Pop top or High top - Opinions...

Re: Pop top or High top - Opinions...
High. I didn't buy a camper just to carry on sleeping in a tent...

Pop. I bought a camper, not a double decker bus.
Re: Pop top or High top - Opinions...
But going on holiday in a double decker is the height of cool! Just look at that trendy young Cliff Richard chap and his groovy mates...

Re: Pop top or High top - Opinions...
Everyone knows you have to be over 70 to legally own a hightop camper.
I prefer the ability to get into seaside car parks with height restrictions, and what I imagine would be better mpg.

High.
and dills05 there's really enough threads on this site for you to use the search facility for even more reasons (some obscure ones even).
For sheer VW looks it has to be a tin top Aircooled panel (plaything)
For summer cool a pop top
For all year round camping without storage stress a high top

Re: Pop top or High top - Opinions...
I have had both but prefer pop top as we like to sleep up top and we find the pop top bed has more head room

Re: Pop top or High top - Opinions...
high all the way, where else would you store the ' swingball'. Not convinced that the mpg is any different on any of them.

no-one mentioned a single cab pickup
It is by will alone that I set my 'van' in motion!
