Inside Our Custom Troopy Home: Alu-Cab, Full Fit Out & Off Grid Living

Описание: Take a full walk through of @travelling_sands’ epic rig, a 2022 Toyota LandCruiser Troop Carrier transformed from a bare shell into a fully self contained off grid home. From cutting the roof off for an Alu-Cab conversion, to a completely custom DIY interior fit out, this Troopy has been built for comfort, simplicity, and real world travel.

Sam and Sophie break down the mods, layout, storage solutions, power, climate control, and the clever everyday features that make life on the road easier — without over engineering it.
