The Ford Transit SWB (6th Gen) Pop-Top Roof Conversion is the ultimate upgrade for this trusted and versatile van. Produced between 2000 and 2006, the sixth-generation Transit is still a favourite for campervan projects thanks to its sturdy build, straightforward mechanics, and generous interior.

However, the one thing it lacks is vertical space.
That’s where our expertly installed Front Elevating Pop-Top Roof transforms the experience.

At Pop Top Nation, we give your Transit SWB the standing height and extra sleeping capacity it deserves — without compromising its compact size or everyday drivability. It’s a modern upgrade that breathes new life into one of the UK’s most iconic vans.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. With the bed boards fitted, the roof easily supports two people.

Is it safe to cut into the Transit’s roof?
Absolutely. We reinforce the opening with a steel subframe to maintain structural integrity and safety.

Will it leak or rattle?
No. Our roofs use marine-grade seals, stainless steel hinges, and precision bonding to prevent leaks or unwanted noise.

Does it fit around existing camper layouts?
In most cases, yes. We’ll review your interior setup during booking to ensure compatibility.

Will this help with DVLA reclassification?
Yes. A professionally installed elevating roof is often a key requirement for achieving motor caravan status.
