Pop Top conversions???

Post by shelleybean »

Im in the process of buyiing a T3 multivan, but it doesn't have a pop top.
Ive been looking on line but Im finding it difficult to find places that do roof convertions.
Does anyone know of a reputable company that does them- in particular im after the reimo style with the flat contour.

I'm in a similar position to you.

I contacted Reimo http://www.reimo.co.uk/ a few months ago and they quoted ~£2.5k for a pop-top roof.

Seems to tally with prices from O'connors http://www.oconnorscampers.co.uk/roofs.htm

just spotted this on ebay, they are breaking their van and asking £50 for the pop top, might be worth a look at that price :)

Cheapest option will be the high top fitted by Timbertech on here, if he still does em. Some pop tops are solid sided, like the Holdsworth Conversions.
