Anyone use this one for a T4 Eurovan camper (mine is 1999)

Or have good experience with poptopworld?

Acrylic much better than a new oe canvas? For ~400.

The invoice for the top denotes two separate payments. One is for the poptop and shipping from Germany to Colorado. That is what I paid for.

The second payment is for installation. So one could argue that the matter of installation is separate from ownership. But I do not physically possess the top--it's at Cole's shop (Cavevan).

Given what I know about how busy he is, I would think he'd be fine with letting go of one poptop install opportunity. But that's just speculation.

My repair is still holding strong.. The paint i put on was in haste originally and has flaked off the top but still looks good. Repair looks as good as it dod on day one. Sill lives outside sadly.

On the top you are selling. Do you have to have them install it?

FYI I ordered a Reimo LWB top through CaveVan but I no longer want to install it. CaveVan (Cole) has it now (June 2024) at his Colorado shop.

I am selling the top if anyone is interested--link to my classified ad.

I've only been researching/looking for a little bit, so don't have any first hand experience. The only other top option I'm aware of for long wheelbase is the Reimo: https://www.reimo.com/en/camper-van-conversion-sho...-up-white. Looks like you're in BC, so Dr. Björn’s Auto is likely an option: https://vanagonwestfaliaparts.com/products/reimo-easy-fit-pop-top-for-t4-eurovan

Poptop World in Kirkland does repairs: https://www.instagram.com/p/Cv3Bj2VyoaY/

I am new to The Samba and am looking for information on poptop conversion for a 95 Eurovan (Winnebago). I am aware of Colorado Camper Van's vertical pop top and am hoping that there are other outfitters that do the same thing (and hopefully cheaper!). Thanks for any info anyone can provide.

@GlobeRiders ... wondering if you still have that older top laying around..?

I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with aftermarket pop top manufacturers other than Reimo? There are a couple in the UK: Austops.co.uk and poptoproofs.co.uk that advertise multiple different options for the long wheel base T4. Poptoproofs offers a model 30447 that goes vertical, similar to the Colorado Camper vans mod but without the motors (and, hopefully, without the ~$13K price).

Unfortunately, neither of these advertise a US distributor.

My 2001 EVC has a couple of lateral cracks that extend the full width of the pop top. I've effected temporary repairs using chemical welding. The top is very buckled, presumably due to extensive desert and high-altitude sun exposure. The buckling makes it very hard to patch given the multiple stress planes. Therefore I'm interested in reasonably priced replacements.

Thanks

Cole Ford mounted the track for me so I don't know the details. You might try asking him if he remembers.
I would have done a MaxFan but they were backordered.

[GlobeRiders]

Jonathan, would it be possible to post a picture of your Yakima track on the Reimo roof. Curious where you mounted this on the roof?
Do you know the length of the bolts that went through the roof, how thick is the roof?

Any thoughts of putting in a roof fan like MaxFan?

Thanks for sharing and it has inspired me to get the Reimo roof on my 1999 to be installed next week.

Thanks.

Don't forget to figure in shipping cost. $$$$

Yeah! I didn't get to go on as many trips as I liked this year, but every trip I took I am glad to have this new top instead of the problem prone Winnie top. Jonathan: I never quite figure out the extra mounting holes behind the gas strut on your top, what are those for? roof rails?
Have you figured out your lighting yet?

I'm looking for Pop-Top Hinges for a 1995 Eurovan Camper. Would love any help.
