Spotlight on Our Recommended Partners: Where Trust Meets Expertise

Westdubs: Elevating Your Adventures, Literally

When it comes to pop-top roofs for VW T5 and T6 Transporters, Westdubs is the gold standard. Their British-made elevating roofs aren’t just functional—they’re engineered for seamless integration, with durable canvases that shrug off UK weather and quick-setup mechanisms for instant stargazing.

Pro tip: Pair it with our custom framing for under-bed storage that maximises every inch.

“Great service, helped us out at very short notice to replace our pop top gas struts. Friendly and above and beyond service. Competitive price, will definitely be returning customer!” — Helen Davies

Beyond the Recommendations: Our Trusted Supplier Network

  • Dometic: The global pros behind fridges, awnings, and cooling tech. We integrate their gear for self-sufficient setups that chill your brews from Land's End to John o’ Groats.
