Why You Should Choose a Roof Tent for Your Travels

The VW T6 is a true classic among campervans and is therefore extremely popular: it’s versatile, comfortable and simply ideal for travel. Many camping enthusiasts fit out the interior to include a place to sleep. It’s much more practical, however, to use the interior just for fixtures, equipment and/or storage systems and opt for a practical, high-quality roof tent instead. It moves your sleeping area up onto the roof of your T6 with ease and comfort, leaving much more room in the vehicle for luggage, a kitchen, camping accessories and other equipment. Our horntools roof tents, such as the Desertin four sizes, the Dachzelt Elements Gen IIin Ocean with a width of 165 cm, or the spacious Elements Gen II 220are made for the VW bus. They’re easy to install, can be set up in no time, offer generous sleeping areas and feature clever design – including weather-resistant materials, mosquito nets and a comfortable mattress. Check the individual product pages for available colors, sizes and features. This will turn your Bulli into a mobile holiday home on four wheels! Take a look around and choose the right roof tent from our range for your next camping holiday.

Even More Space: Our Family Rooftop Tent for the VW T6

Planning your next camping adventure with your children or friends? A rooftop tent for the VW T6 is just perfect. The 220 cm width is especially recommended here, offering space for up to 4 people and plenty of comfort. Ideal for two adults and two children, with lots of room to move around and practical extras. The model comes with two separate ladders, so everyone can get in and out independently. Thanks to the integrated partition with a hook-and-loop fastener, you can even create two sleeping areas for a little more privacy on the road. You can find this large version in models such as the Desert, Elements or Elements Gen II – all robustly built, durable, functional, high-quality and perfectly matched to the VW T6. This is how you turn your vehicle into the perfect camper. Our rooftop tents are compatible with all roof racks and are also suitable for every vehicle, provided the permissible roof load is taken into account, of course.

Frequently Asked Questions

What roof load is permitted on the VW T6?

If you’re looking for a rooftop tent for the VW T6, you should check the roof load specified by the vehicle manufacturer. For the VW T6, Volkswagen specifies a roof load of between 100 and 150 kg, depending on the variant. This means you can mount any standard rooftop tent on the T6 without any problems, regardless of size. For example, our 140 cm-wide fold-out tents weigh 53 kg, while the 220 cm-wide family rooftop tent weighs 93 kg. So you can mount this one on the VW T6, too. However, always keep an eye on the total weight when loading and driving—that is, the roof rack, rooftop tent and luggage.

Which roof racks fit the VW T6?

Suitable roof rack systems are essential for mounting a roof tent on a VW van. These can be either standard crossbars or a roof rack platform for the T6, which you’ll find in our range. Ideal for longer trips: one advantage of a platform is that it provides significantly more space for storing additional equipment on the roof of your vehicle. Please bear the weight in mind here, too.

VW T6 with a pop-top roof or a rooftop tent—which is better?

A roof tent for the VW T6 offers significantly more flexibility and space: instead of the 110–115 cm you get with a classic pop-top roof, a roof tent gives you much more sleeping space, with up to 220 cm possible—perfect for families or anyone who likes plenty of room. You can also remove your roof tent at any time and mount it on another vehicle.

How long does it take to set up a rooftop tent?

Our roof tents are designed to be relatively easy to install and set up or take down, depending on the model. The Desert folding tent, for example, can be set up on your car roof in around 10 minutes with just a few simple steps. Folding tents in particular can be set up quickly, without complicated mechanisms or tools. Ideal for spontaneous stops on the way to your holiday destination or changing overnight locations during your trip.
