I've driven my hightop everyday for 3 years now and never had a problem with wind and sudden lane changes lol as others have said it must be something underneath that needs changing or upgrading. As for a vote I don't know where people with pop tops put all there stuff!!

I'll never forget that night in Wensleydale when Disco Dave & Kate's poptop closed on them during the night .... we woke up to be told it had been VERY windy overnight :shock: Same as the great Blue Hills hurricane of last year ?? :pimp

I vote high top. Personally prefer the look and style and practicality as a camper. Love that there is literally nothing to do aside crack open a beer when arriving on the campsite.

Yes the wind can be a challenge at times but the more I drive it the better I handle it. I love having to think about driving which I just don't when driving my car.

But it's each to their own and what's more important to individuals.....
