Really fantastic job done. Wouldn’t it be worth to drill a hole for the water fill up.

I want to do the lightest build possible so don't have to do a GVM upgrade and get in and out of 2.2m car parks. Using various thicknesses of wood for floor and walls plus the use of aluminium + qublok seems to be the best way to do this. Or maybe not. Would you be interested in building cabinets and draws for me? Or are you too busy travelling and having a good time? thanks for the video

In Africa I would be running two tanks. One to wash and shower the other for drinking water. The drinking water I would keep within the vehicle, and I would fill it from purchased plastic bottles. I would still keep that line filter on the drinking water system. Finally I would keep a backup 5 litre bottle of drinking water in a corner somewhere.

hi, sounds epic. hotdog muffler. is that the resonator option?

This is really impressive. Love your attention and detail and focus on keeping it as lightweight as possible. Enjoy your trip! 👍

I love how well you edit your videos. Nice work.

Those roof conversions are brilliant. It's just a shame they cost so much money! I have used a 30 Second awning for years and it has been one of the best investments I ever made for roadside stops, Surfside stops, and just for quick camp set ups.

What product did you use you use for seam sealing?

Great build. I am glad I found your channel as I am working on a camper conversion for my 80 series. Could you share what latches are you using for your drawers?

Love the video. But I personally wouldn’t cut the roof. RTT will be my choice. Someone said modern camping is spending a lot of money to experience poverty.

Lol that is my "testing ground" in Bangholme too :D

Great Video. I would like to create a similar set-up. Would you mind sharing your sketch-up graphic data? That would be very kind.

Hey there just got mine need some help with some products

Lmao!!! "Im not quite happy with the height of the bench top" said the man hunched over unable to even sit upright.

Did you go to China? I heard that Foreigners have to hire a guide and spend a lot of money for the service, simply, you can't roam around freely by yourself over there. Is it true?

Nice car but wrong tires

How would this work in a cold climate?

I calculate with 10 Liter per day and per Person, if traveling in hot dry regions.because sometimes you only need 6-8 Liter drinking.

Whaouh, I am very impressed. I am in the process of starting my own fit out on a 2002 Troopy, which is very rare here in France ! Would you share with us some dimensions of your buildup ? For example what is the height of the kitchen and some others ? Want thanks. Philippe.

Great work mate, loving this series and you are inspiring me for my build (happening very slowly). Where did you get your aluminum framing from?😊

11:00 My favourite part seeing a diagram explaining how it all connects together. I always worry about how to maintain safe drinking water in a permanently housed tank. I don't know if it is safe to leave water in it for weeks/months on end between camping trips and I don't know how easy it is to clean one of these tanks regularly.

Excellent build to drive over anything you want. Remember our motto: leave a big trace.

Looking great!

Looks excellent. I love your use of the rivnuts to fasten everything together. I also notice that you have removed the 1.5 passenger seat - what have you replaced this with? (We are looking to do this also as it is not very comfortable.)

Straight in with an aftermarket exhaust? That's an overlanding NO-NO!! Stock items, that you have a good chance of getting replacement parts all over the world. Yep you can go trick if you buy one that will enable stock parts to be replaced within it. Locking diff is also a general No-No, as you are overlanding, not off roading, the criteria of the build is not needing such things unless you are excessivly taking risks. Remember the vehicle IS your home, so taking unnecessary risks puts your life in danger! You do not do that unless your life is already in danger! Tyees: YES! THE first modification that you should do, and probably the ONLY necessary driveline mod. If you have to mod the body (Add flairs) you picked the wrong rims. Again Stock standard as you don't need to alter anything else and to be honest, flairs are weight, weight is bad. Weight is your enemy. Do everything you can for an overlander to reduce weight.

Nice video mate. I have a new troopy on order. Currently tossing between alucab vs mulgo. May be when the times come I may need your valuable thoughts. I am in Chadstone if you happy to talk then Thanks

Nice interior build. Love the idea of forward facing seating space. Can I ask a question What type of carpet did you used and where did you bought from Thanks mate

Great videos. I love the little things you are doing to make it really functional and last.

Now that youve been on the road for sometime now. How much do you find you guys hangout inside?

nice ..wish we could get troopy's in the U.S.,don't have any good vans,wagon /s.u.v to build a car camper /overland adventure rig, add pop top, in the states every wagon /s.u.v.'s has to have 3 rows of leather ,have 2nd row ent screens has,2 sunroofs and power fold tilt this and that luxury car bits, toyota , lexus wagons are the only ones with solid rear axels rest , must have" independent rear axel for a smooth ride and leg room for the 3rd row "

good ideal for a car camper /overlander wish we could get 70 SERIES IN THE u.s I cant think any thing to buy 4 runner is our best trail rig no payload ideal is GM suburban more mall crawler mommy mobile . with all the luxury bling a diesel is opt but mostly on the top top luxury trim

nice ..wish we could get troopy's in the U.S. most of our wagons / s.u.v.'s all have to have 3 rows of leather, 2 sunroofs and of course 2nd row ent screens and power / this and that stuff to add wt and lower payload and the. thing every manufacture independent rear axle " for a smooth ride and leg room for the 3rd row " toyota / Lexus wagons have soild rear axles the 4 runner is our best trail rig just no room like a troopy

