Cali roof topper

[Jossy]

Recently brought a 2010 Cali my husband has tried sleeping on the top bed as downstairs is a bit too small for both of us and he found it a bit cold, can anybody tell me which is the best roof topper that will keep the cold out and also the heat as we have a dog. We are both in our latter years and this will be our last attempt at owing a camper. I also think at the price they cost they could supply some sort of ladder as I can't get up there.

Probably the best insulation is the Brandrup iso top. Fits inside the roof & can be left in place. Is expensive. http://www.brandrup.de/en/brandrup-...nterior/iso-top-pop-up-roof-insulation-vw-t5/
There are insulators that wrap around the bellows & keep rain & cold out... pucer, Cali top.
Then you have a range of toppers that fit over the top of the roof... Mutze cap, comforts cali topper & some others. These can be draughty.
Some of the above have windows & others don't.

People all have their favourite that they swear by. I have a Mutze.

Hi,

Is the Brandrup iso top fully waterproof?

thanks,

Mark

No the iso top goes inside the roof see the link in my previous post.

I did...

It suggests its gore-tex which is waterproof...

I understand its fits on the inside therefore wanted to know that the mattress and occupant would be waterproof (or not get wet).

Other reviews suggest this is the case...

Sorry my error, yes it is waterproof. But so is the bellows canvas.
