🚐 Unlock the True Potential of Your Nissan NV350 with a Pop-Top Roof Conversion
The Nissan NV350 is a highly capable, modern van that strikes the perfect balance between practicality, reliability, and size — making it a strong candidate for campervan conversions across the UK. But even with its generous load space, the van’s limited headroom can restrict movement and usability inside your build.
That’s where our front elevating roof conversion comes in.
Professionally engineered for the Nissan NV350, this front-lifting pop-top roof adds essential vertical space to your interior, transforming your vehicle into a comfortable, flexible, and stylish home on wheels — ideal for adventurers, tradespeople, or full-time vanlifers.

This elevating roof is tailored specifically to the Nissan NV350 (including both NV350 Caravan and Urvan models). With a front-lifting design and a low-profile finish, it’s the ultimate space-saving upgrade for your Japanese import or UK-converted NV350.
