PopRak – Revolutionary Van Conversion System
New pop-up van bedroom system revolutionizes vehicle conversions with innovative through-roof access and marine-grade materials, while preserving factory safety features.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Revolutionary through-roof access preserves vehicle structural integrity
- Marine-grade materials ensure weatherproof, durable construction
- Professional installation network ensures safety and reliability
Why it matters: A new rooftop sleeping system challenges traditional van conversion methods by offering a through-the-roof bedroom that preserves vehicle integrity while expanding living space. The PopRak system addresses key concerns about structural safety and comfort that have long plagued the growing van life movement.
The Big Picture: The PopRak system combines marine-grade materials with innovative engineering to create a pop-up bedroom accessible from inside the vehicle. Unlike traditional conversions that require extensive vehicle modifications, this system preserves factory safety features while adding significant functionality.
- Thermoplastic honeycomb construction ensures strength while minimizing weight
- Marine-grade fabric provides weatherproof, anti-fungal protection
Technical Innovation: The system’s proprietary Portal technology enables direct roof access without compromising vehicle structure. A computer-designed four-bar linkage system supports the roof even when loaded with accessories.
- Hidden cable management system accommodates solar, fans, and lighting
- Locking gas struts handle high winds and snow loads
Comfort Features: The bedroom includes a full-size XL mattress measuring 54″ x 80″ with multiple foam layers for comfort. The design allows 2″ of storage space above the mattress when closed, enabling users to leave bedding in place. It is great for camping out if you pack the best camping gadgets.
PopRak AdVANtage Black Edition Rooftop System
The PopRak AdVANtage Black Edition transforms van living with its innovative rooftop rack and sleeper system. The system (starting at $9,995) features marine-grade, 25oz triple-layer vulcanized fabric walls and panoramic windows with integrated privacy panels and bug screens. Its sophisticated 4-bar linkage creates maximum usable space by lifting the top up and outward, while automotive-grade safety latches and locking gas struts ensure secure operation in any weather condition. The system preserves vehicle integrity by mounting without structural modifications and includes T-slots for accessory mounting, built-in electrical routing, and compatibility with standard roof accessories like fans, awnings, and solar panels.
