  • Technical innovation in roof tents

    The continuous development of our models is based on scientific analyses and practical experience. Collaboration with material researchers results in innovative solutions for even the most extreme challenges. Over 1,200 documented customer feedbacks worldwide flow directly into the development process.

    Optimized areas of application through technical innovation:

    • Special reinforcements of the construction for maximum stability with minimal weight
    • Advanced sealing systems for absolute watertightness even in heavy rain
    • Innovative ventilation concepts for optimal climate management in all weather conditions
    • Improved locking mechanisms for comfortable one-handed operation during assembly and disassembly
    • Intelligent storage solutions for efficient use of space during travel

    The latest generation of roof tents combines these findings in well thought-out designs.

  • Hard shell technology in focus

    The aerodynamic shape of a hard shell tent , also called a hardtop roof tent, is the result of extensive practical tests. Compared to conventional roof tents, the optimized design reduces air resistance by up to 40%. The multi-layer sandwich construction of the hard shell guarantees optimal insulation with minimal weight. Special hydraulic cylinders enable one-handed operation when opening. The entire setup takes less than 60 seconds. Dismantling takes only slightly longer.

    The rigid construction of the hard shell makes it easy to attach a solar panel holder, for example. The roof tent can also be used as an additional loading platform. When closed, the waterproof hard shell offers additional storage space for light camping accessories such as bedding or sleeping bags. The durable outer shell also effectively protects against hail damage and prevents the tent skin from flapping in strong winds.

  • Innovative folding tent systems

    The fabric variants of our folding tents undergo intensive material tests for tear resistance and UV resistance. The textiles used withstand over 100,000 bending cycles in laboratory tests without any loss of quality. The low weight and low center of gravity optimize the driving dynamics of the vehicle. Expedition teams particularly appreciate the adaptability to different weather conditions.

    The fabric version is particularly suitable for smaller vehicles due to its lighter overall weight and smaller footprint. The narrow structure also reduces the area exposed to crosswinds. The textile construction is flexible enough to adapt to different operating conditions. In addition, the entry-level price is lower than that of hard-shell models.

  • vehicle-specific expertise

    Our technical team continuously analyzes the requirements of different vehicle types. The decisive factors are the dynamic support load while driving and the static load when stationary. The static load capacity is typically many times higher than the dynamic roof load. Our mounting systems guarantee optimal force distribution and minimize vibrations.

    Essential checkpoints for your vehicle:

    • Precise determination of the manufacturer's specifications on dynamic and static roof load in the vehicle manual
    • Optimal mounting position based on roof and vehicle shape
    • Careful inspection of the roof rack attachment and its load limits
    • Evaluation of possible restrictions due to increased vehicle height in parking garages
    • Assessment of the effects on driving dynamics and fuel consumption at different speeds
