01 / Bedroom and space
From the hatch to a good night's sleep.
Generous headroom above the mattress and a vast bed ready for rest.
Access from the van
Construction / VAN55
More room above your feet.
The rear scissor hinge lifts the roof at its rear edge too.
Plenty of room for your feet
In this example: less room above your feet
Space above your feet
Illustrative comparison of design principles. Proportions are simplified and do not describe every roof with a pivot hinge.
Scissor hinge.
The stainless-steel rear scissor hinge lifts the roof at its rear edge too, increasing the space above the mattress. It also gives the structure lateral stability.
- Stainless-steel scissor hinge
- More space at the rear
- Lateral stability
The bed
10 cm HR mattress. Resilient support all night.
The 125 × 210 cm, 10 cm-thick mattress is made from high-resilience HR foam, also known as cold foam (Kaltschaum). It responds to pressure, adapts to the shape of your body and springs back to its original form once unloaded.
The foam's open-cell structure lets air move through the mattress. Beneath it, a separate 2 cm Airmesh 3D mesh leaves room for air to circulate from below.
- Adapts to your body
- Springs back when unloaded
- Airflow through the foam
- Airmesh — ventilation under the mattress
- 125 × 210 cm
- 10 cm mattress
- HR foam / cold foam
- 2 cm Airmesh 3D mesh
Your bedding can stay where it is.
You can close the roof with bedding or sleeping bags left inside. That means less to carry and set up before your next night. Just arrange the bedding so the roof can close properly.
- Closes with bedding inside
- Less setting up
02 / Air and light
Fresh air. Even light.
An opening front and both sides with mosquito nets, a large glass skylight and light for the evening — plus, in the VAN55 Horizon, an air outlet fed from inside the van.
Air in the bedroom
Air / VAN55
Never stuffy, never cold.
The glass skylight and the opening front and sides with mosquito nets let the breeze through, while in the VAN55 Horizon an outlet fed from the van below airs or heats the space.
Extra airflow at the front and rear.
Front and rear vents support natural (passive) ventilation of the interior. Covers shield them from driving rain. They complement airing through the skylight and opening sides.
Example airflow with both vents open: from rear to front. The projecting roof edges shield the vents from rain.
- Fan without heating: the fan supplies air without switching on the heating.
- Heating: the same outlet delivers warm air from the vehicle's heating system.
Opening front and both sides with mosquito nets.
“Fan” and “Heating” modes — VAN55 Horizon only.
Illustrative diagram. The position of the air outlet is schematic. Airflow direction and heat distribution are examples; in reality they depend on conditions.
The front and both sides open. A mosquito net in every window.
With the front or sides open, fresh air flows straight in. Each of these three sides has a mosquito net, so you can air the space while keeping insects out. The open walls also give you a whole new view of your surroundings.
- Opening front and both sides
- Mosquito nets
VAN55 Horizon only
Heater outlet and active ventilation.
In the VAN55 Horizon vehicle, an outlet in the tent is fed from below by the van's heating system. It works in two modes — with heat and without.
In winter: warm air The vent delivers warm air from the heating system into the sleeping area.
In summer: active ventilation Run the fan on its own, without heating the heat exchanger. The running vent keeps air moving through the roof.
- VAN55 Horizon only
- Warm air from the van's heating
- Active ventilation without heat
Glass skylight. Clarity that lasts.
The roof features an opening skylight made of tempered glass. It lets daylight in and keeps you connected to your surroundings even when the fabric windows are closed.
Why glass?
Scratch resistance and lasting clarity The hard surface of glass resists scratching better than uncoated acrylic glazing. Being less prone to fine abrasion marks helps it stay clear.
A surface that stands up to cleaning Glass is more chemically resistant than uncoated acrylic. Choose cleaning products according to the recommendations for the whole window, including the frame and seals.
- Opening skylight
- Tempered glass
Lighting for the evening
A seamless line of light. Brightness your way.
COB LED strips run along both sides of the roof, each 3 m long — 6 m of light in total. As standard we use single-colour-temperature COB — warm white, 3000 K — for a seamless line of light with no visible LED dots. The brightness is dimmable: light up the space or dim it down before you sleep.
- 2 side COB strips, 3 m each
- 6 m of light in total
- Warm white 3000 K
- Dimmable
Lighting, chosen with care
Why did we choose COB?
We wanted a seamless line of light. The illustration shows visible LED dots next to a continuous COB line.
Why a single colour temperature as standard?
On dotted CCT strips with alternating warm and cool LEDs, lighting just one group can make the gaps visible. For the VAN55 standard we chose COB in a fixed warm white of 3000 K, with dimming.
COB CCT strips also exist. COB describes how the emitter is built; tunable white or colour is a separate feature of the strip and its controller. The illustration compares a single-colour dotted strip with COB; it does not show an alternating CCT layout.
Example LED strip with visible dots COB — a seamless line of light
03 / Everyday use
From opening the roof to hitting the road.
The roof comes in two versions: electric, with actuators, and manual, with gas struts.
Opening the roof
Push-button opening
Electric version
Electric actuators raise and lower the roof.
Dedicated buttons open and close the roof. Optional integration with the cockpit panel is available exclusively in the VAN55 Horizon.
The cockpit in the VAN55 Horizon- Electric version
- Electric actuators
- Dedicated buttons
- Panel: option for VAN55 Horizon only
Manual opening
Manual version
In the manual version you raise the roof by hand, assisted by gas struts.
To close it, climb the ladder, take hold of the handles and pull the roof down until it closes.
- Manual version
- Gas struts
- Closed by hand using the handles
Getting into the tent
The ladder is always at the hatch.
The telescopic ladder is permanently attached to the roof hatch. Once folded, it stays stowed inside the roof, including while you drive. No more hunting for it in the rear garage or carrying it to the entrance.
- Permanently at the hatch
- Telescopic
- Stows inside the roof
Control from the sleeping area
The roof cockpit. Controls at your fingertips.

