When considering a campervan conversion. The Toyota Land Cruiser Camper is one of the most popular choices. When installed by a professional on the Sunshine Coast, this conversion offers many benefits that you will enjoy.
Before you make your choice, it pays to know what a conversion is, how much it may cost, and what is needed to complete the installation properly.
Pop Top Definition
Put simply, a pop top is an expandable roof that can be folded into place when driving, then expanded upwards when camping. When installed correctly, the pop top will provide additional space for a bed or platform.
Think of it as a tent that you can set up with one lift or touch of a button. When fully extended, you have the benefits of a tent without having to step outside your vehicle.
Campervan Conversion to a Land Cruiser
There are several factors that go into the cost of a Land Cruiser camper conversion. Just some of the issues include the following.
- Brand of the Roof
- Type of Canvas
- Long or Short Wheel Base Toyota 4WD
- Whether it is Colour Coded
- Safety Accreditation, Hinge Options, and Fastening Mechanisms
And then there are the labour costs for the installation. A professional installer will be able to talk through the costings with you before you make any decisions.
Professional Installation or DIY in Australia
If you have experience with the tools needed for installation and have worked on similar jobs before, then you can install the pop top yourself. In most circumstances in Australia, you will need the following.
- Angle Grinder, Clamps, and Electric Drill with proper drill bits
- Gearbox Jacks, Pop Rivet Gun, and screwdrivers
- Silicone, Sealant Gun, and other accessories
With these tools and the proper instruction, you can install most types of pop top roofs. However, if you have little to no experience then you might make mistakes. This will not only compromise the conversion, but the vehicle itself. That is why hiring a professional on the Sunshine Coast is recommended.
Check in with your insurance company to make sure the conversion will be covered if installed by you. If installed by a professional company, they will have followed all the safety procedures and have a warranty for the work carried out.
Safety Options for the conversion on your Toyota 4WD
Confirm with the professional installer that the conversion on the Toyota 4WD has undergone safety testing from a manufacturer that is TUV tested. This ensures the roof fits properly and avoids safety considerations.
Be sure to have a proper locking system in place. Otherwise, the top may expand when you are driving.
Profile, Colour Coding for the Camper Conversion
The profile of the conversion should match your needs first and aesthetic considerations last. For those who do not like high profile roofs, there are some low profile models available.
Most people like the roof to match the vehicle in terms of colour. The simplest is to use Gel-Coat colour matching. You can colour match using a non-metallic colour which avoids blistering or flaking.
Plus, you can choose from several options in terms of style that may best suit your vehicle.
