What kind of roof is this?

Post by **NeilC** » 28 Jan 2009, 16:45

I've been wondering for a while now exactly what type of roof is adorning the top of my van. I'm reasonably sure it started off life as a panel van and was converted sometime in the mid 80s.

From the side:

When up:

It's mostly fibreglass with wooden sidewalls and plastic windows. I've never seen one the same before. Has anyone else come across its ilk?

Has it got an Autosleeper interior as well?

Thanks to everyone for the comments.

It doesn't have an autosleeper interior - I think the roof is the only thing autosleeper about it. The original interior was pretty naff and everything was covered with nasty 25-year-old carpet full of all kinds of debris. Since then it's been refitted with custom-made units which were installed in quite a hurry (long story) and we're still working on it. But it's very serviceable as it is, mainly cosmetic things to do.
