Advertisement: Are you looking for a roof tent that convinces on long trips and rough tracks? The hybrid hardshell roof tent from Rhino-Rack offers you exactly that. The exceptionally rugged hardshell with a roughened surface is absolutely high-quality and scores with its smart design. The Rhino-Rack hybrid hardshell roof tent is ideal for couples or solo travellers who don’t want to do without comfort on the road.
The exceptionally sturdy hardshell of the tent impresses with its subtly roughened surface, a stylish design and a high-quality appearance. In the floor and all the way around, the Rhino-Rack hybrid hardshell roof tent has well-thought-out aluminium profiles that can be used in many ways. They offer you the flexibility to fix the tent securely and efficiently in different ways.
Fixing the roof tent with clever Rhino-Rack systems
Since it makes little sense to mount a roof tent directly on a platform, the supplied profiles offer a well-thought-out alternative. They save you buying additional mounting hardware and impress with their rugged construction. This ensures not only stability but also prevents disturbing flutter and unwanted noise while driving. The rails connect seamlessly with other Rhino-Rack products via quick-mount systems. That means you can take the roof tent off and refit it effortlessly with a click system, and in less than five minutes.
Alternatively, you can mount the Rhino-Rack hybrid roof tent directly on the Reconn carriers. The Reconn system is compatible with very many vehicles and substructures. From the Reconn system you can choose between extremely rugged carriers or complete platforms. The system is absolutely flexible. You’ll find more on Rhino-Rack’s Reconn system here.
Set-up within seconds
As soon as you’ve opened the closures, you can very easily pull out the ladder and push the tent up with it. The gas struts assist with that too. The tent is then practically ready to use. For extra comfort you can guy out the flared tent fabric over the windows with poles.
Cosiness and protection
Inside, a fabric-covered hardshell creates an inviting and cosy atmosphere. The softshell area is made of hard-wearing 600D heavy-duty ripstop canvas which, thanks to a PU coating, withstands even the most adverse weather conditions. All seams are fully sealed to reliably protect against ingressing moisture. An additional layer of 200D tent fabric stretches over the tent and offers extra rain protection. This double-layer construction promotes pleasantly regulated air conditioning, especially on hot summer days. The black tent fabric also provides pleasant darkening inside, without completely shutting it off from the outside world.
You can close the windows fully or open them slightly for good ventilation. Thanks to the guyed-out canopies, the inside stays dry even in the rain. In addition, the tent has another ventilation window on top. Here you can fold the tent fabric completely over and fix it with hook-and-loop, creating a generous opening that’s protected from insects by a fly screen. This opening lies under a second layer of tent fabric that reliably protects you from the elements. Thanks to the intelligently reinforced fabric areas at the eyes, warping or tearing is effectively prevented, a well-thought-out detail for maximum longevity.
First-class sleeping comfort and practical accessories
The generous sleeping area of 2100 x 1300 mm and the 70 mm thick HD foam mattress offer the two of you the highest sleeping comfort. The velvety-soft cover with a pleasant honeycomb structure ensures a comfortable lying feeling on long trips too. Optionally, a mesh anti-condensation mat, a foam topper or a perfectly fitting air mattress are available to increase comfort even further. Conveniently, you can simply leave sleeping bags and pillows in the tent while driving.
A dimmable LED strip with a USB connection provides atmospheric lighting in the tent. Thanks to the hook-and-loop fastening, it can be attached flexibly in various places, so you can adapt the light optimally to your needs. The power supply runs via a power bank, for example, which allows maximum flexibility. Two roomy pockets offer enough room for important items. Your shoes, by the way, you can put in the two supplied shoe bags on the outside of the tent.
Especially practical are the integrated feed-throughs in the tent that allow you to route a pipe for an auxiliary heater or power cables safely, for example. When not in use, the openings can be discreetly closed with a fold-up fabric closure.
High-quality hardshell usable as a roof rack
At a weight of 63 kg, the roof tent may not be among the lightest, but it impresses with its extensive equipment and high-quality choice of materials, an impressive overall package. In addition, the integrated rails on the hardshell offer a load capacity of up to 20 kg for additional gear. With the well-thought-out adapters from Rhino-Rack you can securely fix accessories like Maxtrax, a shovel or solar panels without any problem and extend your gear individually.
