So we are going to keep Betty but really need a good cheap welder in South Hampshire as she is well rusty

Any suggestions anyone? bushaus is full for the next 12 years and the local bodywork shop wanted £2000 and I had to provide panels, and a further £2000 for a blow over.

Here is the dilema, we bought Betty last April with a full years MOT to see if we could use a camper as our only vehicle. She needed work (panels, roof, paint job, new curtains), but seems OK. After spending over £350 on breaks, new exhaust system, slave cylinder for clutch, Betty has taken us over ...

Hi Katie, I too have a hard sided pop-top, just not so hard on top where all the wood has rotten. After trying to find an exact replacement unsuccessfully, I have opted for a devon replacement. I'm taking my roof off in bits, so if you are interested in some to help repair your roof, give me a shout...

[quote="Fritz"]I will be attempting this process in the next couple of weeks with the 'Grumpy Midgets' brothers T25 Devon roof, and replacing it with a high top of his choice.

What's he doing with his devon roof?

Now I am impressed I can't even get photo's uploaded

Measuring up for the plywood as we speak.

Thanks Leroy, it's just what I wanted, and I can just picture it. I imagined the top layer, but couldn't think how to make it sit to the metal without drilling holes.

Now for the Devon roof and a welder in Hampshire !!!

I've finally given up on the idea of getting a cheap Kamper pop top, so will replace my rotten roof with a Devon, as soon as I get my sweaty palms on one :) But.....I'm thinking of taking the rotten one off ready, and getting the guttering replace as it's all rotten. But what do I fill the hole with...

Daz, where are you based? I've got some welding for someone upto the task

[quote="Rufus"]Our new van (the purple people eater) needs rear seatbelts. We are completely cackhanded and as we don't want our children flying over our heads (with seatbelts firmly attatched) when we next need to do an emergency stop, we don't want to have a go ourselves. If you have a w...

if you copy and paste the whole address (not just the hot link) into the address bar it works then.

It has to be pop top, the wallet has spoken, and he just doesn't like the look of the hard tops. But here is the dilema, do I pay £1200 to repair the rotton hard sided Kamper conversion. (Warmer than a tent, safer for the childen, and sides open for ventilation on a hot day), or go for a tent sided ...

[quote="timboukvw"]do it yourself. just done mine. had a donor camper that i got all the bits from. just cut the hole in the roof tonight and nearly finished pot riviting the tent bit down. be done by tomorrow. But where o where to find a donor??? I've been told a Devon will fit straight o...

If you used Duck Tape in silver instead of gaffer tape, could look quite good! think I'll be giving that a go myself!
