In this video we take you through the process of fitting an unbranded pop top roof to a T5 van as part of our camper van conversion series.
Our roof was supplied by Caledonia Campers - but the same roof is available from a number of outlets and on e-bay - and consisted of everything required to complete the installation including:
- Main fibreglass roof panel - ready carpeted on the inside with scissor hinges, all hardware and canvas with front window fitted
- Front (over cabin) roof brace
- Rear strengthening bar
- Side strengthening bars x 2
- Plastic canvas attachment pieces
- Fibreglass front trim piece
- Fibreglass side trim pieces x 2
- All hardware to complete
The video covers the complete process from start to finish and is presented for information only.
Please note that my roof came without any instructions and that I have completed the installation based on my learned experience of how best to do this in order to make it easier for anyone else considering the process with the same/similar roof.
It’s an involved process - and not for the faint hearted - but if approached methodically, like most tasks in the conversion can be completed by anyone with even modest skills. Just take your time, be safe, measure twice and take your time. You could save a lot of money and end up with a great pop top as I believe I have.
Best Wishes
