    Slyline Aurora & DAB Ground-Plane

    Hi all, has anyone had cause to remove the roof lining from a skyline aurora pop top roof. I'm wondering if I could fit a metal plate into the roof of the pop top and fit a sharkfin aerial to the pop top. Would this work and any ideas how easy the roof lining is to remove?

    HiLo Surf roof dimensions wanted

    I am now in a position where I need to replace a broken HiLo Surf Roof but, being located in the far North East of Scotland, there’s no-one nearby that can advise me on the options, so rather than drive 600 miles or more for someone to have a look at the van, I’m wondering if anyone can help...

    Show me your Kombi with a slide-out kitchen!

    I’m trying to convince the family that a fully built camper isn’t the way forward and instead to have a kombi with pop top and seating/ pull out kitchen in the rear. Does anyone have this kind of setup? If so please upload pics so I can convince them it will work

    Noisy Reimo roof?

    Bought our brand new converted camper back in the Spring (having never owned one before and therefore having nothing to compare). I am trying to gauge whether the slight noises that my roof makes are 'normal' or need investigation. Silence when going in a straight line but when cornering...

    Hi all, I have a skyline pop top and the small semi circular window at the front is pretty badly stained/cloudy. It’s the flexible plastic type - anyone found the best way of cleaning this up? I always try to make sure it’s dry but not sure what’s caused the marking (pic for info but not the...

    Reimo roof out of alignment/Twisted

    My reimo roof has gone out of alignment, as you can see below. You can see that it doesn't sit straight at the front and the hinge has moved on the offside of the van, which makes sense as the roof is skewed at the front to the nearside. The hinge is fixed in the right place on the nearside and...

    Hi all, Currently having a nightmare with the colour coding of my pop top roof. I had the pop top installed in 2021 and the colour was slightly off from the word go. Unfortunately the pop top had suffered blistering and this was returned to Skyline who had sub contracted the painting out to...

    Pop-top waterproofing issues?

    Hi, We’ve got a pop-top fitted which is our converters own design. We had to have our roof replaced last year including the canvas for another issue we had. Since the roof/canvas was replaced, the first time we had the pop-top up in the rain it was clear the canvas was not fully waterproof in...

    Rusting poptop scissor hinge replacement.

    Both scissor hinges on my 2018 conversion are badly rusting. Is it possible to remove the whole hinge unit one side at a time for repainting without having to support the roof on that side ? Many thanks in advance for any comments. J Smalley

    Transporting my kayaks.

    Just wondering how hard it is to get a nearly 4m 30kg kayak on the roof (I'm 5"9" if that matters). Should I be looking at a proper kayak loader (kiratek etc) when I get my new 2 seater kayak? Any chance someone not far from York has a tandem kayak they transport on the top of the van with...
