What Stands Out
The Inspired Overland XL is built for campers who want more interior room without giving up the advantages of a lightweight rooftop tent. It adds meaningful sleeping space over the Standard while staying under 90 lbs, keeping it practical for properly equipped SUVs, trucks, vans, and larger crossover platforms.
Lightweight by Design
At 87 lbs, the XL remains well below Highland Trail Club’s 100 lb limit. Its aluminum structure, vinyl travel cover, and crossbar-supported floor system keep the weight controlled despite the larger 90-by-52-inch footprint.
Quick Deployment
The clamshell layout avoids the large fold-out platforms used by many traditional rooftop tents. Once the travel cover is removed and the tent is released, the sleeping area raises into place and the telescoping ladder provides access.
Built for Adventure
The XL uses a waterproof 2000D UV-resistant Oxford canopy, aluminum frame, and heavy-duty tonneau-grade vinyl cover. It is designed for regular camping trips, overland travel, and changing weather without adding the weight of a rigid shell.
Designed for Comfort
The 86-by-50-inch interior gives two campers more room to stretch out than the Standard. A 1.5-inch foam mattress, anti-condensation pad, interior organizers, and exterior storage pouches cover the essentials for comfortable overnight use.
The Inspired Overland XL is built for taller campers who need more room without stepping up to a heavy rooftop tent. Its 86-inch interior sleeping length gives customers around 6 feet tall significantly more space to stretch out than the Standard, while the 87 lb weight still stays under our 100 lb limit. That makes it a great fit for taller individuals, couples, and anyone who values extra sleeping room without unnecessary roof weight.

Support
Will the Inspired Overland XL fit my vehicle?
The XL can fit many larger crossovers, SUVs, trucks, and vans equipped with a properly rated roof rack or bed rack. Compatibility depends on the vehicle’s roof-load rating, rack capacity, usable roof space, crossbar position, and mounting clearance.
Is the XL suitable for smaller cars or compact crossovers?
Its 87 lb weight may fall within the capacity of some smaller vehicles, but the 90-by-52-inch footprint is more likely to be the limiting factor. Confirm that the tent does not extend beyond the rack or roof in a way prohibited by the vehicle or rack manufacturer.
Can it be installed on factory crossbars?
Yes, Factory-style crossbars must be approved for rooftop tent use, support the required dynamic load, and provide enough clearance for the included brackets. Inspired Overland publishes mounting guidance for traditional and factory-style crossbars.
Can it be mounted on a platform rack?
Yes, it can be mounted to many platform and aluminum-extrusion racks. Depending on the platform design, alternative hardware or a rack-specific installation method may be necessary.
How much rack capacity do I need?
While driving, the complete roof and rack system must support at least the tent’s 87 lb weight plus the rack, crossbars, and any additional accessories. While parked, it must support the tent, occupants, bedding, and gear.
Is mounting hardware included?
Yes. The XL includes 3.5-inch brackets and the standard mounting hardware required for installation.
How many people are needed to install it?
Two or more people are recommended. Although 87 lbs is lightweight for an XL rooftop tent, its 90-by-52-inch footprint makes it bulky and difficult to position safely by yourself.
How long does installation take?
Installation time depends on the vehicle and rack. A straightforward crossbar installation can generally be completed in one session after rack capacity, spacing, and bracket clearance are confirmed.
What tools are required?
Basic hand tools are typically required to position and tighten the mounting brackets. The exact tool sizes may vary depending on the supplied hardware and rack configuration.
Should the mounting hardware be checked again after installation?
Yes. Check the brackets and fasteners after the first drive, after the first few trips, and periodically during ownership. Inspect the installation again after rough-road travel.
How many people does the Standard sleep?
The XL is designed for two people and provides an interior sleeping area measuring approximately 86 inches long by 50 inches wide.
How is the XL different from the Standard?
The XL increases the exterior footprint from the Standard’s 82-by-50-inch size to 90 by 52 inches. Its interior measures 86 by 50 inches, compared with the Standard’s 78-by-48-inch sleeping area. The XL weighs 87 lbs versus 76 lbs for the Standard.
Does it include a mattress?
Yes. It includes a 1.5-inch foam mattress and an anti-condensation pad beneath the sleeping area.
Does the XL have a traditional solid floor?
No. Inspired Overland states that its rooftop tents use crossbars instead of a traditional floor panel. This construction is intended to reduce overall weight while maintaining support.
Can bedding remain inside when the tent is closed?
A limited amount of low-profile bedding may fit, but bulky pillows, thick sleeping bags, or oversized blankets can make the tent harder to close and place unnecessary pressure on the canopy and travel cover.
What warranty does the XL include?
The XL is covered by Inspired Overland’s limited manufacturer warranty against qualifying defects in materials and workmanship. Environmental damage, misuse, neglect, and improper installation are generally excluded.
Are replacement parts available?
Inspired Overland lists replacement brackets, gas struts, and other rooftop-tent components through its help center and spare-parts catalog. Availability may vary.
What should I do if the freight shipment arrives damaged?
Inspect the carton, pallet, straps, and tent before signing the delivery receipt. Photograph any visible damage, note it on the delivery paperwork, and refuse delivery if the tent appears severely damaged.
What should I do if I discover concealed damage?
Stop installation, retain all packaging materials, photograph the damage clearly, and contact Highland Trail Club immediately. Freight claims are time-sensitive and require documentation.
Who should I contact for fitment, installation, or warranty help?
Contact Highland Trail Club first. Include your order information, vehicle details, rack specifications, photographs, and a clear description of the issue so we can review the situation and coordinate the appropriate next step.
