More space for on the go
The 165 cm version of the Elements Gen II is the right choice if you want a little more space in your rooftop tent – for example, as a couple with additional storage space or as a small group. Compared to the 140 cm model, this size offers noticeably more freedom of movement and comfort.
For the second generation, the Element concept was fundamentally further developed. The result: a robust, meticulously optimized folding roof tent that proves its worth particularly on multi-day and demanding journeys.

Universally compatible – can be mounted on almost any vehicle
The 165 cm version in Ocean color is compatible with all common roof racks – whether platform or crossbars. Only the vehicle's permissible roof load needs to be taken into account.
Weatherproof on the go
The robust 300 g/m² canvas (35% cotton / 65% polyester) offers a water column rating of 2000 mm, while the fly sheet boasts 3000 mm. This ensures you remain reliably protected even during extended periods of rain.
Easy access with the telescopic ladder
The black ladder can be flexibly adjusted and makes setting up and getting in easier – even with vehicles that are parked higher.
Starry sky included
The two sky-view roof windows offer a view into the night and can be completely darkened if required.
Practical LED lighting
The integrated LED strips provide pleasant light inside the tent; they can be dimmed and set to three color modes.
Interior organization – with nets, pockets & shoe bag
The tent offers:
- Mosquito nets on all openings
- 12 side pockets for small parts
- A shoe bag to keep dirt out
Sleeping comfort like at home
The 8cm cold foam/memory foam mattress, in combination with the 3D mesh anti-sweat underlay, ensures a balanced sleeping climate – ideal for two to three people who are away for several nights at a time.
Optional: matching awning for the Ocean version
Attached directly to the roof tent via a zipper, the awning creates additional space – for example as a changing room or weatherproof living area.

Frequently asked questions about the Elements Gen II folding tent
What are the advantages of a folding tent?
A folding roof tent is particularly attractive to buy because it's significantly cheaper – however, you should allow a little more time for setup and takedown. Thanks to its low weight, this type of tent is very well suited for vehicles with a lower permissible roof load. At the same time, you benefit from plenty of usable space: especially when traveling with children, a folding tent offers ample room for comfortable nights. Another advantage is the tent's generous overhang, which automatically creates a sheltered, shaded area. This often eliminates the need for an additional awning.
For which vehicle models is the Elements Gen II roof tent suitable?
The Elements roof tent fits any car with sufficient roof load capacity. This is usually even the smallest car. All you need is a suitable roof rack to which you can attach the roof tent. You can find roof racks at horntools, but the roof tent is also compatible with other roof rack brands.
How heavy is the Elements roof tent?
The Elements Gen II varies in weight depending on its width and the number of people using it:
- 140 cm – 2 persons: 73.3 kg including ladder (66.5 kg without ladder)
- 165 cm – 3 persons: 77.3 kg including ladder (70.5 kg without ladder)
- 220 cm – 4 persons: 97.8 kg including ladder (91 kg without ladder)
We deliberately specify the weights including the ladder, as this can be stored directly in the roof tent during travel and therefore does not require any additional storage space in the vehicle. If necessary, the ladder can of course also be transported inside the car.
Do I need any additional accessories for the roof tent?
The Elements roof tent comes complete with all the necessary basic equipment – including mounting tools. This means: simply mount the roof tent and enjoy your freedom immediately. An optional awning can be added, providing extra space and a sheltered area in windy or rainy weather.
Is the tent storm and waterproof?
Absolutely! You can use the Elements roof tent without worry, even in heavy rain. Thanks to its sturdy construction, the tent can withstand even strong winds.
How many people is the Elements roof tent suitable for?
This depends on the size. We offer the Elements roof tent in widths of 140, 165, and 220 cm. The sleeping area is always 230 cm long.
The 140cm roof tent comfortably sleeps two adults. The 165cm version offers ample space for two adults and a child. The 220cm version features two ladders and a partition, providing two separate rooms with entrances and enough space for up to four people.
Which mattress is in the Elements Gen II?
In the Elements Gen II, a particularly comfortable 8 cm cold foam/memory foam mattress ensures outstanding sleeping comfort – a detail that many customers cite as a decisive reason for choosing a horntools roof tent. The mattress remains permanently stored in the tent and offers a comfortable sleeping position for both shorter and taller individuals. For a consistently dry interior climate, a 3D mesh is integrated beneath the mattress, allowing continuous ventilation and reliably preventing the formation of moisture or mold.
Is the Elements Gen II available in other colors?
Yes, the Elements Gen II is available in Midnight Stone in addition to the Ocean version. If the blue is too striking for you, Midnight Stone offers a subtle and modern alternative.
