Hi all,
My Dormobile roof came without any headlining and I'd like to install some. I understand the original was hardboard or something similar. Has anyone had any luck fabricating the Dormobile style headlining or are there alternatives out there that may be worth looking at?
thanks Phin

Re: Mendo XX
I was in Mendocino last year (sadly not in a Land Rover). Lovely part of the world.

Re: Hi from Victoria, Australia
Put the Dormobile roof on today. It wasn't a big job, but that's mostly because we have a block and tackle in the shed. Now the fun begins with the interior... https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7259/13944241463_1193e4789c_b.jpg https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7459/13944250703_be284806b5_b.jpg https://fa...

Re: Hi from Victoria, Australia
Hi Jerry, I was leaning strongly towards painting it, but circumstances conspired against me: - The rest of car has what might charitably be described as a patina, which I quite like. With a clean and a polish the roof paint should lose some of its chalkiness and match the hard top sides colour bett...

Re: Hi from Victoria, Australia
The funny thing about the Trakka roof is that while the pop up part appears the same as a Kombi, the roof base looks to be designed specifically for the Land Rover. The length is spot on and the rear door arrangement looks like it came straight out of the fibreglass mould. It is odd that they decide...

Re: Hi from Victoria, Australia
Many thanks! The Trakka I have doesn't have any internal furniture at all. The company started around 1974 and my roof is on a late 2A so it's possible that it was transferred from another vehicle at some point. Apparently they did a few Land Rovers early on but I've never seen a photo of another on...

Hi from Victoria, Australia
Hi, my name's Phin and I've recently acquired some Land Rover camper bits. I grew up around Land Rovers, as my grandfather had them on the farm - in particular this one: http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8261/8688105354_ee824ec324_b.jpg About a year ago I was looking for some Saab 900 parts around Castl...
