    Can I fit a drive away awning rail to the van with a skyline poptop?

    Is there space left to fit a good drive away awning rail when a skyline poptop is fitted? Pics would be awesome if you have this setup.

    Swamper style roof box on Skyline Poptop

    When I get my poptop fitted, I’d like to install a roof box on top of it, with rear ladder that would suit an expedition / swamper look. Has anyone done anything similar and have recommendations? @The Van Cave Chris, have you done this with Skyline pop tops?

    Hi all, I've just seen that Skyline roofs are selling their own thermal wraps to fit their pop tops. Has anyone got one or could recommend one to fit an Aurora roof. Cheers

    Skyline Aurora & T6 Tailgate Bike Rack

    Hi all, Does anyone else have a Skyline Aurora and VW tailgate bike rack combo? If so, does your bike rack hit the Skyline roof when it's popped up, preventing the tailgate to fully open? We've had a bit of a mare with ours plus two broken rear lights.

    skyline roof clips

    We have the slightly earlier Skyline roof which is held down - sort of! - by two straps at the front. This is not satisfactory as it is difficult to tighten properly and tends to lift at speed. It needs some sort of toggle catch arrangement rather like the roof of a 2CV. Does anyone know...
