Hi All,
I will be collect a new T6 highline DSG panel van and calling too Colin at Oxford T5 for seats and windows install in a few weeks. I am considering getting a pop top roof maybe SCA or Riemo while over there. I have ordered a twin slider as I want to make into a Kombi/camper and I ma wondering if anyone has fitted a pop top to a twin slider. For me it would suit my needs perfect as I will use the van as a day to day vehicle and when away with family or biking I will attach our Vango Shepera tent when the kids can sleep and myself and my wife in the pop top bed. For me this is as much of a camper van of this size that I would want because in my last T5 camper I never cooked in it because of the smell and grease afterwards and I wont be putting a toilet in there either. I will install a Motexiom bulk head and 2+1 kombi seat arrangement which can easily be removed if I want and maybe install those slide pod removable chest of drawers/presses behind the bulkhead. This will keep all bikes and travel equipment in the rear behind bulkhead.
So my question is has anyone done a conversion like this type before, and would converting a Kombi twin slider be hard to sell afterwards?
Has anyone fitted a pop top with a bulkhead then fitted in it usual position in the LWB van.
Thanks for reading and I would appricate any advice
Regards
Sean
 
Hi sean we have done loads of sca roofs on twin slider vans so no problem there.
I can't forsee a problem with the bulkhead idea either. It will need adapting to accomodate the thicker floor and the profile of the roof. With a bit of luck that will be straightforward. I am crazy busy on monday but if you give me a call on Tuesday I can take a look at a kombi bulkhead and let you know for sure.

Hi, this was a few years ago now. How did it go with fitting a sca roof with the bulkhead installed? I’m considering to do something similar myself, although the BH is behind the front seats. Thanks!
