Created by campers, for campers

From build quality, to ease of operation, to those finishing touches which make all the difference to your Volkswagen T5 & T6 SWB campervan, every design choice we make is informed by a long family history of converting, customising and enjoying our own motorhomes.

Low profile roof for reduced noise

With the Volkswagen T5 & T6 SWB elevating roof closed, its streamlined profile and integrated front spoiler minimise wind resistance and noise, ensuring a quieter and more fuel-efficient journey.

Single-piece box section frame

The single-piece box section frame of our elevating roofs provides exceptional strength and rigidity, further enhanced by multiple mounting points for a secure and stable fit. Each roof is custom-shaped for your specific model, which eliminates the risk of leaks, while stainless steel hinges provide long-lasting, corrosion-resistant performance.

‍

Integrated interior lighting

Recessed LED lighting provides ample illumination within the elevated roof space, while concealed wiring, neatly integrated within bespoke fabric panels, maintains a clean and uncluttered interior finish.

Peace of mind with our 5-year warranty

Quality is a priority at Drivelodge, with QA checks built in to every stage of the build and testing process. As a result, we’re pleased to offer a 5-year warranty on every Volkswagen T5 & T6 SWB elevating roof we supply.

Any Questions?

If you can’t find the information you’re looking for here, give us a call/send us an email and we’ll be happy to answer any questions you have.

Do you offer custom-built roofs?

We don’t offer a custom commissioning service for one-off roof designs, as our meticulous design, development and quality assurance process would make this prohibitively expensive. However, we offer several customisation options (depending on the individual roof) including colour-coding, windows and openings, interior carpeting and integrated bed boards.

Can I purchase a roof online?

As all our roofs are professionally installed, and usually customised to some extent, we don’t offer a “buy online” option. To place an order, use our online configurator or fill out the enquiry form on the relevant product page, and we’ll be in touch to advise you on the price and recommend the closest approved installer. Billing will then be handled directly through your installer.

Do you sell roofs as kits for self-assembly?

We don’t sell roof kits directly to our customers, as we’re committed to guaranteeing the quality of the installation by carrying it out in-house or via our approved installers — allowing us to offer a comprehensive 5-year warranty. The one exception is for our Land Rover Defender elevating roofs, as the unique nature of the vehicle makes this a much easier home installation.

I can’t find my vehicle listed – are there other roofs available?

Yes, there are a number of cases where a roof designed for one model will fit another model perfectly — sometimes even a different make and model. This is due to manufacturers sharing platforms, meaning the same Drivelodge roof will fit any model with the same roof shape. Get in touch to learn if we have an existing roof compatible with your vehicle, or one in the design process.

When can I drop off / collect my vehicle?

If you’d like to have your new roof conversion carried out at our North Yorkshire facility, then you’ll need to arrange this in advance with us, at which point we’ll discuss the best time for delivery and collection. If you’re using one of our dedicated network of approved installers, then you should deal with them directly to schedule the best time to drop off and collect your vehicle.
