Hi, I have an '87 high-top, it has storage in the rear over the bed and a mirrored cabinet with storage in the front. ( and nice standing room between) I'm not sure who did the conversion or if it was VW, the first owner lost the manuals! There is a lot of space but I've heard concerns about packing it too heavy making the wind issues worse; however, with good tires it seems to handle similarly to an 87 flat top and an 83 diesel camper I've had. (actually a little better as the flat had car tires). Plus, in the summer the little side windows in the top are great for both cooling and relieving cross-winds...

the typical pop-top westy has outside storage space on the roof above the driver-passenger area, where you can bungee-down luggage or whatever. there is a non-pop-top westy, more common in europe it seems, with a permanent raised fiber-glass sleeping area that i think is called a bubble top. the question: in the bubble top, is there storage space above the driver-passenger area -- inside the bubble-top -- or just a lot of head-room? it seems a list member, awhile back, said that space is storage space. can anybody confirm that? many thanks. art '82 westy |
