Your Austops warranty will remain valid unless accidental damage is caused during the fixing process.

We advise that no more than 25Kgs is sat on the roof, this includes all fixings and luggage.

The gas struts and scissor hinges which support your roof have been manufactured specifically to support the weight of the Austops roof, enabling the roof to be open and closed efficiently and with the right amount of force. Additional weight on the roof will create an additional workload resulting in potential damage the struts and hinges.

No, all luggage must be removed before you open the roof, it’s OK to leave the bars or roof rack though.

Because we don’t sell any of these products, we don’t make any recommendations however we do recommend that you speak to one of our regional fitters and ask for their advice. We would always recommend that you fit a reputable brand of product.

We are a manufacturer and supplier to trade outlets only. Please check-out our ’fitters’ page to locate your nearest supplier. The fitter will be able to help you with prices and specifications.

At Austops, we can supply virtually any colour. Simply provide us with a manufacturer’s paint code, paint name, RAL Code or any other industry recognised code and we will have the pigment mixed enabling us to supply a roof in your chosen colour.

Unfortunately, not, we are able to supply in a solid paint finish only. If you require a metallic colour, you will need to coordinate this with your chosen Austops fitter.

Yes, the finish of our roof is suitable for wrapping.

The maximum weight limit for the deluxe bed frame is 200kgs (440lbs).

The maximum weight limit for the standard bed kit is 150kgs (330lbs). The weight limit is applicable only when all items from our bed kit are used.

The simple answer is yes, but not if you want to leave the mattress in place for storage when the roof is closed.

All bed kits are supplied with our standard mattress, which is 25mm thick. The mattress is sized to fit within the roof space whilst allowing the mattress to be stored when the roof is closed. Using a thicker mattress will likely prevent the roof from closing properly and should therefore be avoided.

Whilst the Pop top is very strong, we would advise you not elevate the roof in anything considered a light gale or stronger. If the weather is not suitable for pitching a tent it’s not suitable for elevating your roof.  If the weather is windy, we recommend that you should park your vehicle with the rear end of the van facing the prevailing wind which will minimse the pressure on the pop top.  If in any doubt, please keep the roof closed.

Yes, your Austops roof is suitable for a solar panel. Our recommendation is that you fit a semi-flexible panel secured with a PU adhesive. Whilst we don’t sell any of these products, we have it on good authority that Photonic Universe (https://www.photonicuniverse.com/en/) offer a great range of products.
