Sorry haven't been around so much. Sleeping in the top bunk was mostly for my daughter. I did sleep there a few times and it was great once you did your yoga to get up there and in place. Temps are very different without a vent. But all in all well worth it to have a hard top. Thanks
Yeas, island is not in EU or the U.S. but we use many of the EU regulations, I know that some have experienced problems at the autobans in Germany and elsewhere because of some of the tires are not dot stamped.

Awesome. Did you just use little L brackets inside the cabinets to secure them to the walls? What kind of fasteners? And what about the overhead storage bins? How are they fastened to the roof? Any pics of this?
I also Am wondering how you attached the cabinetry?
After having the penthouse top on it for a few months I happened across a pop top for a Eurovan. After a days work these were the results. I am much happier with the fit and ease of raising the top now. Some people prefreer the top to raise straight up. I found with my floor plan it works just as well.
I really like this topped because it reminds me of a Westfalia. Ah I miss my VW camper.
By the way, what kind of rims are those? Make/model please?
Sorry to come in so late on this, but can anyone provide info about the fridge in that way-cool Ford van? Am I correct that the temp. control knob is on the outside at the top of the unit? Any info regarding make, model, etc would be greatly appreciated.

I love everything you built-you are a true craftsmen ! I also have a 79' Ford E250 Quadravan 4x4 that I'm working on. I'd like to put a poptop on my van also so I was hoping I could ask you just a couple questions. I live in Reading, Pa., but was wondering how you found the pop up tops for your van ? Also did you just use the canvas that came with the top ? Why did you like the bubble top more ? Did the bubble top affect your gas mileage (and did that contribute to you going to a sprinter?)?
Any help or idea's you can give will be greatly appreciated, thanks.
It looks like this thread is dead ? No one answering any ? 's I know I contacted you about doing a conversion but I was thinking of trying it myself and just wanted some advice on the poptop- is anyone at all reading this ??
