Hi
Had my first child this year, my wife and I have had our t25 for many years but we may have to sell due to the fact it only sleeps two. However is it possible to change my high top to a pop top? If so does anyone where you can buy these new and if so fae where?
Cheers

There are some companies that do new ones, but they will cost. Good second hand ones are available for a few hundred quid on ebay.
Can yours not be adapted to take a bed?
Have you also thought of a cab bunk, or changing your hightop to a larger one with a bed?

I thought high tops had a bed in the roof?
Or as Scooby said about the cab... I've seen someone make a bed that fits over the cab, was on a T4, but I'm sure it can be done on a T25
There are a few companies on eBay offering elevating roof fitting, might be worth dropping them an email for a bit of advice

I'm sure I remember someone saying that a bog standard camp bed can be easily adapted to fit across the cab.
If that is any help.

Westies certainly do, I suspect others may or may not depending on the conversion.
I'd also suspect it's a damn sight easier to build a bed into a non-bed hightop than to swap to a pop-top - especially since you'd have to be constructing some beddage in the pop anyway.
