Question: I want to change a Ford Transit 190 LWB (Ereg) low roof into a hi top. Can anyone tell me how/ who can do it?
I have an old but very sound transit converted to a camper van but it doesn’t have a high top roof. I am able to get the hi top but am struggling to find someone who knows how to fit it. Is it possible DIY or is there someone out there experienced in doing these conversions on old vans?

As i would involve altering the body then u need to make sure the strength of the body is not affected.
Unless u know what ur doing then would surgest u consult a bodyshop.

first you need hightop then you need to cut the top of the roof [right to the edge] make sure you dont cut any main frame away then you need brackets or better long bracket rail all the way around. also put very strong solvent on the back of the bracket or better welding it. then bolt the high top to the frame use very strong solvent to connect hightop to the frame[ bracket rail] make sure it has rubber seal/bush between the bracket and high top when connected this is if it is fiber glass high top if its steel hightop just weld the hole lot to the steel bracket frame. also it is better if you put a bracket frame on hightop to .
important to measure your van and from the van you are taking the hightop off
