at a cost of only 20 or 30 times that bribe!

Good luck with the solar setup. Sounds a good system, with ample storage and enough solar to keep you independent while ever the sun shines.

Cheers

John
