How to Find a Tent Topper for the Pop Up Tent

A pop up camper uses a combination of metal, hard-shell plastic and fabric to make the camping cabin. Like any piece of outdoor gear, the pop up roof-topper wears out over time due to weather, UV rays and use. If you need to find a topper for the pop up camper, an efficient method is to bring the make and model number to a dealer to special order the topper specific for your rig.

      Write down the pop up camper's serial number, VIN (if your camper has one), make and model. Include the year of the camper in your list. A VIN is the vehicle identification number; not all campers have one, but if yours does, look for it along the door jamb.

      Go to a RV or camper dealer specific to your model and make. For example, if you need a topper for a 2011 Starcraft pop up, go to a Starcraft dealer. Present the information to the agent, tell them you need a topper and look over the availalbe options.

      Use online resources like eBay, online classified ads and local trading pages. Go tho the "General" or "RV" section to locate the topper or pop up camper parts. Good resources for pop up camper parts include RV Supply Warehouse, and Camping World. When contacting these businesses, be sure to bring your pop ups make, model and year of production to match up the topper to the camper.

      Put up ads online at the local classified sites or on sites like Craigslist (and the newer Backpages -- similar in nature to Craigslist). Be sure to include the make, model and year of the pop up you need the tent topper for. Place advertisements at bulletin boards at marine supply, RV and campground public boards.
