Serena’s adaptable cabin and excellent fuel economy make it a solid base vehicle for campervan conversions.
But to unlock its full camper potential, it needs one crucial upgrade: vertical space.
Our rear elevating roof conversion for the Nissan Serena adds valuable standing room, optional sleeping space, and ventilation — transforming this everyday people carrier into a highly capable micro camper without compromising comfort or drivability.
🔧 Made for the Nissan Serena (2005–2011)
This roof conversion is engineered specifically for the 2005–2011 Nissan Serena models — ensuring an exact fit to the roof profile, safe structural integration, and a sleek, low-profile finish.
Unlike universal pop tops, this is a tailored rear-lifting elevating roof that perfectly complements the Serena’s design. It provides excellent headroom in the rear living area, ideal for a conversion layout that includes a kitchen pod, wardrobe, or rear seating.
Whether you’re planning short weekend breaks or extended family road trips, this conversion adds essential usability to the Serena’s already impressive space.
