    In this video we finally get to pick up our camper van after having a pop top roof installed! On the way to collect our van we stop at a beautiful UK nature spot and have a traditional British picnic before seeing our pop top for the first time. We give a full pop top camper van tour, showing how to open and close the roof (which is really easy) as well as show off the scenic canvas option and additional bed space.
    Make sure to subscribe to see how our self-build vw camper van turns out once the build is finished!

    Guys, I love it. You’ve got the low clearance when you need it to drive under low bridges etc, and the extra space when you want to stretch your legs.
    Also, this is the first non-school bus van conversion I’ve sent that will be able to sleep more than two! I can’t wait to see the finished thing.

    You won't regret a Austops roof, had one on my last T5 and it never gave me any issues even after I subjected it to some pretty extreme conditions. The included wiring for the light in the roof is a nice touch too. Certainly a better roof than the one I've just fitted to my Sprinter!

    To avoid trapping the canvas in the frame we use a pop top bungie. A specially made elasticated cord which goes all around the canvas and pulls the canvas a little thus stopping it blowing out plus make sure a window or door is open or the trapped air in the van will push the canvas outwards even with a bungie fitted.
