Went to Alabama today to negotiate the price on a top off a '66 Dormobile to go on my '65 Sundial Camper. The guy said it could be mine for $100. Does this sound like a fair price? ------- I don't know about price, but be sure you put in sub floors on your bus if you will put in a dormer top. i know i've posted this before, but to flog a dead horse, it is needed for structural stability. All splitty sunroof buses had them, and dormobiles were built on sunroof combi bodies.
I popped it up and there were no tears in the vinyl sides and there were no broken bows. There were two cots in the top, one with the canvas intact, the other with cargo netting. Was this how they came? ------- what i've seen had two cots, both made of the same stuff. i think it was canvas, but i don't know for sure The glass skylights were fine, but one of the ventilation lids was missing, with a piece of plywood in it's place. Anyone know a source for the lids? ----- Ric and Susan Crandall know an amazing amount about campers, westies and Dormobiles in particular. they reproduce parts for dormer tops. I think they advertised in OBR, as they are NEATO members. clara
