Best Pop Top Camper Vans for the Summer

Best Pop Top Camper Vans for the Summer

Summer is the season of adventure, and there's no better way to explore the great outdoors than with a camper van! Whether you're planning a cross-country road trip or a weekend getaway, Class B RVs offer the perfect blend of comfort, versatility, and convenience.

Camper vans are ideal for couples who love to get out on the road, but what if you’re a group of four with a serious case of wanderlust? Most small motorhomes can’t accommodate more than two to three people, but now you can take your adventures up a notch by adding a pop top to a Class B RV!

Here at Thor Motor Coach, we offer a retractable rooftop with a Sky Bunk™ sleeping area as an optional feature on select vans. This helpful feature provides more room for resting without taking up valuable floor space inside the van. It’s the perfect solution for families or groups of friends who want to partake in van life. However, if you don’t need the additional sleeping space, the Sky Bunk™ may also be used as storage once you’ve made it to your campsite.

We understand the unique needs of modern explorers, so we've curated a list of our best pop top camper vans, which will make your summer vacations unforgettable.

Why Choose a Pop Top Camper Van?

Pop top camper vans offer a unique blend of flexibility and functionality, making them an ideal choice for summer travel. Here are a few reasons why you should consider one for your next adventure:

• Easy to Drive: Camper vans are smaller and more maneuverable than traditional RVs, making them easier to drive and park, even in urban areas.
• More Interior Space: The pop top feature can be utilized as an additional sleeping or storage area when the vehicle is parked, freeing up more of the camper van's interior living space.
• Comfort and Convenience: Despite their size, adventure vans have kitchens, bathrooms, and sleeping areas, providing home-like amenities on the go.
• Adventure-Ready: Travel vans are suitable for a variety of trips, from weekend getaways to extended road trips. Their size allows access to a wider range of campsites, including those that might be inaccessible to larger RVs.
