POP TOP INSTALL to my 4MOTION VOLKSWAGEN TRANSPORTER courtesy of VANIMAL CAMPERVAN CONVERSIONS.
AUSTOPS have truly made something fantastic here. Sometimes a driveway install just isn't appropriate.

I just got a similar top fitted Black roof on my white NV300 and am well happy with the look as you were I used a company in Par in Cornwall I was very happy with the build quality The name of the company is "altitude roofs" They have all their staff work on one van at a time and get a amazing job done super quick We booked a half a week holiday but they had it done same day and i would totally recommend them I did a Google review showing the work As i believe they're quite new and deserve to be seen if you are in the south west looking for a poptop or conversion

@@loopsmybrother6156 I’m not part of the brand. Regardless what my video is about. It’s unfair for someone to use it as an advert to sell something else. It’s fine if it’s just ‘another option’. Or a solution to a problem. But if it’s just spreading the word about a different product because you are part of that brand. Or a friend or family member own that company then it’s not cool. 👍🏻

A black pop top roof gets no hotter inside as long as you have the mesh side windows for ventillation. The bad news is because it is black the sunlight is absorbed along with the sun's heat into the pop top material itself, which causes problems. My black pop top and the installer that i used's van black pop top, both overheated in that intense sun in the summer. It caused the anti slip rubbers under the rear scissor mechanism supports to degrade, this caused the pop tops to be able to walk forward within the pop top bolt positioning slide holes ( driven by the struts ), even though the bolts were fitted to the correct torque, which eventually fouled the deflector causing it to not shut. The pop top had to be readjusted, new anti slip rubbers placed underneath the scissor supports and two new round locator screw holes and screws fitted in each scissor leg support, to stop it from walking forward ever again. The fitter said that this has only happened twice to him and both were black pop tops. As a belt and braces approach, I personally am going to get some insulated silver deflector material, to place over the hinge areas of the pop top, when it is hot next summer, when it is laid up.

Out of Interest, does the black canvas increase heat in the sun? I am getting a West Dubs fitted and thinking dark grey, I could go to a lighter colour but don't want the inside of the van bathed in a colour such as red or blue with the sunlight. Could go to a light grey.

@robww5921
@robww5921 Год назад
Nice! You may already know this but just in case. Always put roof down with window open or ideally sliding door open. Allows the canvass to fold in and stop getting caught in the scissors. Consider a bungee around pop top to help with this. There is a thing called a pop top bungee! Before finally pulling down tight to the frame do a quick check to ensure canvass is tucked away. Then enjoy!
@keswickadventure

A bungee rubs on the canvas - it’s the worst idea possible. Fold the canvas in properly and it will last a long time.

I have had a pop top fitted to my 70 reg Fiat Talento, which is the same van as yours I think, the one before Vauxhall was bought out by stellantis. I had a Drivelodge pop top fitted. Contact Drivelodge, they will put you onto a reputable, recommended by them fitter in your area. These vans make excellent campers, good luck ! By the way, you can get away with a 120 cm wide rib bed in these vans and have decent cupboard width as well. I went fir the rib altair bed. Much better than a rock n roll bed in comfort and accessibility to storage beneath although more expensive but worth it. You sleep on the flat underneath surface as well not on the contoured seat surface.

I have one question due to a wheelchair occupant I am limited to roof height. so if you can answer the question do you lose any height from the roof's original cross beams centrally down the length of the vehicle.
@urbanarkoverland
@urbanarkoverland 6 месяцев назад
So imagine the roof is as normal. At the pillar and at all the doors etc. then 6 inches in from that all the way around is opened up. Of course the pop top can be used without a bed frame just for head space. Hope this answers

Thanks for the reply my concern was with the roof down and travelling would I lose any headroom down the central length.

@@urbanarkoverland well I wanted two singles in my Sprinter but I couldn't get a single seat for less that a grand for the new shape and done exactly what you did and purchased the swivels from RJCampersolutions, retaining the single and a double in the front. I must say that im glad I stayed with the double as my son and I can chill out lying across all the front seats with adding a few pillows. Couldn't have done that with two singles. And you of course get three passengers in the front. Swings and roundabouts but its a campervan after all and lounging around is key.
