High,

wondered if anyone has ever had a Highroof fitted to the there SWB smiley.....i am considering doing so as i think it would be cool to have the extra space. Anyone experiences would be appreciated. I have been quoted 799 fitted.

thanks

Plenty of SWB camper conversions (like mine) with a full high top on them. The extra space is great - particularly if you can add an over-cab locker or bed. But... they're a bugger to clean, and the extra frontal area drags your mpg down...

There is a post somewhere in this section from who did that ( not the bath tub ),I also think northernlad from here fits hi-tops,but that price you mentioned might take some beating.
