Buying a rooftop tent is a big purchase, and we do not want you guessing on fitment. Before your order ships, Overland Odyssey can review your vehicle, rack/crossbar setup, and selected rooftop tent to help confirm whether the setup makes sense. To qualify for fitment protection, you must submit accurate setup information before shipment and receive written approval from Overland Odyssey.
Required fitment information: • Vehicle year, make, model, and trim • Roof rack or crossbar brand/model • Rack/crossbar dynamic weight rating • Crossbar spacing • Photos of your current roof/rack setup • Any accessories already mounted on the roof
Fitment protection applies only when: • Your setup was reviewed and approved in writing before shipment • The information you submitted was accurate and complete • The vehicle/rack setup has not changed after approval • The product is unused, uninstalled, unmodified, undamaged, and complete with all hardware/accessories • The fitment issue is caused by an error in our written recommendation
Fitment protection does not cover: • Incorrect, incomplete, or outdated customer-provided information • Unreported aftermarket parts or vehicle modifications • Improper installation • Weak, damaged, or incorrectly installed racks/crossbars • Missing hardware caused after delivery • Buyer’s remorse • Products that have been installed, used, modified, damaged, or taken on a trip
If we approve your setup in writing and the tent does not fit because of an error in our written recommendation, we will help make it right through a compatible replacement, approved return support, or another reasonable resolution based on the situation.
All returns must be approved before shipment back. Returned products must be received and inspected before refund eligibility is finalized.
Returns
We accept return requests within 30 days of delivery on eligible items.
To be eligible for return, the item must be: • Unused • Uninstalled • Unmodified • Undamaged • Complete with all original hardware, accessories, manuals, and packaging • Approved for return before being shipped back
Returns may be accepted for: • Manufacturing defects • Damaged-on-arrival items reported according to our freight inspection process • Incorrect items received • Fitment issues where Overland Odyssey approved the customer’s submitted setup in writing before shipment and the issue was caused by an error in our written recommendation

Shipping Info

Overland Odyssey Trail Verdict
Best For
• Solo campers or couples wanting one of the lighter budget soft-shell options
• Smaller SUVs and crossovers where keeping tent weight around ~110 lb matters
• Weekend trips and casual overlanding where simple setup and low cost beat premium features
Skip If
• You want a true four-season or blackout fabric build — this is designed more for 3-season use
• Thick luxury mattresses or hard-shell speed are your priority
• Long-term basecamp setups where heavier expedition tents make more sense
What We Like
• Very manageable ~110 lb weight compared to many soft-shell competitors
• Straightforward fold-out design that’s easy for first-time RTT owners to learn
• 600D polyester Oxford fabric with 3000 mm waterproof rating holds up well for weekend weather
• Aluminum honeycomb floor keeps weight down without feeling flimsy
Tradeoffs
• 1.5–1.75" mattress is thinner than mid-tier rooftop tents
• Soft-shell setup still takes longer than wedge or clamshell hard-shell tents
• Narrower interior width compared to queen-size RTTs

Built For Stargazing
The integrated skylight shows the Trailhead shoots way above it's price point.
Researched this tent for the best size, weight, price and of course quality. Unfortunately I have only used this once but can say I am very happy. I also have to say that the customer service was outstanding!

Excellent
I bought my rooftop tent to go on a 4-month across America camping expedition. I am a month in and I am loving my tent. It was so easy to install and it is even easier to set up and take down at each destination. The shoe bag is a bonus, all the windows and the sky roof makes looking at the stars Wonderful! The tent is more than I could have asked for. I highly recommend this tent to anybody going camping and needs a rooftop for their trailer, car or SUV.

It mounts using standard crossbars or aftermarket roof rack systems.
