While I went and done it and pulled the trigger on an Alu-Cab Hercules roof conversion for the troopy. After looking at a bunch of interior fit outs I decided what the hell I have a bunch of saws and a fairly good grasp on Math. The basic boxes and floor plate are roughed in. The tall box will get 2 -11" deep drawers for clothes and a pull out table. Looking at laminate samples to pick one to cover all the wood that will show.
Also done a bunch of research on Lithium batteries and solar and DC to DC chargers, as well a rigid solar panel for the roof of the conversion.
I should have the Alu-Cab conversion by mid-month and then comes the gut wrenching job of cutting the top off a perfectly good troopy. The local shop quoted me $7K for the install and I have all the tools and time to DIY it.
I will document the process here incase someone else ever wants to tackle this job.
The first picture is of the 12" high sleep deck I built prior.
