Had a trip up to the Malvern Hills today, left at 5:15, arrived at 7:45 and the boys got straight into it. Stripped off my temporary roof skin and by 8:15 they’d cut the hole and were ready to fit the frame.
Despite a few issues caused by the Caravelle wiring loom, and window trim, and the van previously having a sunroof, all fitted and watertight by 11:30.
Drive home in peace and quiet, and dry, some overall weight added but no probs as I’ve already beefed up suspension and wheels/tyres.
I opted to trim out myself so bought extra carpet to match it all up.
After trawling Busfest looking at pop tops I’m very, very happy with my choice and value for money. The red is complementary to my paprika red base and the white is close enough to the vinyl wrap.
Big thanks to Chris, Stew, Andy, Steve and Barry and a young lady whose name I didn’t catch, for letting me muck in, accommodating my previous bodges, loads of cups of tea and a great feeling of money well spent.
Thread to continue as I fit the van out.....
