42" long x 49" wide, which is wider than most other apertures.

thanks big herb. do you think that'll cause me problems then when fitting a westy pop top? I know one or 2 members have fitted a westy to an autohomes kamper but perhaps they had to do some modification?

I expect you will have to reduce the width with some infill plates.

oooh, gets more and more complicated!

Are infil plates something you can buy as an item or are they always a bespoke item?

You would have to make them out of thin steel strip and weld them in.
