Sounds like the one either from Seymour near the chain of lagoons or the one from Forth.

From memory the low-light factory high toppers had an extended sliding door to obvioulsy allow for increased access.

I remember one for sale that sat next to a huge shed on gumtree about 8 months ago?

This was what I thought was a factory high top:

Note the extension to the sliding door.

Maybe this is the Aussie version.

Scott that's German factory. The Australian factory ones used a normal door.

OK Phil.

However, I saw a RHD version of this for sale in Oz a year or so ago - it did have the tall sliding door on the drivers side though - might have been an import then conversion job??

Probably. Imagine trying to get a replacement door?

I think that the Aussie roofs were made by Sopru.

Thats what I thought and they were called the "Adventurer" camper model.

Adventurer was the normal common one. Wanderer was the high top.

Ahhh yes - thats the one - the Wanderer.

Not overly popular when first offered for sale but a few still around.

In '75 there was the Adventurer, Wanderer, Dormobile and another one. Was the 4th one called a Traveller or something?
