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

I have had the absolute privilege of seeing a lot of set ups that have traversed the CSR and the Tanami, and for simplicity and practicality, yours is up there with the best of them.

I sincerely hope you don't mind, but I am contemplating replicating your tent set up, with a couple of extras, as I have a 2000 Hilux, so cannot come off the back of the car.

Great vehicle, enjoy your travels.

Cheers

Why travel overseas, you could travel Australia your entire life, and not see it all.

Hi Marc,

Thank you for your kind comments. You are very welcome to use our "design".

The tent system works well for us, apart from one "design" oversight that we are now fixing. There needs to be a good slope on the roof, so that water can't weigh down the canvas and create a puddle on top that then weighs it down further to catch more water to weigh it down...... So far we've just added a small tarp as shown in the last photo, but the plan is to raise the ridgepole to provide much more slope.

Cheers

John
