What time do I need to arrive?

We ask for you to have your van here between 7:30 and 8:00am on the day booked. If this isn’t convenient and you need to drop off at a different time or day, please arrange this at the time of booking as we have limited parking available on site and it’s not always possible.

Lead times vary throughout the season so please contact us to find out our current lead time.

What does SWB & LWB mean?

SWB stands for short wheel base and LWB stands for long wheel base. This refers to the length of your van.

Pop-Tops for VW T5, T5.1, T6 and T6.1

We can discuss options for selected T5, T5.1, T6 and T6.1 vehicles. Compatibility may vary by model year, wheelbase, roof configuration and modifications already made to the van. Please provide the registration or exact model details when enquiring; do not assume every variant is compatible until confirmed by our team.
The best configuration depends on how you use your campervan, how many people will sleep in it and what other equipment is fitted. Discuss canvas and colour options, bed arrangements, solar or other roof-mounted equipment, and any constraints with us before ordering. Only list options currently available for the relevant roof and vehicle.
