Hi Friends, Thank you for all the advice on how I could lift the pop top on my own. I tried several suggestions, but the one that works best for me until I can get the links adjusted is the use of a homemade PVC T-shaped apparatus along with an electric jack, and opening all the doors is a...

What does everyone use for preventative care for the canvas poptop (Scotchguard)? Also, what do you use to clean your plexi windows?

A few years ago my parents stopped traveling (in their 80s now) and I "adopted" their beloved SMB. While I've taken the van on a few trips, it's just not getting the use that warrants me keeping the van. I've put a description in this doc...

Hi there, I saw a few related threads but nothing that answered my question exactly, unless I missed it. Our penthouse top is only 2 years old, but the weatherstripping is not holding up well at all. As you can see from the pictures, it's 'held on' with little plastic pins, but in between the...

I am replacing my 1999 SM poptop with a Colorado Camper Van top so my original pop-top is for sale. Good working condition. $2,000 obo Thanks, Dave Valenti 801-971-5304

Hey guys! I'm selling my one of a kind ambo. I know this is mainly a SMB forum but over the years I picked so much info and guidance on this forum AND met quite a few members over the years that I feel like my ambo belongs to the SMB family :) The AmbuLand is top notch and extremely well...

Here's the listing: https://www.carsforsale.com/vehicle/details/60805092 This would be our first van. $14k seems waaayy overpriced and I wanted a quote of what you guys think it is worth? It has 38,075 miles, but I'm suspicious because there is only 5 digits so I assume it just resets after...

This has been a long time in the making but glad to finally have it "done." There are still a couple of things I'm gonna do to it as we all know the project is never really done. Full build thread: https://jimbobbarnett.com/stories/2019/4/28/the-jim-bob-camper This was not in partnership...

Looks pretty beat. I'm sure the interior matches the outside. But hard to find a SMB penthouse van this cheap. Price has come down a couple times. https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/cto/d/san-jose-price-drop-must-sell-1991/6848069518.html

In considering a future SMB or CCV penthouse top, I've noted that some folks have had trouble with mold, mildew, or leaks. When I was down in San Diego visiting Agile, I took a look at a few poptops and, given their sunny climate, it makes sense to me why the penthouse works so well there...
