Toppola is a brand of camper shell originally made for the Saab 99 combi coupé. By removing the hatch and putting on the Toppola a car could be converted to a campervan in about 15 to 30 minutes. The top can easily be lifted off and the hatch door reattached, so the car can be used without the Toppola. The unit is small, but features full standing height (2.0 m) and a 170 by 200 cm bed. It could be fitted with a complete kitchen and even a heater for use during winter. The total weight addition is about 115 kg (254 lb).

The Toppola was first made for the Saab 99, but later also Saab 900, Saab 900 (NG), Saab 9500, Saab 9-3, Ford Sierra and Scorpio.

Production has stopped in 2006; SCANDO was looking for someone to take over production of the Toppola.
