  • We head down to Simply Surf Bus in Bristol to collect our XLWB Crafter with the now finished ATEK pop top roof installed.
    This has transformed the look and usability of this Crafter. I can't thank the team at Dan, Ben and the Simply Surf Bus enough for squeezing us in.
    So much more to come on this build. Victron system out, Clayton power in with solar panel on the atek pop top roof, 5G wifi to go back in, Volkswagen Grand California Bike rack to be installed, Scan Strut Atom 12v inflation pump to be installed in the back doors. Plus a lot whole lot more.
    I hope you've enjoyed this short video. Plus do hit that like button, it means a lot.
    Plenty more content to come.
    As always thanks for watching.

    I’d’ve gone with a rearward facing with some kind of door to access a roof deck.

    Looking good. I was up there when your van was being worked on as I was looking at one of the vans.
    Why the Clayton over the victron setup? I'm about to order my power set up but can't make up my mind which way to go!

    • @THQAutomotive
      @THQAutomotive  5 месяцев назад

      Ease of install, cost, footprint within the van, weight, ease of understand what it going on with it all when in use. Clayton have the additional battery packs arriving in March. These will be a game charger to the large camper market.

      Oh I see. I think a lot of people see the investment in a Transporter / Crafter as an alternative to a family holiday aboard once / twice a year. For many it can become a long term investment and reduce their costs. Especially as the Transporter sized vehicle can also be used as a daily driver, so replacing an existing family vehicle. @@Ben-in6qh
