| I am in need of advice about my roof on the camper bus. Could it be changed from a fiberglass pop top to a full skylight and if so what manufacturing businesses would someone recommend. If not, is a replaced tin roof possible? Or should the original pop top cover be restored and used. We live in Texas where heat and humidity causing mildew, not to mention rust.Thank you for your responses. |

The upper bed plywood is structural on late Westfalias, I guess you could replace it with 1" thick Lexan, but it would be like an ez bake oven in there.
A restored pop top doesn't leak, mildew usually results from sitting, use the bus regularly and it shouldn't be an issue.
