This week Michael's 2002 Ford 7.3 Powerstroke Sportsmoblie 4x4 camper van gets a pop top! He found a used Sportsmobile pop top with a bed, so we went to Ethan's to cut out the roof and seal the pop top on! 4x4 Diesel camper vans are the best! stick around for the end to see the Syncro Vanagan go off road with the sportsmoblie Powerstroke!

i used to work in a van conversion shop in the metal dept. my job was cutting holes in the sides for windows and the roof for raised roofs. i had a jig that i sat on the top of the van that was held in place with magnets to mark where to cut the roof off so you only had to cut it once, and didn't wind up with an uncomfortable trip to production manager's office to explain why the hole was bigger than the fiberglass topper. we used 1"x1" steel angle iron around the edge of the hole in the roof to stiffen and support the topper.

3:07 prolly would've been a good idea to leave a lip. Said lip could then be raised with a pair of body work pliers and made into a water rail, then the top kit lowered and affixed to it. Whenever they put AC units inside our fleet vehicles, the guys at the install yard do that. They have never leaked in (some) 15 years. It's just water denial.

Short/Lower vans just look cooler and save on gas but mostly as solo vanlifer whos travel range is only 600 miles I like smaller short vans because I'm all about stealth and access.. being able to do a 3 point turn in a tight space, squeeze through a 8' dirt path, park at retail spaces or low parking garages is way too important and sure its what real van life is like for most. My design considers that when you factor the footprint of the bed, the counter and the cab, the actual space you can actually stand and walk in is tiny. Also considering I personally will always be warm weather van (95% No snow and never under 30F), I realized my roof vent was always open, so I redesigned roof with a custom open screened roof opening under a solar panel where I can stand even at 6'2. Rain water never gets in and the van is always ventilated (yet dry and bug free)
