Unicamp’s Sienna Pop Top brings mid-sized minivan camping back to the masses

The clever aftermarket accessory turns any 4th-generation Toyota Sienna into a ready-to-roll basecamp.

Overlanding-centric vans are all the rage these days. But they’re often very pricey and not designed to be practical daily drivers. For campers looking for something a bit more versatile — something to pull double-duty even when you’re not camping — it’s hard to beat a traditional minivan. Unicamp agrees, which is how its Sienna Pop Top campervan add-on was born.

After more than a year in development, the Korean campervan modder finally released its much-awaited Sienna Pop Top stateside. It’s not a standalone vehicle but rather an add-on package available to Toyota Sienna owners. Once installed, it converts the otherwise ordinary mid-sized minivan into a go-anywhere, road-ready basecamp. It’s more conspicuous than most dedicated campervans while maintaining a mostly stealth silhouette to help you blend in for camping situations where you don’t want to stick out to the locals. With the press of a button, the electric Pop Top raises effortlessly to reveal an 84-by-37-inch sleep space with enough room for two adults (up to 485 pounds total!).

The cabin of the donor Sienna remains unchanged, save for the pass-thru hatch between the interior and rooftop tent. That means the final campervan “build” (if you can call it that) boasts all the features found in a factory Sienna, plus three-row seating. It also includes the standard hybrid powertrain and, when attached to a Sienna Woodland Edition, seven inches of ground clearance and a 1,500-watt inverter with a 120-volt AC outlet — perfect for car camping.

The Sienna Pop Top is available directly from Unicamp for a flat fee of $16,000. You’ll need to bring your own Toyota Sienna, of course. Any fourth-generation model year (post-2021) will do.

LGA takes things back to basics with the minimalist CrashPad trailer camper
The deceptively simple design is part cargo trailer, part trailer camper, and all functional.

While most towable RV brands are figuring out ways to pack everything and the kitchen sink into their latest models, Let's Go Aero has been quietly taking a different approach. The Colorado maker's latest model is a pared-down, off-road-ready trailer camper that's short on features but big on versatility.

The aptly named CrashPad is an upgrade to Let's Go Aero's LittleGiant and SpecOps cargo trailer models. It's basically a hard-sided, dome-shaped cover that mounts to the top of either model, but pops up in the way most rooftop tents would when you're ready to make camp. The cover is made of a durable, UV-resistant composite that sets up easily via the included strut-assist feature. By day, it's a secure, lockable cargo trailer; after dark, it makes for a well-protected basecamp shelter for ultra-minimalist overlanding and car camping.

Storyteller Overland Crew Mode adventure van camper with its rooftop tent popped.

The best camper vans these days are nothing short of amazing, proving that it really is possible to do more — a lot more — with less. Storyteller Overland is among our favorite van builders, but the brand just announced the availability of its first-ever five-passenger adventure van, and it's a beauty.
Get the full details on Storyteller Overland's Crew Mode adventure van camper

The all-new Crew Mode is Storyteller's first adventure van to be built on the AWD Mercedes-Benz 170" High Roof Dually Sprinter Chassis. That extra length is part of what allows the family-friendly model to both transport and sleep five comfortably. The addition of a powered hard-sided rooftop tent is the other part of the equation. Sure, it might be a little tight, but the layout feels and is surprisingly spacious with room for you and the family or your four closest friends.

Cold beers are good; cold beers 'round the campfire are even better. That's why Scout Campers recently teamed up with 10 Barrel Brewing on a brand new IPA and the chance to win $25,000 toward the custom truck camper of your dreams.

Camp Coldie is the newest member of 10 Barrel's HopBurst collection. It's a classic West Coast IPA with an infinitely more crushable ABV (just 5%!), making it perfect for post-rafting, post-fishing, post-hiking, post-whatever'ing beers around the campfire. The Oregon brewer describes it as "medium-bodied, subtly sweet and balanced with gentle bitterness ... and tropical notes of citrus, mango and grapefruit." To round out the partnership, 10 Barrel also opted to use hops from Scout's hometown of Yakima, Washington.
