Hey Theo, long time bud.
Looking so good, is that the company that makes the A*u C%b or a bloody good and cheaper look alike???
Just in from the Kalahari and made my entry into solar before the trip, What did you do on your 70 series today?, I'm sold, but really dig your low profile panels.
Did a Khubu island, Gweta, Mopipi, Central, Khutsi run. The H150 did well and confirmed and justified the switch from R151.

Hiya George.
That looks and sounds like you had a blast - obviously I am instantly green untill I remember that we got a booking for Mapaya no 1 from 4 to 11 Jan 2020 to look forward to.
I think Alu Innovations have taken things to a completely new level altogether,which I think can only be good for the industry in the long run.When others refused to even look at developement outside of their current offerings, Alu Innovations jumped at the chance to innovate and create a new product. The result speaks for itself.

Just how long is a troopy, from the back of the seats to the back door. In other words, if you did not have a roof top tent, could you comfortably sleep " In the back" given a suitable platform.

George, it is not impossible (provided you are not related to Goliath)but when you start adding the fridge etc etc then although still not impossible it becomes uncomfortable for 2 people IMHO - I had enough of leopard-crawling during my army days.If you build a level double bed sized sleeping platform, to go over a fridge & drawers etc, capable of catering for a two week overlanding trip, then you will be leopard-crawling to get in and out of your Troopy or completely unpacking everything every time you want to sleep - where is the fun in that ?

Work continues slowly in terms of visual progress ...
Ontop of the camera and clothing bag we turned some dead area into a permanent nestling cradle for the laptop where is will be out of harms way and the perfect place to work from...
The standard Engel Drawer fridge slides are only rated for 30 kg which was not sufficient for my liking.Finding higher rated slides in the required length and thickness proved to be a mission but eventually we found 65kg slides - that should eliminate any possibillity of rattles on bad corrugations.
Finding slamlock HD latches that looks aesthetically good on all drawers is proving to be another mountainous challenge ....
these are just too large for the smaller drawers so the search continues ...

Finally we are sort of done ...
Instead of the usual flip-up extended bed panel, we decided to rather store our fold up aluminum table in that area ...

Thanks, we did not have to cut away anything as my spare wheel was factory mounted under the belly so the door was clean inside.

Alu Innovations have done a bunch of 76 ser rear doors where they have had to remove that same bracing so removing it can be done. You can then use the new cupboard's outer edge to brace it again if you want but I do not think it is needed.
