FelixFelix22 June 202630 min read

The clever staircase: how the Sunlight Vanlife 540 lives like a small flat

FelixFelix13 June 202620 min read

Pop Top Roofs on Large Campervans: Brilliant Extra Space or Expensive Headache?

IrisIris12 February 202515 min read

A pop top roof can turn a big panel van campervan into a genuine four berth, add a quiet space to read or work, and make summer mornings feel properly restorative. It can also be noisy in wind, cold in winter, fiddly when wet, and surprisingly expensive. This guide looks at the real pros and cons, what the roof costs in the UK right now, how to keep it dry and healthy, and who will actually love living with one.
