She's DONE? Tour of the interior of my 4x4 Troop Carrier | Overlanding Australia Diaries

Welcome to the next chapter of the preparation for my Australia overlanding expedition in my trusty Troopy (Toyota LandCruiser GXL 70 series, 78 model Troop Carrier) NEILA.
This is the run down of the interior, why I've chosen what I've chosen, including the hot water system, fridge, joinery and storage spaces and more.
I feel I'm prepared...probably too prepared. However it will be my home for the next few years so I wanted to ensure I start with a really solid foundation that should last me throughout the years.
Let me know your thoughts!

/// ABOUT ME ///
Hey, I'm Sorelle! For the past 14 years, I've been a nomad, spending 8 years as a digital nomad and exploring 60 countries. My journey to achieving location independence began at 19 and became a reality at 28. In 2017, I won the Best Job on the Planet, traveling to 12 luxurious homes worldwide. My business journey started with self-portraiture, pioneering the Advanced Selfie, and teaching over 10,000 individuals. I've mentored 65,000 students on mastering their online presence. At 33, I retired, becoming a millionaire by 30 through strategic investments. After a challenging romantic and business separation at 34, I rediscovered my passion for teaching and wealth building. Now at 35, I'm exploring Australia in my car, NEILA, and guiding others to become free humans.

One of the most Unique channels im glad to have found years ago! Keep it going Sorelle! 🙌🏼

[@SorelleAmore]

Thanks so much 🎉🎉

[@AnandanotAmanda]

The plain beige look is perfect. Minimalism is best in a small space to not feel claustrophobic or messy

[@royevetts4900]

you could put a valve at the base of the shower hose on a tee where it connects to the unit and then put a hose through the base of the troopy floor, just open the valve up once you've finished using it. You can also get a tent extension and fly screen custom made for the back of Troopies, it gives you the ability to cook without getting hammered by flies or mozzies.

[@meals1459]

That’s exactly right that the build never ends and you’re constantly tinkering. Once you’ve figured out a way to resolve the shower leaking issues, I reckon hit the road for a few weeks, all different types of locations. See what it’s like to actually live in Neila and tinker a bit more…. Then go again for a few weeks. Rinse and repeat and I think by then you will feel more at ease with the set up, the homely aesthetics will come too ❤ I’m so freaking excited for you

[@SorelleAmore]

Love this. So much is learned from doing little trips away!!

[@BenStinnett]

Can't wait for my OGS bags to make it over here to the US. They are definitely the best storage solution for those rear windows!

[@SorelleAmore]

SOOOOOO good!

[@MACLifestyle123]

It may be beige, but it’s the best shade of beige. So clever, love this 💯

[@TinaLeder]

I love how organized this is😅

[@SorelleAmore]

I more impressed how you held the hot tea kettle while pouring the water in your cup...

Haha I’m a pro! 😎

[@slowtravelvlogs]

Thanks for sharing your journey with Neila, Sorelle! I appreciate you ❤

[@SorelleAmore]

Thanks for being heeeereee!

[@aishas5071]

You can also consider and look into sprouts and micro green for off grid times and all times actually. They are super nutritious. There a lots of options and easy to grow. Sprouts are ready in only a couple of days. Options such as alfa alfa, radish, broccoli, moong beans, red lentils, pea shoots, sunflower greens and on and on and on basically.

[@SorelleAmore]

Yes yes yesss!!! Doing that for sure!

[@neiljohnson5000]

Hey, I'm loving your videos and realness... I think so many just exist but you're living life on your terms. Travel, experiences and sharing it all. So inspiring! Thanks Sorelle

[@ChristopherKueber]

Congrats! Enjoy your time with her and all that comes your way, the good and I feel especially the bad. You learn so much on those trips that don’t go the way you intended or overcoming unforeseen problems. Those are the moment I cherish and remember the most, even more then those picture perfect times. Also Such an amazing feeling when you get to that place of unconnecting and connect to what really matters. Where you can see a bit ahead of your time and space and just feel you are meant to be in that moment. Much love to you and your journey !❤

[@brandonjohnson4996]

Regards your shower issue, have a look at AusJ's (same company as your Duoetto water heater) for their 'EZY RV Exterior Shower Outlet'. I have it on my Troopy and if you are okay with putting another hole in the exterior of the body panel, it will fix the water leaking issue and its a perfect solution for showering and conserving your water.

