- ✌🏻 Part 2 - We are starting to install the utilities into the car, and show you all the thought behind the build process. Make sure you watch until the end to see the big reveal, you honestly won't believe what we are installing inside this car.
🛠️ Welcome to our Troopy Build Series. We are Sam and Sophie and we are taking on the ultimate build of our 2022 Toyota Troop Carrier.
🚙 Follow along to see us transform this car into our home on wheels.
🪚 We are tackling the Ultimate Interior Fitout all by ourselves with a complete DIY setup. From the framing to electrical, we are going to do it all. You wont believe what are putting into this car!
📍 We have many more episodes to come, subscribe to keep up to date with how this build goes. It may just be the best one yet.

You're giving me some great ideas for my build over here in the US. I've been researching 12v AirCon units like crazy and am going to do a similar install. That truma unit looks nice!
Be careful putting any load on the plastic connectors. My first two builds I used the same alloy tubing and connectors but all joins that took weight or shock loads eventually cracked. I now use metal connections or 80/20.
amazing skills. Your Troopy is your oasis from the elements, including insects, heat, and cold. Your nest. It needs to be comfortable. Kudos for the aircon! Will make life on the road so much more enjoyable and will add to the longevity of your adventures. Does it heat as well? that would be the ultimate!
Thanks so much, yea exactly our thinking, and as we plan on living it for a very long time, just those creature comforts make all the difference.
Yea it work even more efficiently on heating 👌🏼 so win win
Will be there an update on what you did with the air vent?
It takes up a lot of space . . . . But it will be useful . . . not sure whether space taken will equal usefulness. . . . Build is going great
Yea it sure does, we travel very light, we can't even fill the Troopy with gear, so for us personally the space was available and we still have empty draws so it will hopefully come in handy on the road.
Loved the beard blow 😂 can’t wait to see the final product!
What’s the advantage of the air tank? I have the same compressor.
the advantage of the air tank is less running time on the air compressor and quicker inflation, but it not a necessity. More of a convenience
Nice build, looking good. Did you consider the Ecoflow wave airconditioner?
Cheers mate, no never actually heard of that! Will have to look into it. Seems quite cool at a quick glance
Where are you guys?
Keep up the great work guys!
Thanks guys!
Well done guys looks great! What pipework/fittings did you use for the water system?
Thanks! We have used 12mm John guest pipe and John Guest fittings for all our water systems!
You are truly a beautiful couple and this build is a work of art. I have watched hundreds of YT videos while I waited 18 months for my Troopy to arrive and this is the first AC I have seen in a Troopy. Quite a few in Vans but I feel your build is unique 👌
Looks great! Exciting. What kind of magnet did you use for the vent?
Cheers mate! We just went to our local hardware store and found a round magnet a bit smaller than a 5c piece that was quite strong
