The Citroen Dispatch with LWB Front Elevating Roof Conversion (Long Wheelbase) is one of the most capable vans in its class, offering a spacious load area, modern driving performance, and strong compatibility with campervan layouts. However, it still suffers from the same issue as most mid-size vans — a lack of internal standing height.
Enter the Citroen Dispatch LWB Front Elevating Roof Conversion by Kinmel Campers.
This premium pop-top roof opens your Dispatch LWB to a whole new world of usability. Whether you’re cooking, moving around the van, or relaxing after a long drive, the extra headroom creates a brighter, more open living space. Add an optional bed system, scenic canvas for outdoor views, and factory-style colour-matching for the ultimate stealth camper conversion.
All roofs are professionally installed and backed by our comprehensive 5-year warranty. It’s the most valuable and transformative upgrade you can make to your Dispatch camper project.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Can I sleep in the pop-top section?
Yes — with our optional bed boards, the roof becomes a practical sleeping area.
Does the pop-top affect fuel economy?
Not significantly. Our aerodynamic design keeps drag low when the roof is closed.
Is the canvas waterproof?
Yes — we use marine-grade, UV-stable, waterproof canvas that can handle year-round conditions.
Do I lose storage space by cutting the roof?
Not at all. You gain vertical space and the option of extra sleeping quarters — no cabinetry or rear layout loss.
Can you install near me?
