Roof Conversion
What helps make the Troopy a perfect candidate for a camper conversion are the fiberglass doors, and tailgate along with its bare-bones interior. With nothing inside to get wet, adding a new roof to the Troopy into a camper is easy. Especially when you have the right materials and design.
The interior as it sits six people. It is not the most spacious, but it does offer enough space to fit six people and their luggage. With a roof conversion, additional space can be put in to add even more gear.
Advantages of Troopy Conversions
The pros of the Troopy Toyota Landcruiser conversion start with its powerful engine and automatic transmission. Of course this makes it easy to drive even under rough conditions.
The independent front suspension and live rear axle with coil springs makes driving over uneven terrain a snap. You can even go with low range gearing for off-road driving when power is needed to climb steep hills.
Finally, the hill descent system makes for better controlled conditions when driving downhill you won’t lose control of the vehicle.
Disadvantages of Troopy Conversions
However, there are some issues with the Troopy conversions that start with its high price tag. Which is not surprising given the materials used to build it and the high demand from consumers.
Add to this the downgraded suspension and lack of power steering in some models make it more difficult to control under certain conditions.
It is noisy and difficult to park along the street, which makes it less suitable for driving in congested areas. But for those who love adventure, it is the lack of interior space in terms of passengers and the cargo area. This makes it uncomfortable for long trips.
It is this final disadvantage that can be rectified in part by going with a roof conversion that turns the Troopy into a camper.