- Optional cockpit module — VAN55 Horizon only
Power in the sleeping area
USB-C — charger in the cockpit, available exclusively in the VAN55 Horizon.
Power for your everyday devices.
In the VAN55 Horizon, the tent cockpit has a USB-C charger and the sleeping area has 230 V sockets. Both are available exclusively in this vehicle.
- USB-C in the VAN55 Horizon cockpit
- 230 V sockets — VAN55 Horizon only
Before you drive
The fabric folds away with the roof.
An automatic tuck-in system guides the fabric inside the structure as the roof closes. It reduces the need to tidy the fabric by hand and makes getting ready to drive simpler.
- Automatic fabric tuck-in
- Easier closing
Two locks for the road.
Once folded, the roof is secured by two locks. Their job is to keep it firmly closed while you travel.
- 2 locks
- Secure closing
VAN55 Horizon only
A reminder before you pull away.
In the VAN55 Horizon, integration with the vehicle's electronics warns the driver before setting off with the roof open.
- Integrated with vehicle electronics
- Open-roof warning
04 / Construction and materials
Shell, fabric and craftsmanship.
An aluminium structure, fabric developed with Marabut and details that keep the fabric taut and the roof weathertight.
Shell and roof
The roof weighs just 90 kg.
The aluminium shell brings the roof structure and the fabric mounting together into one coherent whole. It is finished in a black, matt, textured powder coat.
- Aluminium
- Weight 90 kg
- Black textured matt finish
Illustrative diagram: three layers and an aluminium honeycomb.
Roof layers and structure. Two facts about the construction — without showing the material layup.
Three layers and an aluminium honeycomb.
The roof panel has a three-layer construction. Its core is an 18 mm aluminium honeycomb panel.
- Three-layer roof
- 18 mm aluminium panel
- Honeycomb structure
Shaped to the lines of the Sprinter.
The streamlined shell follows the vehicle's roofline, so the roof and the van read as one. Its aerodynamic shape also reduces wind noise on the move.
- Streamlined design
- Follows the roofline
Fabric and weatherproofing
Sunbrella Plus. Fabric made for the weather.
We make the fabric from Sunbrella Plus — a solution-dyed acrylic designed for outdoor covers. A single-sided polyurethane coating and a water-repellent finish help keep water out, while the material stays resistant to UV and fading.
- Composition
- 100% solution-dyed acrylic
- Weight
- 320 g/m²
- Finish
- Single-sided PU coating
- Fabric water penetration resistance
- 1000 mm water column · ISO 811
- UV protection
- UPF 50+
Fabric specifications as stated by the manufacturer; tolerance ±5%. The fabric's water penetration resistance is not a measure of the whole roof's weathertightness.
Fabric designed and sewn with Marabut.
We developed the VAN55 roof fabric together with Marabut. The Polish manufacturer takes part in its design, sewing and production, bringing more than 30 years of tent-making experience. The brand has been active since 1989.
- Fabric design
- Sewing and production
- Over 30 years of experience
Illustrative diagram of the keder system: the rail and keder bead holding the fabric.

