Transform your DFSK EC35 electric van into a fully usable micro camper with a professionally fitted rear elevating roof conversion by Pop Top Nation.
This upgrade adds vital standing height, improves interior comfort, and even allows for an optional sleeping area — all while keeping the EC35’s compact and aerodynamic profile that makes it ideal for both city driving and long road trips.
🌟 Why Choose a Rear Elevating Roof for the DFSK EC35
The DFSK EC35 is fast becoming a favourite for UK vanlifers and eco-conscious adventurers thanks to its:
-
⚡ Fully electric, zero-emission powertrain
-
🚐 Compact size for easy city driving and stealth camping
-
🧳 Spacious cargo bay for camper layouts
-
💰 Affordable running costs and great value for conversion
However, like most small vans, its limited roof height can make it hard to move comfortably inside.
Our rear elevating pop-top roof solves this by providing:
-
✅ Full standing height at the rear: Ideal for kitchen units, storage areas, or camper layouts.
-
✅ Optional sleeping platform: Create a flexible extra bed without losing valuable floor space.
-
✅ Lightweight, aerodynamic design: Adds minimal weight, protecting your EV’s range and efficiency.
-
✅ Durability and weatherproofing: Tested to handle the UK’s wet, windy, and cold conditions.
Whether you’re converting for weekend adventures or building a full-time electric micro camper, this upgrade makes your EC35 far more practical and comfortable.
