Previously, a pop-top elevating roof was specifically excluded from the external features considered when applying to have a vehicle’s body type changed to a motorhome. The updated guidance now includes pop-top roofs alongside high-top roofs.

✅ Pop-top roofs are now recognised in the DVLA’s external feature criteria.
✅ More opportunities for completed conversions to qualify for motorhome classification.
At Drivelodge, we’re proud to manufacture quality pop-top roofs that help make adventures possible all year round. We have been manufacturing Pop-Tops for over 35 years and we are proud to be one of the leading pop top suppliers in the UK!
