The VW factory fitted (I think) high top would probably suit but I don't know where you'll get one unless you just wait for one to come up. I think being factory fitted it's metal and gives head clearance along the entire length of the vehicle but you could easily put shelves / cupboards in it.

The lid on mine isn't the highest of high tops.... might be worth checking out who did the roof on the Autocruiser Diamond RV conversion?

Holdsworth at 7ft 10in overall height is the lowest factory fitted Hightop that I know of. Not sure if there is one lower than that made as an after market fit.

That's correct, Mocki has the highest high top in the world. :lol:

Could you not just lower the suspension or fit smaller wheels...you could then go for a higher top = more headroom.
