VE7 Van Extender - Alternative to Pop Top Elevating Campervan Roofs

Extend the Length and Standing Height of your van better than any awning and cheaper than any elevating pop top roof.

The Van Extender DIY Guide is a complete, step-by-step system that shows you how to build a rigid-sided awning alternative for campervans with a lift-up tailgate. It is designed for popular vanlife builds including the Volkswagen Transporter, Ford Transit Custom, Vauxhall Vivaro, and similar vans used for camper conversions across the UK and Europe.

Expand Your Campervan Living Space

Turn the rear of your van into a practical extension. The Van Extender increases your usable space and creates a full standing-height area under the tailgate. This makes vanlife more comfortable for cooking, changing, or relaxing.

The added height also makes this a smart, low-cost alternative to a pop-top or elevating roof. Enjoy the benefits of extra headroom without the high installation cost.

The Perfect Awning Alternative for Vanlife

Traditional campervan awnings can be slow to set up and unreliable in bad weather. The Van Extender is a rigid awning alternative designed for real vanlife use.

Fast setup for road trips and wild camping
Strong, rigid sides for better security
Improved insulation for all-season vanlife
Stable in wind and rain compared to fabric awnings

This makes it ideal for off-grid travel, campervan holidays, and full-time vanlife.

Multi-Use Campervan Extension Space

With its own rear access door, the Van Extender creates a separate, flexible area at the back of your van. Use it as:
  • Campervan shower enclosure
  • Portable toilet or privacy space
  • Outdoor kitchen or cooking area
  • Gear storage for bikes, surfboards, or camping equipment
Perfect for van conversions focused on practicality and comfort.

Save Money on Your Campervan Build

Pop-top roofs and professional van conversion upgrades can be expensive. The Van Extender offers similar benefits at a fraction of the cost. It is ideal for DIY campervan builders who want to upgrade their setup without overspending.
