The Honda Stepwagon Front Elevating Roof Conversion is the perfect upgrade for one of Japan’s most popular family MPVs. Known for its roomy cabin, clever design, and reliable performance, the Stepwagon has long been a favourite among UK vanlife enthusiasts and camper converters.
Despite its impressive interior space, the Stepwagon’s low roof height can be restrictive — particularly for cooking, dressing, or moving about inside.
That’s why our professionally installed Front Elevating Pop-Top Roof Conversion is a game-changer. Designed to suit both UK and Japanese import Stepwagons, it unlocks vertical living space, creates the option for a second sleeping area, and transforms your van into a genuine multi-level camper — all while keeping the Stepwagon’s modern, sleek silhouette.
Whether you’re planning weekend trips, long-distance adventures, or simply upgrading your daily driver to double as a camper, this conversion makes your Stepwagon more versatile, comfortable, and camper-ready.
