The LEVC VN5 with Front Elevating Roof Conversion — the plug-in hybrid van developed by the makers of the iconic London black cab — is quickly emerging as one of the most eco-conscious choices for campervan conversions. With its electric range, petrol backup, and sleek design, the VN5 blends futuristic performance with classic practicality.

But what the VN5 gains in efficiency, it sacrifices in headroom. That’s why our front elevating roof conversion is the ultimate upgrade — transforming your LEVC VN5 into a full standing-height camper, with the option for additional sleeping space, natural light, and breathability.

This professionally installed pop-top roof is purpose-designed for the VN5, offering a factory-grade finish, robust construction, and a wide range of optional extras — all backed by a 5-year warranty.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Will this roof affect the electric range or fuel economy?
Not significantly. The roof is lightweight (~45kg) and aerodynamically shaped to reduce drag.

Can I stand fully inside the VN5 after conversion?
Yes — the front-lifting roof gives approx. 2.1m head height depending on flooring.

Does the VN5 need modification to install this roof?
Yes. The factory roof is professionally cut, and a reinforced steel subframe is fitted.

Can I order this roof without installation?
No — to protect structural integrity and validate your 5-year warranty, roofs are installed by Kinmel Campers or an approved partner.

Will this work with my existing interior conversion?
In most cases, yes — but we’ll need to check headliner, cupboard and wiring clearances before booking.

🏕️ Why Add a Pop-Top Roof to the LEVC VN5?

The VN5 is one of the smartest vans on the market — but as standard, it lacks the standing space and functionality of a true camper.

Our elevating roof fixes that instantly:

• ✅ Turn your van into a camper

• ✅ Stand up and move freely inside

• ✅ Add sleeping space and ventilation

• ✅ Keep your van hybrid-friendly & efficient

• ✅ Avoid roof box clutter or trailer upgrades

• ✅ Improve your resale value & lifestyle use

Whether you’re using the VN5 for business in the week or camping at the weekend — this is the upgrade that makes both better.
