Nice work, thanks for the photos, I like all those storage compartments Do you miss the extra bed width that you've lost though?

Our lpg tank is in the wardrobe and I'm toying with the idea of removing the wardrobe to see if that'll make it easier to fit a 3 point seatbelt on that side of the van. I would then box around the lpg tank, if it would be possible without causing problems for the seat belt.

you seem to have made a small bed smaller
do you sleep in the van alone?

thats what I thought!

My wife doesn't like my "pokey" van she prefers our "spacious" caravan with all the bells and whistles. We used to have a 5 berth motorhome but my wife didn't like cycling or going on the scooter we dragged around with us so we sold it and bought the caravan which I don't like towing. I bought the VW just for me and have changed it to suit my needs. Since I always sleep with my feet under the parcel shelf the slight reduction in width is not a problem. The parcel shelf and locker are easily removed when I am using it as a van and not camping.

Hi all, after years with an LT28 got an 85 Autosleeper trooper and a million questions. everything in this thread is about tridents, any Trooper readers?

they're the same thing
troopers just had less stuff as standard
mine doesn't even have a name!

C'mon Rev.Jones, the Auto-Sleeper Trooper & Trident are not the same. The Trooper is a solid sided pop-top whereas the Trident is a high-top. Basically, the VT20 became the Trooper & the VHT became the Trident.

I realise that you have had a momentary lapse (senior moment) Kev. By the way, your van (Carol Camper) is a VHT as you told me years ago.

OK I agree, it is different, scratch what I said.
I was thinking of the fittings, they became similar after the alcove seat was dropped from production

super trooper, da da da, da da da.

I'll get my coat

errr yeah think you better

I think the late nights of racing against time to get the van ready for the weekend have finally pushed me over the edge You have to admit it's a good song though

Id rather have iron madens version of the trooper any day

Ladies & Gents

Have a 1990 Trident which I love to bits, great to go away with her indoors and also on boys fishing trips

My question (apologies if covered in the past), I really would like to have both front seats reupholstered with the springing firmed up

Any ideas of cost and workshops in the South London area, failing that that anywhere !!

Cheers
