T6.1 Isotop - Who has one?

CampervanTime · May 3, 2021

Hi Everyone

We are really keen on the idea of an Isotop for our new T6.1 Ocean and wondered who has actually got one, and more importantly, is there anyone in the East Midlands anywhere (we live near Melton Mowbray) with one that we could have a look at?

Ideally we want to see the one that fits calis with the panoramic zip down front part of the roof - I think that means it is an Isotop VI ?

It’s a lot of money to spend blind!!

Thanks

Will.

All I can say is it makes a massive difference to the inside of the van lots warmer and darker on a night I am really impressed a lot of money but well worth it.

And it folds in easily when lowering the roof?

Yes no problems ,I do unzip the front panel and remove which takes no time at all

Do does the whole of the front panel section actually come out of the isotop all together ?

Was it easy to fit please?

My son did a splendid job on mine....

He did say it was no problem to fit.

Yes very easy

I have started removing the isotop front panel as well, makes the roof hatch a lot easier to shut & only takes a few seconds.

There is also an optional fly screen that can be zipped in instead of the solid panel at the front.

can you use this with the automatic roof on the t6.1? The club shop seems to mention the’ ‘manual’ roof. Thanks

Hamish S · May 4, 2021

Mine has an electric roof and the Isotop fits no problem.

This is all very helpful, thank you. Does anyone have any pictures of the zip out bit or a video of the opening / closing procedure with it all fitted? Just looking to see what you have to do. Does the front piece still have Velcro tabs at the top like the previous versions? How easy are they to attach / detach the Isotop from (in terms of reaching them)?

Thanks

There are two versions of the isotop for the T6.1 - one for manual roof, one for the electric roof.

Not much to show really ,I just sit on the top bed or stand on the seats at the front attach to the4 Velcro tabs at the top let it hang down zip up both sides then it sticks to the Velcro strip at the bottom job done

Sounds nice and easy - and way easier than putting anything on outside!!

Another advantage is there is a fly screen that can go in the front as well, where the front zips out

I presume this is extra and not included with the isotop?
