Top up or down on poptops
(Preview)
This may be a bit of a girl question but I have had varying opinions on the answer. When van is stored at home is it best to leave the top up or down? Does it make any difference and why. I can use mine with the top down so I don't bother putting it up unless I'm staying in it for a while. Thanks Tess
