Elevating Roofs
Head Space Guaranteed
An elevating roof is the ultimate enhancement to a camper. It will maximise the space inside your van and provide some much appreciated head room. With the addition of an elevating roof bed, you can multiple the sleeping capacity or create a cosy platform for night time stargazing! Our in-house fitment is subject to the same rigorous standards as the manufacturing process.
We aim to offer as much choice to customers as possible. That’s why we offer UK manufactured roof systems such as Austops and Skyline, as well as German produced Reimo and SCA.

SCA 194 High Lift SWB T5/T6 Features
-
Completely new development and the use of the technically demanding vacuum expansion process for the production of the roof shell – an innovation in this product range – form the basis for the production of a sleeper roof with many advantages.
-
The high scissor lifts provide significantly more legroom and enable a sleeping position to be adopted with the head to the rear. The lift has been increased by 25 cm compared with the previous solution.
-
Included in the package is a pop-top wooden slatted bed. High-quality slats with an aluminium frame provide even more comfort when reclining and sleeping.
-
The roof has a higher lift at the rear for more headroom and extra struts for more stability. The curvature of the slats provides more headroom for rear-seat passengers when the bed is folded down and the roof is closed.
-
The locking mechanism is a reliable solution and is done with new Southco locks with integral safety bolts which enable the roof to be locked easily and securely.
-
The roof shell is manufactured using the sophisticated vacuum expansion process. This guarantees accurate and consistent wall thicknesses and enables the external surface of the roof shell to be smooth and non-profiled – an ideal prerequisite for direct attachment of thin solar films just a few millimetres thick without significantly increasing the overall height of the vehicle.
