NAPS topper superb for poptops

Awww Branston flat out ❤

Ace mate, that’s my kind of hike quiet and peaceful, hoping you are all ok 👍

Hopefully see you at the festival my mate x

Colin you’ve massively disappointed me being the worldly wise, well rounded man that you are, have you never tried jam and cheese on the same sandwich!

Feck it how I laughed when you said you hit the cows and then wrote it on the screen 😂

Yea, our favorite Yorkshire Teapot Man pops a pop-up mattress in the pop-top!. nice video Colin Yorkshire Dales are stunning

I bought one of those Duvalay toppers - game changer!

Love the walk…makes me quite home sick xx

I use the berghaus SIM great but a bit pricey also Colin it’s recommended not to use your breath to blow up as its damp I use small pump to inflate a bit😊

New mattress looks great and very comfy!!! Brilliant walk - love the Dales 👍

We've had our self Inflating mattress for about a year now and we've always thought it was just about ok, but we never thought of blowing it up further! 🙄 - Until tonight.... Well done Colin, go to the top of the class lol - and thanks😄xx

Loving the pop top rap 😂

That was a lovely walk Colin -,thanks for sharing - hilarious outtakes 🤣🤣🤣💕🐾💕🐾

Your zest for van life is infectious…. Only had our van for 8 weeks and I think I’ve watched all your videos 👍

Just nicely back from a hiking trip to Corfu, not much hiking as Barb broke her toe just before departure so we mainly just chilled out, blummin hot though 😂😂👍

Hi Colin Use a small battery pump instead of breath to avoid moisture and bacteria getting into the mat.

A Panda topper is an absolute game changer in the camper. Can leave in the pop top 👌🏽❤️ Great views on the walk Colin 👍🏼

Another ace video sir 🎩

I use an Outdoor Revolution Top Of The Pop 75 SIM "upstairs" and a CampinComfort RIB 112 mattress topper on the RIB R&R bed "downstairs" from Edge Campervans. Both really comfy and highly recommended. Often sleep better than at home ( as long as I remember earplugs...) I also made the extra piece of carpeted board to fill the "gap" which works great in my Vamoose pop top. Nearly 7' of length now in a SWB T5.1. Makes a lot of difference to be able to have your feet vertical as the Vamoose is quite tight at the foot end otherwise having rear hinges ( also no lost pillows in the night ) ! Enjoyable vid as always. 👍

That mattress looks fantastic ! Really thick ! Great vid and review 👍

Fantastic vlog as usual Colin. I use a klymit static v luxe 30” wide air bed in the pop top which stays up there, so comfy. More cycling vids please, requested to follow u on Strava. Atb 🚴‍♂️😀

Looks like a perfect fit under the pop top - hope it checks out ok to sleep on. Love your walks as they always look so tranquil. Have a fantastic week, all the very best, David & Rachel 👍

Love the video, I sleep on a rock n roll bed and found it much too hard. I bought the Duvalay gold mattress, and the difference was night and day. You are 100% correct, highlighting the importance of a good night's sleep.

The Thermarest Mondo king is the best camping mat I have ever used with amazing thermal insulation R-value =7 great for cold nights. More expensive than trail but worth the extra ours is around 10 years old and still like new.

Colin great video gutted we havent got camper jam series 2 😮

Cracking review Colin 👍🏻. I've never slept in my Pop top. This is making me want to looking forward to the review mate 🤔🤔

Looking forward to the Howgill review as il booked there in Sept.

We bought an inflatable mattress early on, killed my back after a couple of nights. We've now got a double memory foam mattress from Edge Campers which we keep up in the poptop and is very comfortable, plus it takes up no space in the van.

Raspberry jam and chedder cheese makes for a boss buttie try it col you'll never go back

I am new subscriber to your channel just over a week ago and I have been binged watching your videos lol. Absolutely love your videos. I am inspired to get a VW Transporter Campervan soon. Love it 😊

I bought a 50mm topper and its pretty dam hard still

The brown cows produce the chocolate milk mate

Was hoping this would solve my problem but seems you might have the same issue. I recently had the idea of just putting an airbed up in the pop top. I figured 12V or battery airbed pump could stay in the van. Comfy and would deflate so that the pop top would go down easily. Unfortunately I ran into the issue that it raises you up too close to the pop top to get your feet in comfortably.

Fab video Colin! I don’t have a camper but one day……love yours and taking lots of notes!! Mattress looks good! Would a double fit in there?

You should set up a new channel Col. the outtakes channel, class 😅😅

Whoo hoo first again. 🎉🎉

I would SO get lost up there😅

A futon? In Yorkshire? By 'eck!

Very far related from your content in this video...... But, what do you use for getting your bumper soooooo black. Cheers Matty ✌🏼🙏🏼

Don't know how you sleep on a single mattress. I tried one and a topper.....just too narrow. The one I have now is made for the T5/T6 and fits from the big cupboard to the side. So much better now. In the poptop it does touch the canvas so couldn't store it there unfortunately.

In the wrong job, animal impersonator would surely suit better 😂 Also hate crossing through cows, especially when they decide they think you’re interesting and follow along 😮

Work for the BBC, quality 😂
