Those look really nice. You mention in one of the video's of the E350 that the bed can be semi-folded up when the top is down but can it be completely unfolded when the top is down? It would be nice to be able to leave a foam pad and bedding matterial all in place and ready to go rather than folding it up and storing it elsewhere in the van during transport.

Also, and maybe you don't discuss this in public forums, but what is a basic price break out for you to convert a van? I guess basically, what does the standard conversion entail, and what does that cost? I'm sorry if this has been posted before but I have searched on this site for it and your personal website doesn't expand on price or what the basic features include.

Slick!

That is the coolest pop-top I've seen. I wonder how weather-tight the front seal is when driving in rain. ONe would think the air pressure acroos the front of the seal would push in water???

I plan on taking my 1970 Suburban up to Colorado next winter for a pop top conversion even if I have to camp in your front yard however long it takes to convince you :)

Seriously pm sent to figure this out.

I love the caravan, good gas millage and some room, plus stealth as all get up. plus having most of the weight over the drive wheels i bet it does pretty good on dirt too..

Derek finished my van 6 months ago and i have driven it at freeway speeds in rain and snow. So far she has been sealed up tight and has stayed dry. I have had a little problem with the gasket at the drivers door but I have a solution to that. These tops snug down very tight. The gasket is not what keeps the water from getting inside the van... It is there just to keep the majority of the water off the tenting material. The seal to keep water out of the van is made between the tenting material and the roof and works very well.

My GTRV gets a lot of wind noise and has a bad seal over my door, but no water ever gets in. Was just driving in diagonal hard rain and no problems, so I wouldn't think CCV tops would have leakage problems.

Ryan, I just drove thru Boise on the way home from Moab last weekend.
