🚐 Rear Elevating Roof for DFSK EC35 – Electrify Your Campervan Conversion

The DFSK EC35 is an all-electric, compact panel van that’s quickly gaining popularity among eco-conscious vanlifers and urban delivery operators across the UK. With its efficient electric drivetrain, modern cab, and spacious cargo area, the EC35 offers a future-ready foundation for your next camper conversion.

But like all small vans, headroom is limited — especially when you start building out your interior.

Our rear elevating roof conversion solves this by adding much-needed standing height to the back of the EC35, turning this electric workhorse into a compact, liveable, and road-ready micro camper. Whether you’re converting for weekend escapes or looking to build the UK’s cleanest stealth camper, this upgrade is the key to comfort and usability.

🔧 Tailor-Made for the DFSK EC35

This isn’t a one-size-fits-all pop-top — it’s a professionally designed rear-lifting elevating roof made specifically for the DFSK EC35. It matches the van’s compact footprint and body lines, maintaining aerodynamics and urban-friendly dimensions while drastically increasing internal versatility.

Rear lifting maximises the standing space towards the back of the van, perfect for kitchen units, wardrobes, or modular furniture in micro camper layouts.

The EC35’s 100% electric platform pairs beautifully with a lightweight, low-profile pop-top — giving you more usable space without sacrificing range or efficiency.