[@Dairkun]

Been following you for years, but never take the time to comment. Just wanna say, I *really* admire you and the way you seem to lie your life; very inspiring! I'm always in awe every time I check in! You do music now?! Wtf! Congrats on the album! Wishing you well on the expedition. Bee safe out there!

[@SorelleAmore]

Thanks so much legend! Appreciate you being here :) And ya...thought I'd give music a little try too. Why not ;)

Love the setup and the design! Very organised and definately not messy. It's like a pocket knife car. 🚙

I hope you're safe with all of this. The car is so recognisable and screams out look at me. may you be well

[@Michael_bird_]

Negative much? Setup looks mint, channel is mint get out of here you little Harry hater

[@herenow2895]

That's a pretty cool build. I like the bat wing awning. Not seen one like that before. You could have a small one to hang a shower curtain from. Maybe ? As I'm just getting my day going, on the other side of the world, you must be getting ready to hit the hay. It's also coming to the end of summer here, so you must be heading into summer. I hope it doesnt get stupidly hot in there for you. No shortage of solar energy though :) Maybe you could have all the shower stuff completely sealed and self contained, with a drain to the outside ?

[@odlanorirom]

..nice build..."welcome to ur office, please feel at home"...😁

[@outbackjack5717]

In regards to the shower dripping. Grab a connector filled with silicon to stop drips.

[@SorelleAmore]

🥹🫶🏻🥳🥳🥳

[@MaruMashh]

Sorelle for the cushions I would suggest to find something that has beige and grey in it, as well as another colour to give it some life. That way you pull together the colours you already have inside, a simple pattern like fine lines, dots, symmetrical, will work... Great build, congrats!

[@danielbeddows2089]

Great video, and you seem really happy with how it is turning out. Love the setup, definitely a never ending process. Best wishes.

[@SorelleAmore]

Thanks Daniel :)

[@andrewlund3886]

It will never be done! I enjoy the continual change and improvements. Could you stop the water dripping inside if you made a drip loop in the hose and had the hose reaching outside the car. Suction cup or 3m tape a bracket outside the car to hold shower head?

[@antoniocrespo4441]

If the shower leaks stil, you should try to add a small drain hose or something that essentially carries any water to the bottom of the car. Like make a mini shelf that has a drainage hose where you could hang the shower head and put your toiletries in

[@SorelleAmore]

That’s a great idea!

[@cathi_ag3]

Time to reap the rewaaardddsssss! Woo!

[@margoswanderings]

@@SorelleAmore YEAH ! You go girl !!!

[@ema-b1h]

the design is smart and looks great. you wanna be minimal there- caus you need to clean often - with a good vacum that can reach little nocks dont feel you have to feel it. mold and stuff- you wanna air the car as much with windows open, also check about fans and air circling from outside when car is on. btw mold usually wont spread after you washed a cloth with mold- its just a stain! put a cloth or something where food is caus it would start making a mess, this way you can wash the cloth and not clean all the time. on the bench/bad i would put a good smart foamy foldable this mattress fit to size, you dont wanna rustle with pillow. and in general you dont wanna rustle with extra clutter - caus it would wear you out quickly

[@matthew36291]

You are amazing ! love your music and Videos

[@SorelleAmore]

Yay!! Thank you so much!!

[@ollyguy]

Hi Sorelle looks great an idea on the shower hose could be a quick coupler similar to whats used on air systems if you get the right type both sides should auto seal so youd just dissconect and hold the bottom of the hose up to drain out the shower head!

[@kakauandme]

Hard to figure out if you love your new van life or you slowly start to hate it.

