Here is a link to some Westfalia Add-on Poptop installation instructions as provided with the kit for the top. It shows that only a small hole is cut in the roof skin. The top kit does not necessarily include an upper bed. That is a separate option. http://www.t3-infos.de/images/Mosaik-Joker_Aufstelldach.pdf An upper bed is the complicating element if required. The stock camper upper bed folds the forward wood and foam piece over the back foam section when the top is down. There is not enough room for that second layer of foam with the higher arched passenger roof so the forward foam piece must be stored in some other place. Mark

This reduces the bed to pop top ceiling distance and the fold up part of upper bunk will not clear. So you have to come up with another solution - the mosaik kit (westy built kit) solves this with a hinged, two part folding out part of bed. |
