🚐 Rear Elevating Roof for Citroën Berlingo – Big Camper Potential in a Small Package

The Citroën Berlingo with rear elevating roof has earned its reputation as one of the UK’s most reliable and versatile small vans. Whether you drive it for work, family trips, or spontaneous weekend getaways, the Berlingo’s combination of comfort, practicality, and fuel efficiency makes it a top choice for campervan conversions.

But like many small vans, its internal height is a limiting factor. That’s where our rear elevating roof conversion comes in.

Professionally engineered and installed, this rear-lifting pop-top roof transforms your Berlingo into a fully functional micro camper — giving you precious headroom, optional sleeping space, and improved ventilation. Compact in size but big on adventure, this upgrade takes your Berlingo from useful to unforgettable.

🧱 Custom Fit for Citroën Berlingo Models

This rear elevating roof is designed specifically for the Citroën Berlingo SWB (Short Wheelbase) model, offering a snug, low-profile fit that complements the original lines of the van. The rear-lifting design maximises vertical space in the back — ideal for interior conversions with kitchen units, storage, or folding beds.

Whether you’re building a DIY micro camper or having a full conversion done, this roof gives your Berlingo the breathing room it needs to be used as a true liveable vehicle.

Compatible with:

• Citroën Berlingo SWB (2008 onwards)

• Peugeot Partner (equivalent model)

• Vauxhall Combo (same platform)
