Hi all. As I am slowly but surely turning into an old fart, nearly 68, I thought that I would fit struts to my A van pop top roof. This may be a stupid observation but what happens when the roof is down and the canvas folds in ? It looks as though it is too much to fit behind the struts. Am I stupid or what ????

Thanks mate. The 200w solar panel I fitted makes it a bit heavy. Cheers

Hi. The Avan club is for 'A' van owners only. Mine is an Avan pop top. Thanks anyway.
