As standard all our elevating roof campervans are fitted with our own designed Jerba Campervans pop top roof – our Tiree, Cromarty, Sanna and Taransay layouts
High-end features engineered to perfection we feel make our roof an innovative step ahead of the rest;

Most pop top roofs have a recommended maximum carrying capacity of 60KG, but our super strong fibreglass structure is 17mm thick which means you can carry kayaks, canoes or just plenty of extra gear hidden away in a roof box.

The Jerba elevating roof is installed with a simple internal rotary lock which is combined with webbing straps. This makes it easy to use and is located in view so you can be 100% sure that it is fully engaged. Other pop top roof designs often hide such locks from view and snagging the roof canvas inside the mechanism can be a real issue. The lock is finished in stainless steel.

We’ve sourced a tough and durable mesh screen that won’t tear and snag. Fine enough to keep the smallest Scottish midge out your camper, you can open vents when cooking without letting in the biting monsters! All our mesh vents can be totally covered or uncovered by either a zip or Velcro flap – so if you don’t want a cold draft then you can easily cover it up.

Having seen too many weak and poor quality gas struts rust, leak fluid and fail on other elevating roofs, we only fit far stronger struts with a wider gauge and far greater durability. The high quality struts we fit make opening and closing the roof simple.

We have invested in a complete seam sealing machine that will make the stitched seams in our Ventile roof canvas 100% watertight – just like your Goretex jacket! The current solution from other campervan converters is to supply customers with a basic tube of seam seal glue for a DIY temporary fix, something that we felt was just not good enough

Just unzip and slide the canvas free, it’s a simple 5 minute job that you can do home. If you somehow damage the canvas and it’s in need of repair then there’s no need for a specialist converter to be involved – just remove it at home and post it to us. Saving you travel time and hours of labour costs to remove and replace.

Attention to detail means that the Jerba pop top roof is gently curved in a convex shape to always shed rainwater and prevent rainwater puddles forming on top of the van.

The Jerba pop top roof features a watertight zip manufactured by global market leader YKK. Take a closer look at the vast majority of high performance outdoor wear and you’ll find a YKK zip. Undo our watertight YKK zip to remove the whole canvas, or just unzip the front to allow in the sun, or to just enjoy the fresh air and take in a view. With a chunky gauge it’s simple to zip and unzip, it won’t catch, jam and burst.

Using very high specification 100% cotton Ventile material means full breathability but also excellent water and wind tightness. Ventile is spun, woven and dyed in Switzerland and is used worldwide by organisations such as NATO. This high performance cotton fabric is a step above the regular cotton fabrics used by other elevating roof manufacturers. Take a look at our The Importance of a Ventile Cotton Roof Canvas blog article to understand the key advantages of a Ventile roof canvas.

Fibre glass construction with a maximum closed height of two metres and a fixed sleek nose cone design that reduces wind noise and compliments the lines and look of the Transporter T5, T6 & T6.1.

The Jerba elevating roof has the option of a Beech wood slatted roof bed that is 112cm wide x 190cm long and supports a combined weight of 150kg. Unlike a single piece bed board it will flex to mould with your body, making it far comfier and giving you a better night’s sleep. The slats also allow air flow and prevent the dampness and condensation that always builds up between a bed board and the mattress above. The mattress is made from 30mm dense foam and has a fully removable zip cover.

Keeping enough head height in the back for adults to sit in the camper van’s rear travel seats is very important to consider – it could affect both how the van can be used and ultimately its resale value. With our raised fibreglass design on the Jerba pop top roof, we give you enough room to fit in a very comfortable roof bed, but still have sufficient head room to sit in the rear seat.
If you’re looking to just have a pop top roof fitted to your own VW Transporter T6 or T5 then fitting our Jerba Pop Top Roof is a service we can offer – I’m afraid we don’t sell our roof as a stand alone product for a DIY fit, we only offer a full supply & fit service.
Our prices for fitting the Jerba elevating roof are based upon an empty van which has no existing fittings, furniture or conversion already in the rear, please note that extra costs may have to be added on if extra work is required for us to remove and refit any existing fittings. I’m afraid that if you have a T5, T6 or T6.1 Shuttle or Caravelle, then currently we don’t offer a service to fit our roof – very sorry.
Our workshop is now closed for Christmas from 23rd December to 6th January 2026.
We’ll respond to all enquiries when we return.
From all of us here at Jerba Campervans, we wish you a very Merry Christmas and a relaxing, adventure-filled New Year.
