Westy Adventurewagen high top interior help required!

[bertiethebus]

well following on from my earlier poll on to fit or not, I have decided it will be best for my lower back if I fit the roof as I'm crippled crawling about trying to panel the bloody van!
Has anybody got any interior pictures of what up inside the roof looks like for storage options?
I'm not convinced about putting a bed up there as its never gonna be used.
It's this roof.....


Cheers folks 8)

Have a look at this fellas work.
I think he's made a good job of it to be honest.

Agree with old Neil, does look good, I'm doing something similar v soon, I've insulated with the silver bubble type insulation but then was thinking of trying a perforated headliner material to try and match the headlining. Not sure how it will work out though.
The stretch material would go on pretty easy.

Wow, it does make a massive difference in there!!!!
Much lighter inside too!!!
With all that storage up top I'd ditch the wardrobe, make a full width bed???

Our lass wants to keep the wardrobe too matey :roll:
Cracking kink and pictures chaps. I'm guessing bonding some blocks to the grp inside with sikaflex or the likes will be what's needed to screw paneling to?

We did his last year and although we were concerned about cutting our roof, it's been worth it. We went the bed route in the front section as my eldest was getting too tall for the cab hammock. To be fair, by the time he hits his teens (he's 9 now) it'll be a bit tight for him. The long term plan is to add dormobile type bunks.

The rear cupboard in ours is big enough for a weeks worth of clothes for a family of 5. The adhesive we used to attach the roof was also used to bond brackets etc - some were also fibreglassed.

If you want any pics, or have any questions, let us know.

Indeed.
I'm surprised by how much more spacious and airy it makes the inside.
Looks like a lot of extra storage space too.
