This is off a Puck caravan, but they are similar to VW camper pop up roof thingies.

What are they called and where can I get some???

Not sure, But it might not be that difficult to fashion a pair.

Probably not, but I only own a big saw, a grinder, a drill and a hammer.

Check with some vendors over there; they are canopy supports

Buy a trashed caravan ("trailer" for those of us in the US) and scavenge the whole pop top. (I have one from an old VW camper that I will be dropping on top of my cargo conversion)

They are very popular in Australia so you might find it easiest to just buy online from an Australian company and have it shipped - they can be heavy so you would want to know the shipping costs before you buy!

Just search on 'canopy lifters' in Australian Google. An Australian dollar and a US dollar are worth about the same today.
