hilo

Having looked through this area, I am quite surprised not to see Van Doc’s name. So here goes with first review for them. I first got in touch with them in January to make an appointment to go and visit with a view to getting a Hilo roof fitted. This was all simple, and within a week Mrs...

Could somebody help me????? I dont usually use forums but im at wits end.! Hi lo have recalled my roof, they do not answer emails, their phone is out of service. I spent nearly 4k on this roof and havnt been able to use it. The screw down design has distorted the fibre glass shell and the rear...

It looks like HiLo are recalling their cheaper Surf roof for safety reasons. Temporarily adding some straps and also adding some metal discs to strengthen the roof where it may not have been manufactured incorrectly......still safe to 70mph though but with a warning of 'involuntary elevation of...

Roof is still leaking think I need to go direct to @HiLo Roofs

Hi guys , I would like to introduce myself - I’m lee (Hoops) I’m reasonably new to the forum after ordering my T32 highline panel van in feb 2019 , I’ve been following all you knowledgeable people Since then to gain as much info as poss ! I’ve had a T5-1 from new in 2013 used as a work van to...

Not sure which is the best section to post this so mods please move as required. Been away the weekend and when putting my HiLo roof down the front left side securing bolt would not screw in. Was finding bits of insulation tape coming off the nylon thread so it looks like the last owner had the...

Morning all, me and my partner are looking to get a hi lo either surf or sport fitted soon. I’ve done the basic searches for fitters but unsure on who to trust as my friends was bodged and you here horror stories. We are in Kent but we would drive reasonably far to get a good job. Also has...

I've been itching to get a pop top fitted for a while now, so I was on a waiting list with my local HiLo fitter for about 6 months (he's very busy). When the time finally came to fit the roof towards the end of 2018 the guy decided he didn't want to fit standalone pop tops anymore, he'd only fit...

I'm in need of some quick advice/thoughts on a problem I need to resolve by tomorrow: My Shuttle is currently in with VanDoc getting a HiLo fitted. The original plan was to have VanDoc do a normal fit, building and carpeting in the pelmets down the sides to blend in with the rest of the vans...

new roof done by viper tech conversions .... top job im happy

I change my mind nearly everyday with this one.....is my van in need of a rear spoiler or do I leave it as it is? It's one of those decisions you can't simply change once made.

Am looking at having a hilo sport fitted and the installer has informed me that the standard gel coat white is a very near match to my colour which is candy white. I have yet to speak to him, which I will tomorrow as I need to know what 'very near match' actually means. He has quoted £465 to...

Hi All Has anyone fitted a Hilo Surf roof? I would love to go for the more expensive Hilo Sports roof but budget will not allow. The pop top bed will be just for the kids so I’m hoping the Surf will do the job and save me a wedge. Would welcome thoughts and some pictures. Thanks.

I am soon to take delivery of an Acapulco Blue T6 and I'm having a roof fitted. Obviously, getting the roof painted Acapulco Blue would be the most sensible thing, but if I went with a solid colour, does anyone know what's the nearest RAL or British Standard colour to Acapulco Blue? And how bad...

Has anyone fitted a roll out awning with a HiLo roof? Is it possible to fit one in such a way as the awning case sits below the height of the roof? I've done a quick forum search but all I can find is this old thread Fiammia f45s canopy what rail will I need with a Hilo roof which deals with...

So here goes, I've been lurking a while but finally my van is here. Kombi 150 T32 4-Motion SWB in Starlight blue. Plenty of options included: Diff Lock Electric interface & MFU Power latching all around ACC LEDs Nav Factory Swivels Parking heater / factory leisure battery Comfort Dash etc...

I'm really torn as to wether i should fit a spoiler to my camper. I may not be looking too hard but haven't seen any with a spoiler. Don't know if it would look right as it would be sitting lower than the pop top. Any pics would be appreciated.

Ordering a Hilo soon for fitting in a couple of months, looking for a good, experienced fitter in the NW or midlands. Currently thinking of Xtremevan or Hilo themselves (they do fitting directly now). Anyone got any feedback on these options or any other good suggestion?

3 stage build (Cambee flex on rails, HiLo then Cambee Tourer) just finished so thought I should post a few pics... :) Many thanks to all at Cambee; I look forward to seeing future conversions based upon the design work mine was the guinea pig for ;) Worth pointing out that it has a...

Anyone looked into the Low life stealth pop top roofs? Looks to be similar to Hilo and also do a carbon option. Price wise looks a little cheaper too!
