Fiat Doblò camper boot size (Short, Long, XL, High Roof/Top)

If you’re thinking Fiat Doblo for camping, then think of the Maxi XL LWB or also the High Roof version. The High Roof is the tallest MPV out there – overtakes the leading VW Caddy by a whopping 25cm, giving you much more headroom or storage space (actually both!). But it only comes with barn doors (why is a tailgate better?). If you want a tailgate, go for Fiat Doblo Maxi LWB.

It’s about 8cm shorter than the Caddy, but still one of the longest cars out there with 217cm boot length. The rear seats can be folded (backrests) or lifted up & tilted forward, or easily removed – even more flexibility (see how in this video).

Combined with good consumption, the Fiat Doblo Maxi High Roof makes an amazing camping car.

This car’s boot is 217 cm long ⤢, 150 cm tall ↕, and 126 cm wide ↔.

2010 – 2020 Fiat Doblo versions + dimensions:

These are for the Cargo (Van version) but should be close enough. The passenger version doesn’t have a bulkhead, so should have more boot length when you push the front seats forward. The width will be shorter in the passenger version – I’ve indicated this in the table from what I could find.

The best Doblo version for camping? The Combi Maxi XL (LWB – high roof [top])

It’s the longest and most of all tallest of all the MPVs – giving you an additional 25cm of headroom!! Beats the Caddy Maxi or NV200 who were some of the longest and tallest – not anymore :). The rear seats can be folded (backrests) or lifted up & tilted forward, or easily removed – even more flexibility (see how in this video).

This comes with one important caveat – the High Roof version only comes with barn doors – which isn’t the best option for camping (they don’t serve as an additional roof when open, they get in the way of car tents. Read why I recommend a tailgate instead here.)

As you can see in the photos – aside from having lots more headroom, you can utilize the space for storage too. You can lift the bed higher and gain good storage underneath, whilst still having enough room to sit and move around.

If your main criteria for a small camper are its size (or low consumption), then Fiat Doblo XL High Roof should be your choice. It’s the tallest + very long (not the longest, Caddy Maxi beats it by 8cm – 225 vs 217 cm boot length).
