    Pop top for Crafter.

    Hi all, we're thinking of buying a new Crafter 4motion... (still in the planning stages) and the first thing we would want is a pop top fitted... we'll do the rest of the fit out ourselves - done two VW's already - and that way we'll get it "just the way we want it"....
    Anybody have any recommendations for a pop top fitter ? ... we're in Victoria but are willing to travel, I've been in touch with the guys at Ballina fibreglass and they seem very competent ... however is there anybody closer ???
    Any, and all, ideas, suggestions gratefully received ...

    thanks.

    If you buy the LWB high roof Crafter.......you won't need a pop top!

    I have to agree, id be looking at a High roof, water tight, no canvas to worry about or dry.

    Easy to put in skylights, and add a decent amount of solar panels.

    It's also a hell of a lot cheaper than a pop top, i added a Midroof to my build when i ordered it instead of a pop top, best thing i did.

    Thanks guys.... yes the "high roof" is also on our radar, as I said...it's still in the planning stages, I rang a couple of VW dealers in Melbourne yesterday and they say the 4motion version of the new Crafter will be available in June / July... so we'll keep doing our research and decide in a couple of months.... in the meantime our roof-top tent on our Landrover is getting a lot of use... off to the high country again soon...Limestone Creek track, lovely spot to get "away from it all"...

    cheers

    This is an older Crafter but this guy's build in the UK sprung to mind with your question here.

    I especially liked the hint about gutting a written off caravan.
