Yeah I suppose that is a fair assessment, I've never been
closterphoblic so a non popping hightop is enough for me. Besides I
rarely sleep up top anyway.  I do see how you get the beifit of the
westy top in terms of room (which I have always liked on the rar
ocassions I am up there) and an inside fixed, covered, dry and
permanent storage area. The venelation is likely better than an
adventurewagen.

I did a lot of camping in the summer last summer and one of the
reasons I like the idea of permanent up top storage is I hated the
evening ritual of moving all the clutter up to the pop top to sleep,
and the morning ritual of taking it down again so you could drive
somewhere.

This top would solve that, but so does my AW top...
