More space in a compact camper! When camping, every little bit of space is worth its weight in gold. After all, in addition to a bed, table, and kitchen, luggage, people, and a pet or two also have to fit inside. To ensure you have a cozy retreat after a day of fun and adventure where you can relax and recharge your batteries, a pop-top roof is ideal. It extends in an instant and transforms your VW T5, T6, or T6.1 into a comfortable oasis of well-being. However, not every panel van has this practical feature. Here you can find out how to retrofit the pop-top roof in your Bulli and what you need for the installation.

Pop-top roof selection and installation from a single source
Since independently installing a pop-top roof requires a lot of know-how and craftsmanship and is not entirely without risk, we recommend that you have this work carried out exclusively by professionals. Safe participation in road traffic is only possible if the roof has been assembled and fastened correctly. The measurements must also be accurate to the centimeter. If you accidentally saw something incorrectly, you will quickly have a hole too large in the roof of your vehicle and a big problem. To ensure you don't experience this stress, we at MobyVan take care of installing your sleeping roof. Together, we'll look at which SCA roof is suitable for you and your camper and advise you on your choice. Once you have decided on a model, we will professionally install it in your vehicle. Upon request, we also carry out other conversion work such as electrical installation, water connection, and window installation. This way, you can transform your van into a cozy space without stress and with minimal effort.

Frequently Asked Questions

While a pop-top roof has a solid roof, its walls are tent-like. Light wind and rain are not an issue, but extreme weather conditions can make it uncomfortable. We therefore recommend using special covers for the pop-top roof, which offer additional protection.
If you're traveling in low temperatures, it can get cold in the pop-top roof. However, if you take a few precautions, you can still sleep in it without any problems. A weather protection cover, also known as a "cap", is a must-have for every pop-top roof. It keeps the warmth in and protects against wind and weather. If you also have an auxiliary heater in your vehicle, you can even sleep in the pop-top roof in snow and sub-zero temperatures!
