Keep an eye on the mountings for the cables as it has been known for these to rip out.

If I remember when I was looking at this model, check where the winch is to put the camper up as it rots and rips the winch out.check around this area and reinforce where this sits.

Hi always remember to undo ALL the roof clips before starting winding as you will break the cables otherwise - expensive mistake! It also helps to wind the top down fully clip it all and then do a half turn back before travelling as this will stop the cables jumping whilst travelling.
check out the conway owners site lots fo advise re hardtops on there.

thanks for the tips, we will make sure we do the half turn every time now, it is useful to know, he's to many trips away in our little camper, we love it!!
