OK, so “your” van will need to be a Sprinter, Transit, or (soon) a Ford E-Series or RAM ProMaster. But if it is, the new Super Pacific Cloud Cap rooftop tent lets you convert it into a proper pop-top camper.
The rooftop tent differs from others in that it’s longer (110″), and that extra space creates a pass-thru opening that lets you enter it from your van’s cabin. You’ll need to cut a hole in your van’s roof, but the hardware, template, and gasket seal are all included.

The tent’s hardshell outer is 1/2″ polypropylene honeycomb composite on the roof, and 1″ thick on the base too support your weight. Hardware is a mix of billet aluminum with UV stable anodizing, powder-coated aluminum, and stainless steel.

The tent shell is “marine-grade acrylic-impregnated polyester with three storm flaps zipping over three no-see-um mesh doors. Vents above the doors can be propped open for air flow even when the storm flaps are shut. Choose from gray, tan, or navy/oyster fabric colors.
It comes with an Exped MegaMat Duo mattress measuring 78″ x 52″ x 4″.
