Highroof / Pop top / int/ext camper conversions (list)

[loki]

Jesse, ever thought of the idea of a fiberglass cap and tent to fit the moon roof of a P25? Kinda a mini pop up; sailed with a friend years back were that was the only standing headroom in his 26sail boat. Never seen one on a Delica, but it would allow standing room for one person for cooking, stretching during inclement weather and changing clothes, and might make the interior space for more livable. Combine that with an awning and a rear hatch tent for a quick set up camper.

why not a modded roof top tent that could be accessed through the moon roof? then you can have standing room and a separate place to sleep so the interior can be better utilized.

I love the schematic views. I need to hunt down a high res or vector version of those.

Would be interested in the schematic view. Do you still have them somewhere? Looks like most of your flickr photos are not working anymore...

[FredVenne]

Yeah, cannot see any of your photos.

So are you saying that Reimo only made 500 total like mine?

[BCDelica]

Ten years ago a buddy did this to his VW Syncro, the inside tent access that is;
The whole kaboodle was custom made out of Nanaimo.

I've been cleaning my flickr account and accicentally deleted 90% of my delica-related pics. Sorry about that !

I'm going to rummage through my computer and see what I still have regarding camper conversions and upload them

A couple more photos I just came across...

Karim from silkroadautos.com has three pop-up top to sell:

One L300 2.5 4d56 reimo camper
One L300 2.4 4g64 reimo 'weekender'
One L300 2.5 4d56 5spd,long wheel base,dual sliding door reimo camper.Really uncommun!

If only Quebec(no RHD) was like the rest of Canada,it will be possible to buy one of this beauty!

Actually, I think you could get into an '86 or '87 year-model. The ban only applied to RHD's that were between 15 and 25 years old (based on my assessment with my armchair law degree).

[Strada 92]

You're right,RHD in Quebec are permitted but only if they are 25 years old...or more!
These ones are,in the best case, 'only' 20 years old. Finding a '86 or '87 pop-top will be very hard and they will be old look delica without the 4d56.

No,i'm just dreaming...

[thedjjack]

my 1989 hitop delica is almost at 25 years.....

[Jordan]

Is the LWB 4wd?

[Strada 92]

Yes,it's a 4WD,5speed,4d56 2.5 turbo-diesel.
Cool machine!

[Strada 92]

Another cool one from Silkroadautos.
1996,P35,turbo-diesel 4d56 with nice wheels.

[jessef]

That's hilarious. It's on backwards !

[DelicaMark]

Ha! Good eye. Isn't on the right way but opening backwards? The spoiler is on the back but they must have order the "open high at the front" model versus the "open high at the back"...oops!

Maybe the person that ordered it was very tall and needed more head room while driving...this might be a tough sell once people clue into the backward-ness.
