I m following your guys foot steps and building a wooden roof.
Roof extension van.
If you have a passenger van the rear seats and rear headliner must be removed.
All of our full size van tops work great with side or rear wheelchair lifts.
The curve of the roof at the very end running the length of the van is more then i expected and looks like its gonna be a problem when i try to mount the first 2 4.
I am using a ford econoline extended 350 instead.
Can solar panels be added to the roof.
This one happens to be a 4 4 because it s alaska after all.
Currently gutting the van now and getting ready to make the cuts.
First step though is finding a suitable top.
Yes all of our van tops have some wood reinforcing in the ceiling.
In this story the van was an empty cargo shell.
Van tops also known as high tops and or camper tops for vans make the movement of passengers and cargo easier when compared to that of a standard van.
Yes but we recommend loading no more 200 lbs.
If you do not see a hight that you require give us a call custom work also available to satisfy your needs.
This is probably the cheapest and easiest way to begin but any standard van would work.
Use a roof rack for kayaks surfboards solar panels etc.
As with anything used check craigslist local wrecker s yards and van specific forums.
If you re comfortable cutting a hole in the roof of your van you should be able to install a high top yourself.
