Three entrances
The Themis hard shell roof tent has three entrances. You decide which one is right depending on your mood and location. In addition, three windows with fly screens ensure an unrestricted all-round view.
Comfort and protection
The 7cm thick mattress with a flannel cover and the 3D mesh base ensure special comfort. Another advantage of the innovative 3D mesh base is that moisture can evaporate underneath, protecting the mattress from mold. Even in bad weather, you are in good hands in the Themis hard-shell roof tent. The durable hard shell withstands any rain, while the covered windows with their waterproof zippers also ensure that you stay dry inside.
Suitable for all vehicle models
Our roof tents are suitable for all vehicle models. All you need is a roof rack (of course we would be happy if you buy one from horntools, but if you already have another roof rack, you are welcome to use that too). The roof tent is then attached to the roof rack. Everything you need is already included in the roof tent. No matter whether T5, T6, Jimny, Ford Ranger, pickup, VW bus, station wagon or Golf - the Themis fits every car. However, please pay attention to the roof load of your car. You can find these in the operating instructions or on the internet. The roof load must be sufficiently high to be able to support the roof tent.
With LED interior lighting
For added convenience inside the roof tent, we have fitted LED strips to illuminate the interior comfortably and easily at night. Please note that the LED strip requires a power bank with a minimum output voltage of 2.5V in order to function properly.
Practical details
Under the roof of the hard shell you will find a storage net that offers plenty of storage space for various utensils. You can attach an additional pocket for your cell phone, flashlight, etc. to the walls of the Themis hard-shell roof tent with Velcro fastener. Particularly useful is the pocket on the outside of the tent, which is perfect for storing your dirty shoes - so the inside of your tent always stays clean.
Tip: The hard shell is high enough that you can always leave a sleeping bag or blankets and pillows in the tent. Even when closed. This means your bedding is stored safely and dry and assembly is completed even faster.
Infinitely adjustable
You can extend the included telescopic ladder up to 2.60 m and attach it wherever you want your entrance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I choose a hard-shell roof tent?
The advantages are clear: A hard-shell roof tent is particularly weather- and windproof, robust, durable, and can be set up on the roof of your car in just a few seconds. It offers protection, comfort, and a compact design that's ideal for longer trips and/or frequent relocations while on vacation. The sophisticated aerodynamics, such as the horntools Themis, also help to save fuel.
Can a roof tent be placed on a hard roof?
Mounting a roof tent directly onto a hard roof isn't possible. Suitable roof racks or mounting rails with sufficient load-bearing capacity are required – whether cross bars or a platform. The decisive factors are the permissible roof load or weight, secure attachment, sufficient space on the vehicle roof, and compatibility with the roof tent's mount.
Does sleeping in a roof tent count as wild camping?
Yes, spending the night in a hard-shell roof tent is considered wild camping in many countries and is therefore only permitted where camping is permitted outside of official campsites. It's important to check local regulations in advance.
Is it possible to stay in the roof tent during a thunderstorm?
Important for hard-shell roof tents: Even though it offers protection from rain and wind, you and those accompanying you should seek a safe place during a thunderstorm and not stay on the roof of your car.
How often should I clean a roof tent?
To keep your hard-shell roof tent in good condition, regularity pays off: You should clean it after every long vacation or whenever the tent is visibly dirty. Pollen, bird droppings, and tree sap, in particular, should be removed promptly, as they can damage the material over time. The tent fabric or interior fabric is best cleaned with a very soft brush or a damp cloth. For heavier soiling, a special tent cleaner will help. Make sure everything is thoroughly dry before closing the tent again – this will prevent mold growth. Avoid aggressive cleaners, high-pressure cleaners, or hard brushes to avoid damaging the surfaces.
