Having just seen the new pop top roof insulation shown on Andrew Ditton's interesting blog I have looked on Hymer's Accessory catalogue for details about this insulation which it says is new, there is a good photo and a short explanation of how it works. However this is a reference to it fixing using FIDLOCK magnets. I can find no mention of these elsewhere on the site.

does anyone know of these and have perhaps used them? Even better is there anyone who has bought this piece of kit? As it is priced at 229 Euros, I shouldn't image there would be loads of people. MikeT

Have you used these on your Erba. I've downloading the connection to the photo Hymer use to illustrate the insulation and it says:

"Magnetic lower parts are clipped onto the canvas material of the pop top roof inside the vehicle and the two part set is then attached to these parts. The shell is thensimply inserted behind the roof edge trim...."

It looks like the magnets are then attached to the metal trim on the edge of the roof. I am reading this correctly

Thanks Randa
My thought was if I could wok out how they were fitted and worked on the pop top I could try to go down PopTop 320s route and try to knock up something that looked similar to the Hymer product. Or even perhaps to price up someone local to make me something similar but at a more reasonable price. Might just be one of my more fanciful ideas. MikeT

Thanks Pepe
You might be right about the costings for someone else to do it. I think the Hymer one does look very smart but couldn't justify spending over £200 on it.My wife has just retired so I might risk my health and well-being and suggest that she takes up sewing as a hobby.

I like the comment about the blanket but that isn't the problem . In freezing weather I am like toast except for my foically challenged crown and my ears. The addition of a bobble hat just makes me too hot!!!!!!! MikeT

To be honest I made mine to keep the early morning sunlight out, I was getting fed up of the dog waking us up for an early morning walk at 5am.. We all now get a nice lie in and it has the added benefit of keeping the heat in..
