Article Overview - Pop-Top Caravans
Take a look at the types of caravans being towed and you will soon notice how popular the pop-top caravan really is. These unique caravans with a height similar to the tow vehicle, gives the owner more flexibility and towing confidence. View Full Article...
I have a 2001 Jayco pop top and am having some trouble with the rubber seals between the pop top and the van top sticking together when it is stored for even a short while.

I have tried a number of possible solutions, but not worthwhile success.

Any suggestions.

Try coating one surface with a silicone spray such as CRC 808 Silicone Spray available fro auto accessory stores. Will not harm rubber and does not stay greasy.

Hi Brian,
One other thing the tie downs should NOT be tight. The top should have some movement to allow the van & top to "work" independently. You are probably aware of this but mentioned just in case.
