Do any of you guys have a Leisure drive poptop? How do you get on with it? Does it leak? Is it noisy when driven or when up camping? In fact any info on these would be good. Oh and how much would you expect to pay for one?

Thanks Steve

Hope they are Ok as I have just agreed to buy it

I've got one. Don't know if it's noisy - only one I've known! I think the rubber seal round the bottom edge causes a bit of wind roar at motorway speeds and when camping and it's windy the canvas can flap a bit if it's gusty but I have a stick to help tension it that helps. The stick was originally to help the gas-struts hold the roof up when our canoe is on top.

The skylight flange had leaked/was leaking when we got the bus five odd years ago - I stripped it off and rebedded with some good urethane goo - no probs since.
Roofs seem to go for £100 to £200 ish - depends on type, condition etc etc...

LeisureDrives ROCK !!!!
Im Biased Mind !!!
To be honest they dont have Westy Cool, but if you want a camper, not a bling waggon ! then good value for money !!!!
When they get to this age, [mines 22 now !] its more about condition and how they have been looked after, when i got mine it was all rust and muck, with old mouldy toast behind the fridge !! ,,,, but im onto it now !
[still rusty... but the toasts gone !! !!

ps no offence to brickyard modded up merc alloyed bling waggens !!
I LOVE EM, but just cant justify the effort + dosh !!
