Just been quoted £2400 ish for a NEW 3/4 pop top with bed supplied and fitted by O'Connor's, anyone know of other firms that can do the same or an alternative?

Try Timber Tech on here, he comes highly recomended. Not sure if he does pops but he does high tops.

No hole in roof , got the 'how to camper ..' book on CD , had a look and agree it dont look to hard just not sure im confident enough to do it myself, any chance of some pics inside outside etc. £ 220 sounds more like it

cheers

the one i did came with a metal frame which you just need to mark out and cut round. then pot rivit it into place. i've found the hardest part is making the carpet look like its ment to be in there!

i will take some pictures of it finished.

Steve,
I think the only one that will not cover a front sunroof is the Westy California and you may have a bit of a search on your hands.
