Turn A Honda Element Or Jeep Into A Pop-Up Camper

The Honda Element is the ultimate basic box and the Jeep Wrangler is a hard top vehicle with a die-hard following. Now they can accommodate streamlined and versatile popups that turn both vehicles into campers.

The conversions include a two-person bed and nearly 7 feet of headroom.

Ursa Minor Vehicles’s ECamper™ conversion adds a popup sleeper for two adults onto any Honda Element. This innovative design combines carbon-fiber material and the latest in composites technology to minimize weight.

Its streamlined profile adds only six inches to the overall height of the vehicle. However, when the popup is extended, you’ll gain nearly seven feet of extra headroom inside.

The ECamper™ is streamlined and stealthy when not popped open.

The ECamper™ conversion also includes a comfortable 7×4 foot mattress which is accessed from inside the vehicle, gas spring assisted hinges, LED lighting, and Sunbrella® canvas soft walls that are breathable, fade and water resistant. There are also options for racks, matching vehicle paint, and power outlets.

The ECamper™ bed can be accessed from inside the Element.
