Used Pop Top Search

[RickRoberts83]

Hey everyone!! Just purchased a 2011 E350 Media Van and I am looking to convert into a Sportsmobile like setup. Does anyone know a good place to look for a used pop top setup? New installs are out of my budget and I enjoy doing the work myself. Seems like its a needle in a haystack...

Check local junk yards - pic'n'pay yards - good luck !

I know of one available that will work for your van. I’ll send you a PM.

Check in with CCV(Colorado Camper Van) in Loveland, CO. They sometimes have customers swapping out SMB tops for their setup. I was one of them

You have an extended body (EB).....so you need an EB top.


..the regular body van is an RB.

Got it!! Thanks!!

A few folks here have installed EB tops on RBs and RB tops on EBs.....

Installing the top on the van it was designed for is challenging enough as you may imagine, esp getting the dimensions and location of the roof hole correct, since you get one shot at this.

Here is one thread about doing a transplant

Used SMB tops are usually $2K-$3.5K-ish depending on condition and whether or not it's a manual top or a power top.

Both look good, but I did appreciate your documentation on how to install the top
