Universally mountable
Whether SUV, van, or station wagon – the roof tent can be installed on almost any vehicle. All you need is a sturdy roof rack. The roof racks should be at least 144 cm wide so that the roof tent rests flat against the roof. The complete mounting hardware is included. It's important that you comply with your vehicle's permissible roof load (at least 78 kg) . Detailed instructions can be found in the installation video and in the roof tent guide on our website.
Integrated LED lighting
An LED light strip inside provides pleasant brightness at night. It can be easily powered by a power bank (at least 2.5 V output voltage) – ideal for reading or relaxing after a long day.
Practical & well thought out
Under the hard shell, there's a storage net for clothes or blankets , a Velcro pocket for your phone and flashlight , and an outside pocket for shoes to keep everything clean. Bedding can be left inside the tent when it's folded up, making set-up the next day even faster.
Height-adjustable telescopic ladder
The telescopic ladder extends continuously up to 2.60 m and can be flexibly attached to any entrance. It can be stowed away in the tent to save space during travel.
Detailed instructions on assembling and setting up your roof tent can be found in the “Installation” section further down the page or in the roof tent guide , which provides numerous practical tips on the subject of roof tents.

Frequently asked questions about the Themis hard-shell roof tent
The advantages are clear: a hard-shell roof tent is particularly weatherproof and wind-resistant, robust, durable and can be set up on the car roof in just a few seconds. It offers protection, comfort and a compact design that is ideal for longer trips and/or frequent changes of location on holiday. Thanks to the sophisticated aerodynamics, such as those of the horntools Themis, you can also save on fuel.
A roof tent cannot be mounted directly on a hardtop – suitable roof racks or mounting rails with sufficient load capacity are required, whether crossbars or a platform doesn't matter. What's decisive is the permissible roof load or permissible weight, secure fastening, sufficient space on the vehicle roof and compatibility with the roof tent's mounting brackets.
Yes, spending the night in a hard-shell roof tent counts as wild camping in many countries and is therefore only permitted where camping outside official sites is allowed. It's important to check the local regulations in advance.
Important with hard-shell roof tents: Even though it offers protection from rain and wind, you and the people accompanying you should seek a safe place during a thunderstorm rather than staying on the car roof.
To keep your hard-shell roof tent in good condition, regular care pays off: you should clean it after every longer holiday or whenever the tent is visibly dirty. Pollen, bird droppings or tree resin in particular should be removed promptly, as they can damage the material in the long term. The tent fabric on the inside is best cleaned with a very soft brush or a damp cloth. For heavier soiling, a special tent cleaner helps. Make sure everything dries thoroughly before closing the tent again – this prevents mould from forming. Avoid aggressive cleaning agents, pressure washers or hard brushes so as not to damage the surfaces.
