Subject: Re: toppola camper


As someone who has considered turning a 4-Door C900 into a wagon-back, a-la the Renault Combi Express, I've considered one of these. > How much do these bolt on campers cost and where do you buy them ? I saw one for 15.000 SEK, they seem to be available in Scandinavia only. > Are they any good - top heavy ?, fuel consumption ? Well, good is what you make of it. Scandinavians in general, and Swedes in specific, love to "Caravan" in the summer, so the standard of "good" is below that of your average American. I've slept in a "beach cottage" on the coast that was 1.5m X 2.5m, and this was with two other people (bunks). A lot of people I know in America could not have physically fit into the cabin, and would not have enjoyed the sleeping experience. If you go back into the history of SAAB, you'll note that the 95 (not 9-5) Wagon was marketed in Scandinavia as being able to sleep two in the back as an "instant caravan." There were bed kits for it, and even the 96 (that's a tighter fit than I want to imagine, but I do love camping in the back of my MY73 95). Top Heavy? Of course. Fuel Consumption? Yes. > Any ideas ? Well, start here: http://hem.passagen.se/lamini/topp.html http://www.m/features/saab_900/misc/toppola_a.php You could possibly have it imported at a shipping price around $500 USD slow boat freight. However, my idea would still be to raise the roofline and install a wagon door onto the back of a C900 4-Door. lycka till! GTr