You have some good ideas with this build can tell a lot of thought has gone into it, great explaining too. Looking forward to more episodes

So if you really wanting to drink water from anywhere I would recommend a ro system. Most ROs require 45 PSI. You possibly could have the discharge line feedback into the clean tank long as he always have a bit of water in it it should always be diluted(rejected water). Most simple stage ROs come with a sediment prefilter and a carbon prefilter, meaning that you can disinfect/chlorinate the tank with the tablet or lightly disinfect at least before any water is used. This disinfectant stage would help oxidize any heavy metals in the water. They're always is a lot of pre-filtration recommended for RO systems but based off of experience I've seen that most RO systems can last quite a bit very neglected. Most simple inexpensive units take two and a half by 10 in filters and are easy to come by in most communities. I'd only be recommending to run this clean water to the separate drinking fountain. Upping the pressure with another booster pump to about 100 psi would help The efficiency of the RO. Ultraviolet lights are not bad but add to the complications one triggered by flow can be installed after the RO. All ultraviolet lights typically need is a 5 micron filter before so that way there is no chance that bacteria can be writing on the back side of a particle. The rejected water is usually viewed as a huge negative with RO's that usually keeps from having to change a filter a million times. Long as you can do something creative with the concentrate. Side note never put a back pressure on a concentrate line if anything a diverting ball valve that never creates back pressure. That's the one thing that will pop your membrane.

11:07 Filter water going into the tank? . One of my hobbies is walking wrecking-yards aka 'dismantlers'. For a factory RecreateVehicle, after the aluminum siding is foraged, the innerds are exposed. . Every time, the translucent fresh-water tank has a load of muck at the bottom. Often, that muck is several inches deep. . We always filter water going into our kegs. With our modular system, if one keg gets stanky, we continue using the others... ... and the others can be used to clean the problem child.

In our ExpeditionVehicle, instead of one big tank, we carry water in five-gallon stainless-steel retired Pepsi kegs. Our usual load is seven kegs, a total of thirty-five gallons... ... however, our system is modular. We can add a dozen kegs in the rig, plus a couple-three dozen kegs in the toy-hauler. In theory, our duration is around four months without re-supply.

2003, we built our ExpeditionVehicle on a 1996 Ford CF8000 commercial truck. GVWR -- 29,000#. Weight across the scale -- 14,000#. Cargo capacity -- about seven ton. . We immediately added a 140-gallon 'saddle-tank' to supplement the original 50-gallon tank. On the toy-hauler I fabricated on a similar commercial chassis, I mounted a 120-gallon diesel tank. In theory, our range without re-fuelling is Anchorage-to-Acapulco. . Although we could get fuel at any stop, we prefer areas with low taxes.

Dude. Thank you. This is like a master class from an engineer. Please keep this up

Wow the first days! You have done a great job Max!

Loving the channel my dude, just bought a troopy and will be doing a similar kit out. Many usefull ideas, cheers :)

Hopefully if the pump breaks or the power system fails you still have access to your water via gravity feed bypass. When your thirsty troubleshooting doesn't taste as good. Pretty good system overall though. Sometimes wish I got that tank instead of thorburns 40 liter but it's been sufficient minus showers.

Hey mate, where did you get your cad file from?

Love your puppy. Nice design and construction ideas. Well done! Questions if I may, with thanks in advance: What thickness plywood did you use for the floor plate, side panels, drawers and bench top? What weight savings do you estimate your entire cabinetry build achieves over an alternate 12mm plywood build? Is one of your project objectives to stay within the factory GVM?

Great construction - I made a similar shelf system to @fritzntroopy. Be sure that the frame is secured to the structure of the car otherwise the plastic joints will crack due to load and sway. Found this out on K'Gari and had to make temporary joints out of sticks!

Love it mate. Did you think of getting wider tyres and not cutting your flares down?

So satisfying watching this 🤙

Agreed with @chowly, a great video. I picked up lots of little ideas. Loved the angle sitting on the wheel arch, I might copy that idea ;) and the nifty extrusion cutting gig.

Great idea starting with a mock-up! So many times I have an idea in my head, or a drawing on paper that I think is a perfect solution, but it isn’t until you live and interact with objects in a space that you can truly achieve the most functional designs. I’m so excited for the future episodes!

Great video production, build design, and construction techniques - your circular saw jig is super clever! It definitely is a bit more involved working with aluminum, but that massive savings in weight seems well worth it! Subscribed!
