🚐 Expand Your Ford Transit Custom LWB with a Premium Front Elevating Roof Conversion | Ford Transit Custom LWB Elevating Roof Conversion

The Ford Transit Custom LWB (2012–2024+) is a long-standing favourite for campervan conversions — and with good reason. Its longer wheelbase allows for better layout flexibility, more internal storage, and greater comfort. But without the ability to stand up inside, even the best layout can feel cramped. Ford Transit Custom LWB Elevating Roof Conversion

That’s where our front elevating roof conversion comes in. Expertly engineered to integrate seamlessly with the Transit Custom LWB — including the new 2024+ shape — this pop-top roof gives you more space, better airflow, extra light, and the potential for an additional sleeping area. It’s the ultimate way to unlock your van’s full potential.

🧱 Tailored to Fit Ford Transit Custom LWB Models (2012–2024+)

Our front-lifting elevating roof is specifically designed to fit all long-wheelbase (LWB) Ford Transit Custom models, including:

• ✅ 2012–2023 legacy shape

• ✅ 2024+ new-generation Transit Custom LWB

No matter which variant you own, this professionally installed roof ensures a flawless fit, rugged durability, and improved functionality. It’s ideal for self-builders, part-time tourers, or full-time vanlifers looking for maximum use of interior space.

🔧 What’s Included?

With every Ford Transit Custom LWB roof conversion, you’ll receive:

• A precision-moulded fibreglass front-elevating roof shell

• Durable, marine-grade canvas sides (multiple colours available)

• Integrated LED ceiling lighting, flush-mounted with hidden wiring

• A reinforced internal mounting frame for strength and safety

• All necessary sealants, fixings, and hinges

• Professional installation

• 5-Year Warranty on parts and labour

This roof is not just functional — it’s engineered to blend seamlessly with the look and structure of your Transit.

🌟 Key Features & Benefits

✅ Standing Room Where You Need It

The front-lifting roof design gives full standing height in your van’s primary living and cooking area — making it far more comfortable for day-to-day use.

✅ Purpose-Built for the LWB Transit

Custom-made to fit the longer body, this isn’t a stretched version of a SWB roof — it’s a purpose-built solution designed for the LWB chassis, ensuring correct balance, seal integrity, and aesthetics.

✅ Factory-Look Aesthetic

The roof sits low when closed, blending in with the van’s silhouette and improving MPG by reducing drag.

✅ Made in Britain – Built to Perform

Manufactured in the UK to withstand British weather, from torrential rain to frosty nights and blazing summer heat.

✅ Integrated Lighting

Pre-installed flush-mounted LEDs illuminate your interior without compromising space or design. All wiring is neatly hidden for a clean finish.

🧱 Built to Last with UK Quality Craftsmanship

We know how demanding vanlife can be — that’s why our roofs are designed and tested for real-world use. Made with:

• ✅ Heavy-duty fibreglass shells

• ✅ Corrosion-resistant stainless steel hinges and hardware

• ✅ Marine-grade canvas with reinforced stitching

• ✅ Rubber sealing systems to prevent leaks

• ✅ Internal strengthening frames for safe, rigid installation

Every roof is professionally installed and built to last — whether you’re heading for the hills or hitting the motorway.
