VW Transporter SCA Elevating Roof Overview
Below are the different types of sleeper roofs available for the VW Transporter. For the T5 & T6 we recommend the SCA 194 for a SWB and the 192 for the LWB.
SWB Recommendation
The 194 SWB roof has a higher lift at the rear for more headroom and extra struts for more stability. The 194 also has a wooden slatted bed for extra comfort. The locking mechanism on the 194 is done with Southco locks and straps which are an easy and reliable solution.
LWB Recommendation
The 192 LWB roof is the recommended choice other other LWB models, as the 192 has a latching mechanism opposed to the standard pull straps on the 198. This model also has a sliding board to cover the front cab area, providing a very neat and professional finish.
Below are all available models for the Volkswagen T5 & T6 along with technical information:

The high scissor lifts provide significantly more legroom and enable a sleeping position to be adopted with the head to the rear. The lift has been increased by 25 cm compared with the previous solution.
High-quality slats with an aluminium frame provide even more comfort when reclining and sleeping.
The curvature of the slats provides more headroom for rear-seat passengers when the bed is folded down and the roof closed.
The new Southco locks with integral safety bolts enable the roof to be locked easily and securely.
The roof shell is manufactured using the sophisticated vacuum expansion process. This guarantees accurate and consistent wall thicknesses and enables the external surface of the roof shell to be smooth and non-profiled – an ideal prerequisite for direct attachment of thin solar films just a few millimetres thick without significantly increasing the overall height of the vehicle.

This variant makes out-of-the-ordinary layouts possible, from rear kitchenettes to the provision of a wet area.
