    Personally, Putting a pop up
    Personally, Putting a pop up into a high top, I reckon would be expensive, time consuming for not alot of gain.
    I would have thought there would be ample room with the right design in a LWB high top without having to put in a pop up which wouldn’t be cheap to buy before even fitting it.
    I would do my sums very carefully before doing it.
    You can sometimes overspend on a conversion and it can be money you will never retrieve.

    I drive a MK6 Transit LWB
    I drive a MK6 Transit LWB High top. Theres just the two of us and plenty of room especially when we can put up the 6 berth driveaway awning. At least with high tops you can stand up in em without crawling about.
    If you build a system that has a quick bed to seat conversion, it really doesn’t take long. Yes I can understand wanting a permanent bed, but costs can far outweigh the practicalities.
