| I have a 71 pop top camper with the upper cot and I want to replace the top with a 74 or newer top that has the full size bed. Is this just a bolt on swap or is there more to it? Anyone done this before? I searched but didn't find anything so if there is something out there please direct me to it. |

'74 and later poptops are a pain to put on. I would wait for an earlier top to show up. |

from a partial Samba search under "early vs. late poptop" is this pronouncement from theizzardking:
won't fit,
go here though.

Also some interesting material over on the "library" section of http://www.type2.com/
OTOH it might be easier to fabricate a larger bed upstairs; Westfalia did this on their "Continental" models. From a Samba search of "Continental bed" comes http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=275900&highlight=continental+bed
Samba search and Sawzall may be your best friends in this endeavor. Have fun. |
