It’s hard to write and I know one day I will probably regret this. I bought this Troopy as a fun project during Covid, and it ended up taking me to so many amazing locations all across Australia. This unique Arkana Troopy is truly one of a kind! This is the ultimate vehicle to take you around Australia. It turns heads everywhere it goes and is often the center of attention, smiles and thumbs up all around! The extra space makes for a comfortable living area to hide away when the weather is poor and the large awning and slide out kitchen mean you will be hosting camp cookouts with all your camping neighbours! Having a trusty Landcruiser 4x4 system allows you to comfortably travel off road and reach some of Australias best camp spots!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArkana Background:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArkana body works were located in Perth and built these awesome conversions for tourist and mining companies around Australia.
