Biggest roof bed? Auto-Sleeper? Autohomes? etc

Post by MrBanana »

Morning!

Looking for a high top, which has the largest bed?

Doesn't look like the Trident has boards that pull forward (is that right?).

Like the AutoHomes conversion... but which of ANY High Top conversion has the biggest bed?

And could an adult sleep in any of them?

Thanks all

Can't comment on high tops, but the pop top on our Autohomes Kamper is pretty huge:

My Auto-Sleeper VT20 solid-sided pop-top has only got room for 2 children or 1 adult in the roof. Kevtherev has an A/S Trident & I'm sure that it does have a board that pulls forward to enlarge the 'upstairs' sleeping area. There are 4 of them in his family & they all kip in the van.

The hitop roof Timbertechnicians fit has a bed ~4ft wide x 6ft long. Headroom is usually the issue, the leisuredrive and Timbertech ones are probably about similar (except Mocki's of course :lol: )

My A/S Trident hightop has pull forward board, I am 6'4 and managed to get up there lying down (obviously) but I recon under 6 footers only. My prob is my feet are too big for the shallow end (at the back) so I can't turn over.

T'roof is for the little one in a couple of years when he moves upstairs.
