Horizon Roof Tent
The Escapade Horizon Roof Top Tent is a robust aluminium hard top tent built for the toughest applications. The integral roof rack system on the upper shell is infinitely adjustable offering additional load carrying of up to 100 kg. The T-slot system allows the easy fitment of accessories both to the top and sides. Fitted with Stabilus gas struts the Horizon roof tents assisted opening and closing is achieved in seconds. The increased height of over 30cm at the front of the tent lends to the generous and spacious feeling inside, with greater headroom or space for feet. The elevated front also features an SBS zipped opening for improved cross flow ventilation whilst also providing perfect access for Escapade’s HotBox heater ducting. Further, there are 2 new and unique features that combine to make the Horizon more than just a comfortable place to sleep. With a hard backrest and 2 additional triangular openings with bug screens to the left and right rear section, the Horizon becomes a high-level viewing platform where you can sit and read, or watch a movie before dropping off to sleep. When travelling the lightweight backrest stows conveniently beneath the mattress.
To set it up, simply loosen the two buckles at the front and rear and then, thanks to the high-quality Stabilus gas struts, the roof tent opens almost by itself. Inside you will discover a well-ventilated space thanks to the generous windows on all four sides.
When closed, the Horizon presents a low profile on your vehicle roof thanks to the aerodynamic shape of the hard shell and its height of just 16.5 cm (including the roof rack). The outer shell is made of high-quality aluminium with triple sealing technology to keep moisture out when closed.
Its outer shell, overlapping fabric panels and taped seams keep you dry in bad weather, whilst the black out eco fabric keeps the light out to aid a long restful sleeping experience.
Aluminium Hard Shell With Assisted Opening
The Escapade Horizon represents the next generation of roof top tents. Years of experience combine to make the Horizon the ultimate in choice for comfort, practicality and 4 season performance. This flagship aluminium hard-shell roof tent offers much more than you've come to expect from a roof top tent.
ECO Credentials
The tent fabric of the Horizon is made from high-quality ECO recycled polyester. This is made from recycled plastic waste. We use around 185 plastic bottles to produce a tent, a far better alternative to land fill we think.
Lower Fuel Consumption
The low-profile design of the Horizon is not only eye-catching, from every angle. The aerodynamic design with a closed height of just 16.5 cm results in minimal air resistance. Additional fuel consumption is reduced to a minimum. Whether it's an off-road vehicle or a van we worked hard to reduce wind noise and fuel consumption.
More Comfort
The Horizon is equipped with a memory foam mattress with a removable cover with waterproof underside. Beneath the mattress there is also 3D mesh base to combat condensation. Maximum sleeping comfort, excellent ventilation, so you sleep as though you were at home in your own bed.
The interior has numerous pockets and storage options. The highlight is the vision panel in the middle of the roof storage space, which is the size of an iPad so that you can watch a film from a seated position when the weather outside is not good.
More Light
The interior dimmable LED lighting can be positioned in any of three positions offering both the possibility for direct lighting and also mood lighting. As always, this can be connected to any 12V power source using a USB port.
More Atmosphere
Due to the maximum height of 142 cm, which the tent reaches when opened in the entrance area, plus the 30 cm at the lowest point the interior feels like it offers more space than you would expect based on its dimensions. The multiple built-in ventilation openings to all four sides ensure a pleasant oxygen rich environment inside, enabling a continuous exchange of air in the Horizon helping to avoid condensation inside the roof tent - even in rainy weather.
All openings and windows are zippered and can be quickly opened and closed as needed.
Premium Quality
The Horizon tent fabric is high quality 320 g/m² Ripstop Recycled Polyester Oxford. This tent features an impressive 5000mm waterproof rating, internal seam sealing and a large rain fly cover to keep you dry even in prolonged rain. When closed the fabric and mattress are protected from water ingress by a triple seal system featuring a unique ‘lip’ seal that acts like a drip on a window sill.
