Bespoke Ceiling Options
Our bespoke ceiling designs combine craftsmanship, functionality, and style, tailored to your personal taste and lifestyle. From slatted wood or fabric ceilings to integrated LED lighting and drop-down TVs, we’ll help you create a ceiling that elevates your campervan experience.
Slatted Wood Ceilings & LED Lighting
Wooden slats bring warmth, texture, and a touch of luxury to any campervan. Slatted ceilings can be installed with subtle gaps for LED strip lighting, adding a cosy, ambient glow that enhances both style and functionality.
Benefits:
-
Timeless, natural aesthetic
-
Adds height perception and depth
-
Perfect for integrating LED or accent lighting
LED LIGHTING
LED lighting is an essential feature for modern campervans. By integrating LED strips into bespoke ceilings, you can create:
-
Ambient lighting: Soft, indirect light for relaxing evenings
-
Task lighting: Brighter, focused lighting for cooking or working
-
Mood control: Adjustable colours and dimmers to match your style or activity
LED systems are energy-efficient, long-lasting, and can be fully integrated into ceiling designs to keep the interior sleek and clutter-free.
Upholstered Ceilings & Dropdown TVs
For a softer, more tactile approach, fabric ceilings create a luxurious and cosy interior. From wool blends to felt or suede, fabric panels can be tailored to match your interior décor. They can also incorporate acoustic foam to reduce road noise.
Benefits:
-
Custom colours and textures
-
Noise reduction
-
Comfortable feel
-
Seamlessly hides wiring for lighting or entertainment systems
DROP DOWN TVs
A bespoke ceiling also allows for smart entertainment solutions, like drop-down TVs. These retractable screens can be hidden when not in use, keeping your van’s interior clean and minimalist. When lowered, they provide a cinema-like experience for cosy movie nights on the road.
Benefits:
-
Space-saving and practical
-
Sleek integration into ceiling design
-
Perfect for family or solo entertainment
Mixed Materials
For a truly unique look, some van owners choose to combine materials—wood slats with fabric inserts, or even patterned panels. This approach allows you to mix texture, warmth, and colour, giving your camper a one-of-a-kind interior.
Why Choose a Pop-Top Roof?
A pop-top transforms your VW campervan in ways that standard roofs simply cannot:
1. Maximise Interior Space
When raised, a pop-top adds valuable headroom, allowing you to stand up fully inside your van. This makes cooking, changing, and moving around far more comfortable—especially on longer trips.
2. Extra Sleeping Space
Many pop-tops come with a built-in sleeping platform, providing an additional bed without compromising the main living area. This is perfect for families, couples, or solo travellers who want flexibility without needing extra vehicles or tents.
3. Improved Ventilation and Light
Pop-top roofs feature windows or vents that can be opened, improving airflow and natural light in your campervan. This creates a brighter, fresher living environment, even during warmer weather.
4. Increased Versatility
With a pop-top, your VW camper remains compact on the road, yet expands into a spacious living area when parked. It’s ideal for urban travel, weekend getaways, or longer adventures.
5. Stylish and Durable
A high-quality pop-top not only enhances functionality but also adds to the aesthetic appeal of your van. At Route 300 Campers, we install Scenic Canvas pop tops, known for their:
-
Superior durability and weather resistance
-
Lightweight yet strong construction
-
Smooth operation for easy raising and lowering
-
Customisable colours to match your van’s style
Seating & Beds
Rock & Roll vs U-Shape — Which Layout Suits Your Campervan?
Choosing the right seating-bed layout is one of the biggest decisions you’ll make in your campervan build. Two of the most popular setups are the rock & roll bed and the U-shape seating/bed layout. Both have their benefits, but depending on how you travel, live and store gear, one may suit you far better than the other.
Rock & Roll Seating Beds
A rock & roll bed is a seat during the day that folds out or slides to become a bed at night.
Benefits
-
Quick and compact: easily converts from seating to sleeping with minimal effort.
-
Maintains a large uninterrupted floor space when the bed is stowed as seating.
-
Ideal when you prioritize sleeping space and want a large flat bed area.
Things to consider
-
Seating area may be narrower or less sociable compared to U-shape arrangements.
-
If you run a pop-top and use the bed upstairs, you’re using the lower bed area just for storage or occasional sleep.
-
Some rock & roll beds may reduce under-seat storage because of the mechanism.
U-Shape Seating Beds
A U-shape layout means seating wraps around three sides of the lounge area, typically around the rear and both side walls of the van. That seating then converts or extends into a bed when needed.
Benefits
-
Sociable daytime layout: more people can sit facing each other, making it great for groups/families.
-
Lots of under-seat storage because the benches run along the van walls.
-
Flexible use: you can sit, dine, relax, and then fold into bed mode.
Things to consider
-
When converted into a bed, you may sacrifice some floor space or your seating may become the bed permanently.
- The U-shape may complicate installation of other furnishings (kitchen units, fridge location) because the rear bench runs the full width.
Final Thoughts
Neither layout is inherently “better” — it’s all about what fits your adventure.
If you prioritise bed size and open floor space, go rock & roll.
If you prioritise social seating, storage and a lounge feel, lean U-shape.
We’re happy to show both layouts in our workshop in Irvine and help you pick the one that fits your van model, build budget and lifestyle.
Maximise Your Campervan Space With Smart Under Bed Storage
When it comes to campervan life, every inch matters. The space under your bed is one of the most valuable storage areas in your van — and at Route 300 Campers, we make sure it works hard for you.
Whether you’re heading off for weekend adventures or long-term road trips, our clever under-bed storage solutions help keep your van organised, tidy, and comfortable.
