Compatible Vehicles

• VW Crafter MWB (2017 Onwards)
• MAN TGE MWB (2017 Onwards)

Why Front-Opening?

The front-opening design hinges at the rear, raising the front of the roof to position full standing headroom directly over the kitchen and living area — exactly where you spend most of your time. It creates a bright, open interior and excellent natural ventilation through the canvas sides. Reinforced B-posts maintain seatbelt mounting integrity and structural safety after roof removal.

Built for British Weather, Year-Round

Fitted from our workshop in Worcestershire, serving customers across the West Midlands, Birmingham, Coventry, Shropshire, Herefordshire, Wales, Gloucestershire, Bristol and nationwide.

Ventilation and Applicable Standards

Applicable standards depend on the work carried out and the vehicle’s specification. BS EN 721 (Leisure accommodation vehicles — Safety ventilation requirements) covers the minimum sizes and positions of permanent ventilation openings to help manage gas build-up and carbon monoxide risks. Ventilation must be considered for both LPG-equipped and gas-free vans. BS EN 1949 applies to LPG installations where fitted and is not applicable to gas-free builds.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the VW Crafter MWB a good campervan base?
Yes — the Crafter MWB is one of the best large van platforms for a full campervan conversion in the UK. Its generous load floor, excellent build quality, and flat floor make it ideal for a comprehensive layout with a kitchen, sleeping area, and storage. CCCampers, as a UK specialist in campervan conversions and all-electric campervan work, regularly fit pop-top roofs and full conversions to the Crafter and MAN TGE.

What is the difference between the VW Crafter and MAN TGE?
The VW Crafter and MAN TGE are platform siblings — they share the same bodyshell and architecture from 2017 onwards. The pop-top roof fitment is identical across both. The main differences are badging, grille design, and minor interior trim details. If you have either van, the same roof and fitment process applies.

Why choose a front-opening pop-top roof for the Crafter?
A front-opening roof hinges at the rear and raises the front, positioning maximum headroom over the kitchen and living area — exactly where you spend most of your time in the van. In a large van like the Crafter, this gives you a genuinely spacious cooking and living environment, with excellent natural ventilation through the canvas sides.

How long does pop-top roof installation take?
Most Crafter and TGE MWB pop-top roof fittings are completed within 3–5 days at our Worcestershire workshop. Lead times vary by season — book early to secure your preferred slot, especially ahead of summer.

Is the fitting included in the price?
Yes — the £3,799 price includes full professional installation by our NCC Academy Trained and IMI TechSafe registered technicians. VAT is included.

Can I add a roof bed or solar panels?
Yes — a push-up roof bed and solar panel integration are optional add-ons and are not included as standard. Discuss your full build specification when you enquire.
