| Is it possible to put a westy fiberglass top on an EVC? My Winnie top has a few cracks. I’m thinking finding an old westy top might be possible, and cheaper than after market alternatives. |

With a bit of modification and effort I am sure you could get it to fit.
I take it you realise however that the two vehicles are different lenghts (LWB for EVC and SWB for the westy).
The westy I think goes further forwards in the first place (EVC finishes before the cab, doesn't the westy go all the way to the front?)
As the EVC is longer the westy one 'may' fit in a similar manner to how the EVC does now.
If you can find both vans then measure them up. . .

Not possible because the Winnebago EVC is built on Long Wheel based vans and the weekenders are short wheel based. They are about a foot difference in length. There is one person in Canada that made an outer aluminum shell to replace the plastic outer shell. I worked with Santa Cruz campers and imported a LWB top and had it installed on my EVC.