Keder system. Taut, stable fabric.
A keder bead slid into the mounting rail seats the edge of the fabric securely and helps keep the material evenly tensioned.
If needed, the fabric can be removed for servicing without touching the structure.
- Keder system: rail and bead
- Even tension
- Secure seating
Swelling thread helps seal the seams.
When exposed to moisture, the thread swells and increases in volume. This helps seal the stitch holes in the fabric.
- Reacts to moisture
- Self-sealing seams
Water has a way out.
The roof and fabric are designed to channel water outwards and minimise places where it can collect. The drainage layout was designed to avoid water pooling. It is part of what keeps the interior protected from rain. The way the fabric joins the structure protects against leaks where the fabric is attached.
- Water drainage
- Minimal water pooling
05 / Energy and extra equipment
Power included. Room for your gear.
A solar panel and AirLine rails included, plus optional mounts — from Starlink Mini to a side awning.
420 W, included.
A lightweight 420 W solar panel comes as part of the package. It makes use of the tent roof surface to generate energy for your van.
- 420 W output
- Lightweight panel

- Optional brackets
- Side awning
06 / Fitment and installation
Get your Sprinter ready.
Vehicle compatibility, the required rails and professional installation — all in one place.
For the Sprinter W906 and W907.
The pop-up roof is compatible with the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter W906 L2H2 and W907 L2H2. Versions for L3H2 and L2H1 bodies are planned for 2027.
- W906 L2H2
- W907 L2H2
- Planned for 2027: L3H2 and L2H1
Height above the roof.
We measure from the vehicle roof, because overall height depends on the Sprinter version, drivetrain and suspension. Closed, the tent adds approx. 250 mm. Open, the front edge of the pop-up roof sits approx. 1402 mm above the vehicle roof, while the hinge stays at the rear.
Side view: tent closed and open, dimensions from the vehicle roof

Illustrative diagram: mounting to the original rails.
Installation matched to the vehicle. Original rails; mounting to the rails needs no drilling into the roof.
Mounted to the original rails.
The tent must be mounted to genuine Mercedes-Benz roof rails. Mounting the tent to the rails itself requires no drilling into the roof. If your vehicle doesn't have genuine Mercedes-Benz roof rails, it needs to be retrofitted with them before the tent is installed. The hatch opening with its mounting frame is a separate part of the installation — the frame and its installation are included in the price, and the hatch is how you get into the tent from inside the van.
- Genuine Mercedes-Benz roof rails required
Fitted by trained partners
Typically 2 working days.
VAN55 tents are installed exclusively by certified, trained partners. The product is not intended for self-installation.
For a prepared vehicle with genuine Mercedes-Benz roof rails already fitted. Your partner will confirm the schedule once the scope of work is agreed.
The hatch mounting frame and its installation are included in the price. Bamboo hatch trim is available exclusively in the VAN55 Horizon. Retrofitting the van with any missing rails is an earlier step in preparing the vehicle.

Good to know
Before your
next trip.
Answers to questions about everyday use, equipment and installation.
Can I install the roof myself?
No. VAN55 pop-up roofs are installed exclusively by certified, trained installation partners.
Can the roof be installed if my van has no roof rails?
Yes, but first the van needs to be retrofitted with genuine Mercedes-Benz roof rails. The rails must be in place before the tent is installed.
How long does installation take?
Typically 2 working days for a prepared vehicle with genuine Mercedes-Benz roof rails already fitted. Your partner will confirm the schedule once the scope of work is agreed.
Can bedding stay inside the closed roof?
Yes, the design lets you leave bedding or sleeping bags inside when closing. Their volume and arrangement must allow the roof to close properly.
Can the lighting be changed?
Yes. A custom upgrade to CCT (warm–cool white), RGB, RGBW or RGBWW is possible, with a suitably matched controller and wiring. COB CCT strips also exist. The standard set-up has a single colour temperature.
What's included?
The package includes a 10 cm HR mattress with a separate 2 cm Airmesh 3D mesh, a telescopic ladder permanently attached in the hatch, the access hatch, a lightweight 420 W solar panel, integrated AirLine rails and two 3 m side COB LED strips in warm white (3000 K) with adjustable brightness.
Can the fabric be removed?
Yes. If needed, it can be taken off for servicing without touching the structure.
