🚐 Unlock Your Toyota Regius Camper Potential with a Front Elevating Roof Conversion

The Toyota Regius with Front Elevating Roof Conversion is a rising star in the world of Japanese import campervans. With its sleek design, comfortable interior, and strong reputation for reliability, it’s no surprise that more vanlifers across the UK are converting the Regius into a versatile camper. But there’s one major upgrade that turns this capable MPV into a fully functional motorhome:

A front elevating pop-top roof conversion.

Whether you’re upgrading an existing build or starting fresh, our professionally installed pop-top provides essential standing room, optional sleeping space, improved ventilation, and a sleek low-profile finish — without sacrificing everyday drivability.


🔧 Designed Specifically for the Toyota Regius

This front elevating roof is precision engineered to fit:

  • Toyota Regius (1995–2004)

  • Compatible with both 2WD and 4WD variants

  • Diesel (3.0L) and petrol (2.7L) models

  • Often imported under names like HiAce Regius or Granvia Regius

  • Models with and without sunroofs (sunroof removal included if applicable)

If your Regius is a rear-converted camper or in the planning stages, this is the roof upgrade you need to transform it into a full campervan.


🧰 What’s Included in the Conversion?

At Kinmel Campers, we don’t just install a roof — we deliver a professionally engineered system that enhances your vehicle from the inside out.

Your Regius elevating roof installation includes:

  • ✔️ Custom fibreglass shell with low-profile aerodynamic design

  • ✔️ Gas-assisted lifting system with stainless steel hinges

  • ✔️ Weatherproof, breathable canvas walls (range of colours available)

  • ✔️ Integrated flush-fit LED lighting

  • ✔️ Internal steel reinforcement frame for structural support

  • ✔️ Complete weather sealing and bonding

  • ✔️ 5-year warranty (parts and labour)

  • ✔️ Installation at Kinmel Campers or via our approved fitters

This is a turnkey campervan upgrade, professionally fitted and built for long-term durability.

🧠 Frequently Asked Questions

Will this fit all Regius models?
Yes — it’s designed for all Regius vans from 1995–2004, including those badged as HiAce Regius and Granvia Regius. Contact us if unsure.

Can I keep my sunroof?
Most pop-top conversions involve removing sunroofs. We professionally seal and cover this area during installation.

How tall will my van be after the roof is installed?
Slightly taller, but still under most 2m height restrictions. Check local car park restrictions if roof rails or accessories are added.

Is the canvas insulated?
While breathable and waterproof, it’s not insulated. You can add thermal liners if needed for winter camping.

Is the LED lighting dimmable?
Not as standard, but a dimmer upgrade can be added upon request.

Do I need to upgrade suspension after installation?
No — the roof adds minimal weight. Standard suspension is typically sufficient unless you’re adding multiple heavy conversions.

Does the roof rattle or create wind noise?
No — the roof sits flush with a front spoiler to reduce drag and eliminate turbulence.

Can I book installation through Kinmel Campers?
Yes — we offer fitting at our North Wales HQ, and can refer you to trusted approved fitters UK-wide.
