Spaceroof potop info - any good?

Post by Shinnster »

Hi all,

has anyone used or know someone that's used spaceroofs in okehampton to fit one of their roofs to our vans?
I'm deciding whether to take the plunge and get a roof fitted to mine, and they seem to be the only company i can find that does their own roofs and has a fitting service.
its a lot of money to lay out so I'm trying to find some good info about them before committing to it.

I've got one on my van, the roof, canvas and hinges are all nicely made but the bed board set up isn't the best.

My van was a poptop already so I retained the bed setup from the old roof.ImageImage

It seems leike it is the exact copy of the westfalia tub.
With that you can have some smaller chairs, table, bbq there.

Absolutely, as said Westy copy. Comes with some tie down loops.
