Klarmann Automotive Solutions launches Troopy Interior Kit

Klarmann Automotive Solutions has made a name for itself in the 4x4 market as top-notch custom installers, especially with Troop Carriers.

Based in Perth, the company has often been asked to manufacture a Troopy Interior Solution Kit that can be shipped to customers who can’t come to the shopfront.

The challenge with this solution was that once the plumbing and 12V electrics were installed, the storage units usually could not be taken apart. However, this interior solution is versatile and designed so that it can be taken apart once the electrics and the plumbing are installed. This enables Klarmann Automotive Solutions to freight the kit anywhere in the world, and for it to be DIY-installed easily with premium in-house backup support.

“Customers are getting a state-of-the-art electrical and plumbing system which has been proven over years, while at the same time have a storage solution which is easy to maintain and extremely practical to use,” said Heiner Klarmann, Managing Director of Klarmann Automotive Solutions.

Another important aspect of this kit is the floor panel supplied by Odyssey Custom Fitouts, which enables Klarmann Automotive Solutions to mount all of the cabinets to set positions within the Troopy while keeping the mounting holes in the vehicle in the same position.

The lightweight Troopy Interior Kit is made from powder-coated aluminium and includes lockable drawers and top-access lockable storage boxes. Plus it offers plenty of storage space with access from the front seats, the inside and through the rear left-hand side door for quick access. The fridge can be accessed from the inside or a left-hand-side gullwing window.

The unit offers plenty of battery storage and a hot water system with two pump circuits to separate shower/dishwashing and drinking water. These can be carried in two separate tanks, or one tank for drinking and external jerry cans for shower/dishwashing water.

The complete kit retails for $13,250 for Australian purchasers and $12,500 for international customers. The reason it costs more for Australian purchasers is that the kits have to have an additional vented battery compartment due to new regulations. Freight is not included in these prices.

The complete kit contains the following products

• 2 x Redarc BCDC chargers
• EGON Relay Hub
• EGON DC-Hub
• 10L Duetto Water Heater
• EGON Water Hub Kit
• 2 x 200Ah Amptron LiFePO4 batteries
• Victron 100/30 MPPT
• Victron Cerbo GX & Touch 50 monitoring system
• 3KVA Victron MultiPlus Inverter / Charger
• ARB twin piston compressor with tank
• Webasto Diesel Heater
• Travel Buddy
• Up to 90 Litre National Luna fridge

“We have chosen the best products from the best manufacturers instead of sticking to one brand, as we want everything to be as perfect as it can be,” added Heiner Klarmann. “Victron makes the best inverters/chargers, MPPTs and system monitoring systems; Redarc makes the best DC/DC chargers; and EGON has the best power and water distribution systems.”

The kit can come prewired with multicore cables to the roof and the dash and a charger supply cable to the start battery, so that integrating dash switches for items such as roof lights and connecting solar panels is very easy. The kit can also be supplied without any plumbing or electrics installed.
