Campervans with pop-up roofs: a solution for more interior space and an extra bed without sacrificing comfort

The market for campervans and motorhomes is seeing a rise in demand for models with pop-up roofs, which combine compact size on the road with extra space when parked. These vehicles have a lower height when folded, reducing fuel consumption and improving handling, while raising the roof provides an additional bed and increased interior headroom. Featured models include Volkswagen California T7 (from €58,000), Hymer Grand Canyon S CrossOver (approx. €140,400), Westfalia Sven Hedin (from €96,000), Bürstner Habiton HM 6.0 (around €91,000), and Knaus BoxTime 600 MQ (from €66,990). Each model caters to different needs, from daily use to off-road travel.
