Help with T25 roof canvas ID

Post by micstar72 »

Hi all,

I have just bought a 1986 T25 and need a new roof canvas for the pop top, I'm trying to identify the roof so I can order a replacement. The guy I bought the camper off said that the conversion was a Riemo but after speaking to a couple of people about buying a canvas, they think it is a Wesfalia conversion.
I have attached a photo of the camper with pop top up. If anyone has any ideas about which it might be and advice on how to install it, i would be so appreciative!!
I live in Spain so buying the wrong one and having it sent over would be a right pain. I would be grateful for any information.

Thanks in advance,
Mic

Looks like a Westfalia copy. Dont think the struts and hinges are right for a genuine Westy pop top. Others will know for sure. E D I T, having said that, a westy one may fit. Plenty of sources for new ones.

The bed base is looks like a mosaik joker, but the roof itsel is definitively a westfalia copy with the front style of a reimo roof.
Isnt it an early spaceroof model? http://www.spaceroofs.co.uk/type-25-elevating-roof.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Or there was a guy called Lance who made copies earlier but never seel his copies on photo.

I have the same roof ( as yet unfitted ) and understand it to be a Riemo. Westy has an overlapping seal, Riemo seals to van roof at front behind luggage rack.
I need a canvas too. I tried an old torn westy item that appeared a little long.
There must be someone else on here with a riemo who knows.
I can't see from the pictures, is the front a luggage rack or does it have a smooth top?

Doing a quick Google, Reimo do stock spare parts, might be worth speaking to one of their registered UK agents

Incidentally, if you cahnge the search perameters, turns out there are quite a lot of reimo dealers in spain too.


reimo do show something similar to your roof on their website
