VW Transporter POPTOP. TOP 5 most GOOGLED questions. 

I have a Pucer thermal over for mine, great investment. Keeps the 'tent' warmer when it’s cold, cooler when it’s hot and protects the canvas from rain. Slept in mine at -6 with the diesel heater ticking over and was toasty warm. Also blocks out the light so you don’t wake up at sunrise if you don’t want to! It doesn’t do much for sound insulation though!

Spot on, we found this over the weekend testing our pop top for the first time. Wouldn’t be without it though but we did lower it before we slept “downstairs” to keep in the heat and reduce outside noise. Obviously when the kids come with us lowering it might cause issues 😂

Our T5 has a pop top the van is white and the pop top lid was black this attracted the heat on sunny days so I had it painted body colour this has made a noticeable difference to internal temperature on sunny days, the canvas is a light colour too which also helps but lets the light in in the mornings.

Love this one. Great video, answering all those questions. And your right it does look awesome, great choice!

I’ve had an Austop for 2 years now and the roof it’s self is a game changer in a SWB T6. The solvent smells do gradually disappear but I totally get where you’re coming from. Yes it’s dam cold but when it is down I think it adds to the insulation properties. Also yes the canvas does weep when it’s heavy rain but not that bad. I can honestly say if it was used to sleep every trip then without a doubt definitely go for a cover. Ours was fitted by a clown and I do worry that it might not be as strong as it could be. The front brace instead of using set screws to screw into the captive nuts fitted in the factory they have used tech screws through the brace and into the vehicle structure. I like the idea of that froli sprung bed, we were not told about that option when we had ours fitted. I have seen too many poptops with roof racks and boxes fitted, the way I think about it is that anything like that increases the forces trying to open the roof as you drive a long. Does your roof creek at all especially when manoeuvring slowly over bumps?

Great video! Thanks very much for the detailed overview

great video as usual very well presented. the black top definitely was the right decision

Great video mate, can’t think of anything you left out. If anyone was on the the fence about buying a pop top then this will help them decide for sure 👍🏻

Very informative vlog, totally agree with everything you said 👍🏻

Hey Bud, I have a Reimo Poptop and they also offer thermal mats for each model. No probs with staying outdoors with temperatures below 0°C. But I also have an Autoterm 2D installed in my T6😉

Great video I think pop tops are a trend if you have a sink etc you couldn’t stand and use it. It changes a camper into a tent, it’s like the must have mod. I can see it if you have kids if not a awning with sides is much better as a useable area

Rainbow blinds Great Product

With our lwb sprinter we have noticed the atek roof is noticeably cooler than downstairs even with the diesel heater on. Getting heat into the roof is prooving a challenge

When’s the ovano draw vlog mate just ordered one

Really should have my T5 sorted out with one ... nights are pretty sweaty here in Spain and would value that massive amount of air flow!

Rainbow screens do a decent poptop cover

hi uao im thinking of getting my van popped but yes i do have a lot of questions .like is this poptop any good . is it noisy .does it leak . is it better than a westdubs poptop ? its alot of money and very vital to your van so getting it wrong isnt an option .you would know better than me so was looking for abit of advice . on which top to go for .my budget is 5k ?? or would i be better buying a horizon top .?

I hope that bed is more reliable than a " Ferolli boiler" 🙂

I’m now looking at mattress’s

How much does a pop top add to the weight of the van?

Do you have a swb or long?

Does a diesel heater keep u warm in the pop top?

What weight can a pop top carry ?

How much did you pay for your van ?

As the saying goes.... buy cheap, buy twice!
