I m following your guys foot steps and building a wooden roof.
Raise the roof in a van.
The curve of the roof at the very end running the length of the van is more then i expected and looks like its gonna be a problem when i try to mount the first 2 4.
I am using a ford econoline extended 350 instead.
There is more than one way to achieve.
Noise your van is going to sound much different with a raised roof.

Currently gutting the van now and getting ready to make the cuts.
Some rvs can be out of reach for many would be weekend warriors.
Insulation insulation makes the roof quieter and the entire van more comfortable.
Unless you are merely looking for more room to haul your cargo be sure to buy an insulated hi top.
The making and fitting of the elevating roof on my vauxhaul vivaro camper van low profile keeps the van under 2 metres high.
