The roof of a pop-up camper van can be raised and lowered either manually or electrically. When lowered, the vehicle's height differs little from that of a standard pick-up truck, enabling it to pass through urban height-restricted roads or enter underground car parks with ease, offering excellent road clearance. When raised, the roof creates an additional space typically used for sleeping or activities, providing campers with a more spacious living environment.

The interior layout of these campers varies, commonly featuring a kitchen area within the pickup bed equipped with stainless steel sinks and vehicle refrigerators for simple meal preparation. A seating area incorporates a lift-up table that converts into a bed to accommodate sleeping needs. Additionally, some models include a separate bathroom with an integrated toilet, washbasin, and shower head.
