Good job and isn't so difficult to do it by yourself all alone has it seems on the beginning! 😉👌 I work alone has a campervan builder and it's heavy work, but very grateful, to install the pop up roof alone. In my case I have a winch intalled on the roof of the workshop, but the process it's the same. Congratulations and enjoy your camper van 😊
Brilliant! Karl you are a Genius! You must be a Tradesman making it look so easy to do. I'm doing it the Easy and Inexpensive Way. I got myself the Roost Explorer Hard Shell Roof Top Tent as it has a quarter inch molded Base & good Locking Latches. Going to mount it directly onto my 2009 GMC Savana Van Roof & cut out the R.T.T. Base & Van Roof so that I can Travel Stealth avoiding the Cities'" overnight Parking Bi-Laws and to be able to Stand-up in the back my Van when parked & Sleep overhead. All for under 2500.00 as I got a Used Roost R.T. Tent. Thanks for Sharing and Cheers from Toronto, Canada.
That crane frame is a genius idea, looking forward to seeing the new videos. I have a T4 that's been converted into a camper by a bloke in Nottingham, i am seriously considering buying a newer van and having a go myself, keep them coming Karl 😀🤙
Hi Karl just discovered your channel absolute awesome, I was going to get the T5 but I’ve decided I’m going to go for a 2016 T6 your videos are perfect as I will be using them for reference all the way through my build . I’m in Newby to the VW world. I Constantly I have been scrawling through UA-cam videos and then I came across your channel,thank you so much for sharing. PS I have subscribed keep the good work🤘
looks good, glad we had a forklift! I too thought the instructions where a bit off! compress by 1" (50mm) I'm sure it said! air pop rivet'er is more use than any riv nut gun.
Fair play. Great video. How much height does the pop top and to the car when it is closed? I want to get into carparks with 2m restrictions and my van is 1960 mm Any help would be appreciated.
Excellent channel mate. I’ve watched a few of your vids & subscribed. At the start of this series you said about converting vans for a living & wonder if you do other peoples vans cause I intend to get one when the prices drop & would happily travel to get you to do the work. You seriously got balls man & get it done 👍🏻
Hey Karl. Your pop top video is great. I have just bought a Denby pop top. Very happy with the product but the instructions are not great. Can I ask you some questions about fitting?
Great series of videos in a refreshing presentation style - good work Karl, I tried getting a pop top for my Transit Custom but they dont sell them at Denby Campervans - do you know anywhere I can get one on supply only basis ? cheers Ade
Hey Karl. Quick question. When u did the pop top i was wondering how u knew the position to put the rivnuts in. Was it an exact measurement thing or did u get the roof on, without fixings and mark for drilling. If it was a measurement then do you have the details? I did my Austop roof in a similar way with a winch by the way but made much harder work of it with very limited winch height in my garage. Was a right faff!
Excellent work Karl. Much appreciated. I'm currently fitting a Denby to my T5 and notice that you're doing things differently to the instructions I've been given, such as bending a lip of the roof over the front frame and riveting horisontally rather than just a vertical rivet as instructed. Were you given additional instructions that drove you to do this or were you using your initiative?
I was just using my initiative, in fact I've just done it again on my next one which is T6.1 (video out next week) It just seemed to make sense to me to do it like that as the frame doesn't match the profile of the roof very well

Love everything in this video. Humour, editing and the engineering of the poptop and everything else needed 😂
Amazing fella!!! Graet job, engineering and videoing. And all done solo!! Wot an inspiration!! Thank you 👍🏽👌🏾😊

Mate I bet you had the neighbours worried as that frame looked like a set of gallows!😂. Bloody good effort though 👏

Fun video. Glad I’ve now seen what it’s like to attempt it solo. Well done 👍
Smart goings! Impressive solutions, build and calm in face of potential calamity.
You’re an absolute legend! 👍🏼
Love the style of video Karl. Cracking job fella!
Great practical stuff - love the cheerful commentary
Thinking of fitting solar next in my tiny van next mate 😉 just got to think which is best for me 🧐. Thanks for the video Karl 👍

Hey Karl. Your pop top video is great. I have just bought a Denby pop top. Very happy with the product but the instructions are not great. Can I ask you some questions about fitting?
8:18 my heart jumped
Samu Qu mine did a bit more Than jump
Hi Karl, so do you recommend the Denby pop top?
Where did the pop up roof come from please
Great series of videos in a refreshing presentation style - good work Karl, I tried getting a pop top for my Transit Custom but they dont sell them at Denby Campervans - do you know anywhere I can get one on supply only basis ? cheers Ade
Nice job! Can you explain how you fixed the canvas down onto the original van steel roof? I'm guessing it wasn't just the silicon shown at the end...
Dan Sands there’s a plastic strip on the inside that you screw down on to the roof and trap the fabric
@@KBeadle And it all handles well after some usage or do you notice some disadvantages of this system?
Genius!.. Did you just rivet the metal side supports of glue and rivet?
yes

Great work, why didn’t you get Colon Furze to help?
ha ha fat chance. Its hard enough trying to get hold of him when I'm doing a bit of editing for him. He's always a very busy boy this time of the year
Do you live in Somerset?
No Stamford

Where DIF you by the top?
So... Not just get a mate 🤷🤣
Did you save much cash?
yes about 700
I feel as if you got your acting and video style from the colinfurze channel.
genius 😂
I try😊. I’ve got a ratchet pulley set up for the next one. Should make it a bit safer
