Skylift Roof & Northstar Outback Conversion

Post by digitalgypsy » Mon Sep 28, 2015 1:37 pm

Hello Bongo comrades,

Just wondering if anyone out there has got the above combination - JAL's Skylift roof plus the Outback rear conversion by Northstar. I'm getting very close to buying the next and final Bongo so weighing up the options very carefully. Specifically wondering if you can stand up at the sink/cooker when inside.

Bit of a long shot but hey ho :)

The Skylift roof lifts very high. I can't answer your question but it gives the best aftermarked headroom after the mushroom side lifting roof (also JAL). Someone will be along soon I'm sure.

Most probably I have this combination. If so, no, you cannot stand at the back...:-(

Thanks for letting me know Ignis. That's good to know in a way! Wouldn't worry too much, the smaller space of the Bongo is just something you learn to love a bit more :) Rest assured you get a bit more headroom with the Skylift though compared to an AFT.

true, though I have been slightly disappointed by the lack of ventilation in Skylift and not a single window to look at stars.:-)