[@SorelleAmore]

Exactly

[@lewiskent550]

@@SorelleAmore hi how are you feeling at the moment and how tall are you

[@ashlynnriebe]

It’s beautiful Sorelle! 🥰 Absolutely stunning, I’ve seen many people just tie a bag around the shower head to keep it from leaking 😂

[@benasleo]

Awesome build! Also, it would be cool to know how much something like this costs. Like how much you have invested so far, how much was the car and then all of the custom parts etc. A video breaking this down would be great :)

[@SorelleAmore]

I think I'd be too overwhelmed to even start counting...

[@user-ez3il1yy6i]

Awesome Sorelle !!! 👍👍

[@SorelleAmore]

Thank youuuu 🥸🥸🥸

[@whynot0969]

Love your setup, if I could my roof rack and all things on top off it, I would be soooooo on board

[@theicangram]

Just a thought. If you are going to shower outside, is it possible to house all your showering components into a tub of some type and just pull the whole thing out and use when you want to shower? Suction cup type device placed on the side of Neila when you want to have the shower wand secured above your head? Not sure how you would have it connected to your water source but might be able to figure out a solution for that. Beautiful build. I am looking forward to the coming adventures.

[@BrianFalk-mz3sj]

Hi, love your videos!! If you go further north to a town called Rossvile. There place called home rules you can stay there, it has a great waterfall and swimmin!! Enjoy😎

[@SorelleAmore]

Thanks for the tip! I'll definitely add it to my list. 😊

[@artboy18]

Very cool set, I like the fold table idea.missing only fold chair :-) enjoy the ride ! HPL

[@lorenbush8876]

I'm glad to see you are still upbeat and happy, you really tricked that thing out , I like the canopy /umbrella, whatever that is. The shower I would have to see and maybe play with it and think about it to know what is best to keep it from leaking or getting things wet, I don't have a shower in my truck, I have been looking at car haulers thinking about building a multipurpose trailer for hauling and camping, beating the high price of motels if I want to go somewhere. Do you have any gold panning or opal hunts planned? Keep on smiling and being happy, it's good for you.

[@lmalesci]

Greetings from Pontassieve, province of Florence, Italy. I own a Suzuki Jimmy 4x4 with a 1.3 LT m13a petrol engine from 2001, all original, which I use to go to the countryside, woods and mountains along the agricultural and forest roads used by timber companies.

[@SearchIndex]

You can get shower head ‘T’ that have toggle valves on them so you can either cut the water off or re-direct it to a different line Other than that one learns how to swap out gaskets (that was one of my shipboard jobs -swapping out shower gaskets)

[@MACLifestyle123]

I love this, very informative thanks babe ❤

[@michael-mn9xs]

Hey I'm just designing my own at the moment, I have induction in my house but I was thinking it would be too much of a power drain to have on the road. Would you mind telling me what type of induction you have? I've been following for a couple of years now, You taught me all about cbd c's. 😊 ❤ your work. Cheers Michael

[@jungleboots]

I'd put shower system in back of van. Maybe removable? Then when needed, ' shower box' comes out? I've seen so many types of camp showers, and I always found the types that are mobile and can be hung anywhere to be the best. What is your water source? How much water storage do you have, or do you need to hook up to spigot?

[@SorelleAmore]

Yeah, I like the removable option too to be honest. I have 140L, so it’s pretty good. And just need to find water anywhere there is a tap. So that’s pretty doable :)

[@jungleboots]

@@SorelleAmore Well, I hope for the best result sistar🤙🏽 Just want to add that I've watched and thoroughly appreciated and have been inspired by your past videos.....and, when I can find time from building onto my 'rooted' cabin (this nomad is settling down for a bit), I will be enjoying your future journeys. 🌺 Forward on, to new horizons! 💪🏽Aloha

If you actually do take your beastie offroad in your travels I would strongly suggest that all of your offroad recovery gear be stowed somewhere that's easily reached, like the very rear of your troopy for example. You'll know what I'm talking about if you ever get into a situation where you need to use your recovery gear lol
