Here are a couple Links to conversion sites.

Karl's sites show how to do it just adding the pop-top

Stuart's conversion adds the upper bunk

I'm going to be adding the complete upper bunk & pop-top to my Syncro GL this
spring...  Can't see adding just the top without the upper bunk...  This way when
our young nieces and nephews come with us, they'll have a place to sleep inside
and not be under foot...  Otherwise I'd have to build a set of bunks into our
little travel trailer...
