Marco Polo - Pop top roof cover?

[adamdavi3s]

Is anyone using a pop top cover yet? If so, which one?

Spotted this one which is compatible with a roof rack but don’t understand how rain won’t just wash down inside...

But they also do a full cover (and a basic without windows)

California -camping.de do a cover for the Marco Polo - sorry, I don’t know how to do a link.
I’m going to wait to see how we get on before deciding whether to get one - not even got the van yet!

Thanks Katie, I'm just assuming its pretty much a "must have" for the UK as the roof can't be put down when its wet! Unless you've got a garage to dry it in I guess

As Katie mentioned, California Camping ...

Might be worth making an enquiry at the VWCC club shop as Nick (Comfortz) is making a lot of items now for the MP.

As an aside, I have never used a topper. I sleep mostly downstairs in winter, and often only me or me and the dogs, so can choose where I sleep. However, family of 4 say ... and camping all season... many would consider it to be a necessity.

 

[adamdavi3s]

Thank you, we are the latter so considering it a necessity! Probably as well as some insulation up there as well.

We can put our roof up at home so will just try this to start with, although may end up getting the external topper, as we intend to sleep up top as far as possible
Brandrup do an internal topper - the iso top extreme but it looks very bulky and you can’t keep it on when you lower the roof.
What I’d really like is an internal topper like you can get for the Cali - insulating, keeps moisture from wicking onto the bed and nothing more to do once you’ve put it up the first time.

Isn't the MP 'canvas' two layers?

 

[adamdavi3s]

Would be good to know!

 

[Katie]

I imagined it would be similar to the vw Cali. Owners report that water can wick through from the outside if you touch the inside - like on a tent.
Perhaps someone who already has their mp could let us know.

 

[adamdavi3s]

I’m more concerned about mould if we have to put it away wet. Only got ours today and a very quick look and it might be two ply

Hello Everyone, and you're quite right Jen we're in the final stages of the roof cover & thermal windscreen cover too - Hope to get these items launched early in the new year
We've also completed the Camping Room and Mattress Topper for the MP - so we'll have a good range completed shortly.

We're working with the owners of this forum on the new shop that will be launched hopefully in the next few weeks - exciting times - and will be after some volunteers to help with final fittings and photos etc, so I'll keep you all posted of the progress.

Always happy to help but mid devon might be a bit far!

A couple of sneak preview pictures from the weekend - should be ready to launch by the end of January Oh and the External Thermal Insulated Screen Cover it pretty much completed too.

Great Work

 

[Katie]

These are looking good.
Any plans to do an internal topper that can be left in place with roof down?

 

[Comfortz]

I think Brandrup are working on that one Katie

 

[polokev]

When can I order please?

 

[alltorque]

Any updates on the Comfortz cover please?

 

[polokev]

Why do I see "Polokev" and my mind instantly goes to that Russian spy ..... "Polyakov"?
