Type 5s
The roof we manufacture for the T5 is a super low, full length, side lifting design. Our roof is one of the lowest on the market, adding just under 70mm to the top of your van, yet providing you with a 6ft by 47 inch bed with 4ft of head height all the way through the upstairs sleeping area. The canopy comes with two zipped and fly screened arched windows, and two high-level velcro vents, making the roof one of the lightest and airiest designs on the market.
Technical Info
The roof is available in both SWB and LWB formats.
The roof will also carry most aftermarket or VW roof racks.
Our roof is one of the only roofs with a capability of being insulated with an inch of modern insulation board (as an extra).
The bed system is a simple three board sliding design allowing you to position the bed where you want and stacking easily out of the way when travelling. It also allows you the choice to remove the bed-boards completely if they are not needed. This system provides full head height down the length of the van or extra storage space.
The canopy comes with a standard light grey PVC top, and a choice of fifteen colours for the sides and front, allowing you to compliment your van's colour scheme. The fabric is rot and mould resistant, water resistant, UV stable.
The roof can also be colour coded, with either a straight colour added to the gel coat of the fibreglass roof or, if a metallic colour, spray applied.
The strengthening system provides added strength over the cab area and longitudinal strength down both sides of the van.
The roof can be supplied and fitted by ourselves but has also been designed as a diy kit and anybody, with some practical experience, should be able to fit this roof in a couple of days.
