I was the editor of VW Camper & commercial until it went down the pan quite recently. Whether I know more than anyone is an interesting point!

Have a picture of my bus which I've been camping in for the last quarter of a century; 'the bay of lasting joy'.

It's a '79 bay with a 1600 T1 engine and suspension which has been slightly, and though I say it myself, very stylishly pineappled at the front.
Is the roof only partly up?

I see what you're saying, but the roof only raises to its fullest opening, there's no half way stage. The bellows do look a bit slack in that picture. I've since had them made much tighter. I suspect that it's also a bit of an illusion caused by a very strong wind.

The bellows on our Dormobile roof were tight when it was open. No wrinkles.
