I have had my Vamoose pop top now for 15 months and couldn't be happier. It is not the flashiest with no panoramic zips or multi windows and one colour fabric choice. What it is though is belts 'n' braces and bombproof ! They have been making them for years, it is tried and trusted. It laughs at bad weather and rain! I love the neatness of the internal gas struts and the simple st-steel hinges to the rear ( no stupid bungee needed here to stop catching in the scissor hinges ). I have extended the bed board and now have 2.1 metres bed length in a swb T5.1. They had my van for 2 days and fitted the colour matched pop top, deluxe bed board, diesel heater, Vamoose awning rail and new rear window. I also bought their bespoke internal thermal liner for winter use. And my van had furniture and a RIB bed already installed. Others didn't want to know. Vamoose just got on with it. Decent price too. Highly recommended!

Hi, if van was originally lwb panel van, is it legal to cut the roof and install a pop top? Does it have to be checked by an engineer and inform dvla ? I’d love to do this but really don’t want to cut the roof just to have issues with police etc since all these stupid regulations have come in

Is the structure very weakened after the process? i mean, for the road. Great job! Regards
@vamoosecamperconversionltd55984 жыл бұрын
No the van is as strong with our frame in as it was with the original roof , it has been structurally tested by the RDW in the Netherlands and fully certified for type approval. ( no such test is available in the U.K. hence it was tested in Europe )

Hi Lucas Just like to clarify something with you , this video was taken by one of our customers around 7 years ago , it has obviously been edited as the part where we TRIPLE seal all the frames and paintwork is not shown , I have been building camper vans for almost 30 years and fitting our Vamoose roofs for nearly 12 years , we have installed 1000’s of these and guess what , no rust ! I’d suggest you get your facts in order before you comment on things you have never seen and no nothing about .

You didn't even attempt at masking or protecting any other part of the bodywork before you started cutting.
@Edge_Effect7 жыл бұрын
That's the first thing I noticed, if they are not bothered about protecting the outer & internals of the van before cutting , makes you wonder if other corners are being cut when fitting. It doesn't take long to sheet up the outer bodywork and inners of the van to protect it from metal swarf\filings, a little extra care speaks volumes when a customer is looking for a converter to cut a big hole in their pride and joy. Come on Vamoose surely you are better than this?

Covering the panel for a simple cut is for people who intend on making a mistake.
