Sparkie19 Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Hi All, I'm new here so please go easy on me. Me and my partner are in the process of finding our first Alphard. We are after a 2.4 Litre Petrol which we will get converted by Campervans4FunUK up in Macclesfield as they are local to us in Manchester. I have a few questions that I would greatly appreciate any insight on. What's the real world MPG of a 2.4 once converted with a full side conversion and pop-top. I have read 25-30 is realistic? Can anyone recommend an installer of a pop top roof so we can sleep upstairs? Any help is greatly apprecaited. Cheers Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nov Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 (edited) Hi Mark, 1. Correct, you will get something around 25. Conversion and the roof doesn't add that much weight to be fair (as far as kitchen units are made from plywood). 2. Have a look on Drivelodge website and their recommended installers. http://drivelodge.co.uk/a-drivelodge-fitter-near-you Edited October 11, 2021 by nov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So has it that I have just contacted them but was after a recommendation from someone who has one. Is that 25 on a good day or average of combined town/motorway sorry?

Mine was fitted by Northstar Conversions and 25 is average combined for my 2.4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkie19 Posted October 13, 2021 Author Share Posted October 13, 2021 Thanks everyone. We've found a couple of quality 2.4 Alphards that are recently imported, we've also found a Drive Lodge fitter near to Manchester and a local conversion company that can all do it in Feb 2022, so I think we're going to bite the bullet. Can anyone else recommend what to look out for on a 2.4 2005/2006 when checking them out at dealers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
