Re: pop top screens
Got one just before chrimbo but haven't had a chance to use it yet. Must help though, will keep it warmer and quieter in winter, cooler and darker in the summer. Just got to go camping to try it out.

Re: pop top screens
They are a little awkward to fit, most end up sagging under their own wait leaving a gap at the top and looking a mess. The best either press-stud or have fasteners along the top edge for better fitment OR you can modify them your self to fit better.
Yes they are worth it but if you are like us you will only use it on the coldest of camps
They are also very effective at keeping the canvas dry and everything waterproof.

we use ours all the time, has reduced the amount of condensation no end. in the summer it helps keep the van cool and dark, avoiding those 5 am summer wakeups

I'd really like to get one of these for my Devon, keep the kids asleep for longer. Where would you recommend? Looks like I have a scruffier looking version of your van.
