Best Pop Top for a T6

[airhoguk]

I contacted Vanmax, as this is the nicest looking LWB pop top i have seen, but sadly they have dropped the LWB and only offer a SWB now....

The search continues.....

HVR customs had some stock a while back, not sure whether they have any left. They fitted my Vanmax and I think its a good roof but I am SWB

I’ve just had a Storm pop top fitted by Cosmic Campers in Derby and I’m really pleased with it.

I wouldn’t mind hearing people's preferred choice of Roofs and Beds.

I will probably be going for mine after Christmas so gonna start doing some research.

I have been advised SCA is one of the best and we'll built. I like the look of HiLo roofs but don't like the way they head clearance is compromised inside the van.

Opinions and suggestions please.

Mate I've just been to see Luke at (goose roofs) down in East Sussex and he’s just about to release a new roof to market that will blow the rest out the water amazing construction very high end
its a low roof like Hilo and as high when elevated and has a panoramic roof just amazing I’ve just ordered one
after seeing it just unbelievable construction,if you zoom in on pic your see what I mean.

So when you say panoramic roof, is that large centre area in the actual pop top going to be a panoramic panel?

Have to say that sounds awesome. I assume that there’s some internal screen to stop you waking up at 5am with a face full of sunlight.
Can’t wait to see one fitted.
Is it electric to raise/lower?

Just crossed my mind that the bed board will prevent you seeing out of the panoramic roof unless you are up in the roof, or does the bed board concertina out from the rear?

[Bav]

Thanks for posting @tiuk362 - some interesting options here and very impressive you can stand on the roof!

A few questions for you:

• I presume there is a standard bed/bed board available?
• Is the panoramic panel glass or plastic?
• Do you have any contact detains for Luke?

Cheers bud.

Looks pretty amazing.
My only criticism would be that the canvas needs some mesh zip side panels at the very least.
You don’t always want to open the scenic roof but it’s good to have fresh air venting through.
I want to buy another van just so I can have that roof.
