Hi Dieseldonkey, I had a low life roof fitted around April 2018 and I quite like the general design. Unzipping the rear flaps, to put it down is a bit of a pain, but I can live with that. My biggest problem however has been water ingress. it leaked in around all the seams, especially the mesh windows at the sides and the front clear one. It was actually unusable when it rained. I tried to seal it, but to no avail. Also, where the fabric was attached to the cassette at the bottom, they had used self drilling screws which left small pieces of swarf and these made holes in the fabric which looked awful. I was not very impressed to say the least. In the end I had to cover all the screw heads with some carpet to stop any more damage. Unfortunately the water leakage didn’t stop, despite me using seam sealer to try and seal it. I got back in touch with Ian and he has now replaced the tent with a different teflon coated fabric, which is more stretchy. He installed it for free, but I had to pay for the tent, which stuck in my throat a bit as he knew about the leaks from the beginning. The new one is leaking even worse than the first one and was actually dripping from the panoramic zip/seams and the two side mesh window seams, so I had to seal it with seam sealer which has made a vast improvement, but it still leaks at the bottom front corners where the fabric is stretched and the rear also leaks a small amount at the bottom. The water also seems to be soaking through the zip fabric which I can see if I press blue paper roll against it. If it wasn’t for the leaks, I’d be very happy.There was issues with the fit out on my van, which I posted about. The last issue I had was with the tent fabric. But credit where credits due, Low Life acknowledged their tent manufacture had supplied the wrong spec material and my tent was replaced.
In terms of would I fit another. Well put it this way. If the issues I had are put down to a new company , experiencing new problems and now things have settled down, then yes, I would still recommend my roof. Although I'm not sure the extra elevation of the Prime roof is something I'd need again. The B2 or Bullet may serve my needs just aswell, at lower cost and by the look of what I've seen, with quicker deployment and retraction, but with the same low retracted profile. I'd need to study these roofs more closely though before making that decision. Only really seen them briefly in operation.
Hi Paul, did you have any problems with water leaking in through any of the seams?I have had 7 stealth roofs fitted to my various hire campers both the prime and the bullet no problems with any of them and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them

So I was wondering how yours is working out on the water leakage front? Ian assures me that he has had no complaints from other customers.
Also looking at these options, did you get anywhere on making your decision?Hi we are just starting out on our conversion, we have been looking at the Stealth B2, over westdubs & the skyline aurora. Does anyone have the stealth fitted & any feedback appreciated.
Thanks
Hi
Does anyone have any reviews or feedback on the stealth pop tops?
looking for good points as well as bad points to help make my mind up on which pop to go for.
thanks in advance.
I’ve moved your posts here as there’s already some feedback for the LowLife Stealth roofs.Hi there
im asking the same question as you.
live been quoted £6,000 for one so want to know it’s worth it.
cheers
Hi @TheWanderingI’m looking at a stealth roof now. Has anyone had one fitted for a while and had no issues?
thanks
The Bullet and B2 roofs do not use scissor hinges like the prime, they use a full width hinge across the rear of the roof with small gas shocks as stabiliser. The prime roof still has internal hinges.Are the hinges on the inside or outside? Looking at the pic above they look to be on the outside? Not inside as previously mentioned
Hi Paul, any recommendations on best mattress to go in the stealth would be gratefully received thanksI have had 7 stealth roofs fitted to my various hire campers both the prime and the bullet no problems with any of them and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them
