Rooftop tents reimagined . By people who feel at home outdoors.

Hello! May we introduce Immanuel Schneider and Jakob Heider , the two founders of Roof Space.

The two childhood friends have known each other since their school days and have traveled extensively together. Their shared passion for travel inspired them to develop a rooftop tent that would meet, exceed, and leave no room for compromise.

Manu brings his engineering knowledge to the table, as well as a passion for tinkering and perfecting. Jakob, on the other hand, contributes his business expertise and motivation to structure and organize a company.

And so it all began in 2020, in the classic way, in the garage at home in northern Germany. There was only the vision of the perfect roof tent, but not yet the solution. "Learning by doing" and "trial and error" were Manu and Jakob's constant companions. This went through several stages, each attempt bringing new features. For the fourth prototype, it was the gas pressure springs, and for the sixth, the idea of ​​giving the folding roof tent a hard aluminum shell. The foundation for the new fusion experience of space, stability, and simplified travel was laid. Prototype 8 then introduced another innovation: Panorama mode. This transformed the tent into a roof terrace and demonstrated that a roof tent doesn't have to be just about sleeping.

In 2022, the time had finally come. The team completed Roof Space ONE as a development platform. Now it was time to go public, and the crowdfunding campaign was the springboard that exceeded their own expectations. Not only from a financial perspective, but also from the perspective of the developers, who could now share their passion and vision of freedom and adventure in their own community. The press also took notice, and the name Roof Space began to spread around the world.

While the focus shifted to producing and delivering the tents, work simultaneously began on further optimizing the tent. The first 100 customers provided valuable, realistic feedback, which helped shape the ROOF SPACE 2 into the rooftop tent of the future. As a result, features such as quiet zippers, a connection for a parking heater, and aluminum pole covers were incorporated. Ultimately, it's the details that make all the difference when everything else is already perfect.

The ROOF SPACE 2 rooftop tent is a sophisticated tent on the market that reflects the love and passion that went into its creation.
