Introducing the Discover XL Series Roof Tent: Maximum Space, Minimum Effort

We’ve taken our best-selling hybrid design and gone bigger. We are excited to unveil the Discover XL Series, featuring a massive 190cm wide sleeping area. That’s a full 30cm wider than the standard Discover, purposefully engineered to give a family of four or three fully grown adults the room they need to stretch out and enjoy a great night’s sleep.

Despite the huge increase in internal volume, we’ve kept the weight down to just 58kg. This makes the Discover XL one of the most accessible large-scale family roof tents on the market, perfectly suited for most family hatchbacks, estates, and SUVs.

What’s new for the Discover XL?

We’ve kept the same great format of the 160cm Discover Series and simply increased the width for the growing family or the camper who just wants more space. Every Discover XL comes with our latest features:

  • Extra-wide family comfort – A 190cm x 236cm sleeping area (bigger than a Super King!).

  • Improved awning entrance – 4 x Durable, flexible poles for an effortless, secure setup.

  • Internal LED strip light – Includes a switch and remote with dimming modes and a timer. USB-powered (battery bank not included).

  • Midge-rated bug nets – Essential for Scotland and Wales, fitted to all openings.

  • Glow-in-the-dark zippers – Easy to find and operate in the middle of the night.

  • Clip-on storage caddy – A versatile pocket system that clips onto internal poles wherever you need it.

  • Ladder carry bag – Keeps the dirt out of your car and makes storage easy.

 


The perfect hybrid: Space, light, and protection

The Discover XL is a true hybrid, marrying the rugged protection of an aluminium hardshell with the massive living space of a soft-shell tent.

Unlike traditional soft-shell tents, there is no annoying PVC cover to remove. Simply release the heavy-duty PVC middle section and internal clips, and the tent opens in under 3 minutes. Your bedding is protected by the black aluminium top and bottom shells, ensuring your setup is trail-ready the moment you arrive.

Key features

  • Family-sized interior: Comfortably sleeps 4 (or 3 adults) with a footprint that defies its lightweight 58kg build.

  • Hybrid durability: The aluminium hardshell exterior protects your gear from the elements and trail debris.

  • All-weather performance: Built for the UK’s unpredictable climate with premium waterproof fabrics and superior ventilation to reduce condensation.

  • Integrated cargo capacity: Want to bring the bikes or boards? The outer shell features cargo bars rated to carry up to 35kg of additional gear.

  • Zip-in awning included: Every XL comes with an in-zip awning extension, creating a sheltered ground-level space for cooking, changing, or a dry spot for the dog.

 

Discover XL specifications

  • Sky-View Windows: Massive panoramic views with interior zip-up canvas.

  • Mattress: 5cm high-density foam with a washable cover and a 3D mesh anti-condensation layer included as standard.

  • Storage: 4 internal pockets, a large storage caddy, and 2 external shoe bags.

  • Ladder: Aluminium telescopic ladder (extends to 230cm) with its own carry bag.

  • Warranty: 2-year warranty for total peace of mind.

 

Discover XL accessories (Available separately)

  • Thermal lining: Turn your roof tent into a true 4-season basecamp with the Tent & Trail Thermal Liner. Designed for those who don’t let the winter stop them, this quilted inner layer provides a vital barrier against the cold, trapping heat and blocking out the chill.
  • Roof tent protective cover: Protect your investment from winter grit, coastal salt spray, and harsh UV rays with this waterproof, tailored cover designed to keep any Tent & Trail roof tent model looking brand new year-round.

Why choose the Discover XL? If you’ve outgrown your current setup or want a family basecamp that doesn’t require a heavy 4×4 to carry it, the Discover XL is in a league of its own. Experience the ultimate blend of Super King-sized comfort and lightweight performance.

I bought a tent from Tent & Trail and I’m loving it. Chris helped me install it which was helpful. I’ve used it twice already and I can tell that all the features have been carefully considered by Chris from a users experience. Can’t wait to take it abroad!

I recently bought a tent and trail adventure light roof tent and it is excellent! The whole buying experience with Chris was as easy as possible as I was able to go and see the tents in person as Chris opened his showroom on a Saturday morning just for me. The tent itself is very good. Its first outing was a 5 day trip through the highlands of Scotland and it held up to sun, wind, rain and midges with no issues. It also stays dark even when the sun is up so you don’t wake up super early! Thanks Chris!

Really pleased with our awning and the service from Tent & Trail – Thank you! We have it installed on our T5. It was hard to find an awning that works with our pop-top but T&T were able to advise on the fixings we needed to get and install for the awning to be fitted. The awning itself is great quality, easy to put out and pack up single handed. T&T fitted the awning and showed us how it all worked – really great service.

Roof Tent FAQs

You’ve got questions, we got the answers. If you can’t find the specific answer you’re looking for then contact us at support@tentandtrail.com and we will be happy to talk through any questions you may have.

Yes, in most cases, a roof tent can be mounted to your car, as long as your vehicle can be fitted with roof bars or a roof rack. However, there are a few important checks to ensure compatibility before setting off on your next roof tent camping adventure.

What to check before installing a roof tent:

  1. Your vehicle’s weight limit
    Refer to your vehicle’s handbook to confirm that your roof can support at least 50kg of dynamic weight (the weight your vehicle can handle while in motion). This is crucial for safely mounting a roof top tent.

  2. Roof bars compatibility
    Ensure that your roof bars or roof rack are suitable for carrying a car roof tent. Always check with the manufacturer of your roof bars or rack to confirm they meet the weight and design requirements for a roof tent UK setup.

For more detailed guidance, visit our can I fit a roof tent to my car page page for expert advice and tips on getting started with your car tent.

All our roof tents come complete with a comprehensive vehicle fitting kit, including bolts, brackets, and even the necessary tools for installation. To ensure long-lasting durability, all our fixings are crafted from premium 304-grade stainless steel, which provides excellent resistance to weather corrosion and rust while adding superior strength.

For more details, check out our helpful fitting my roof tent guide page page.

Yes. All of our roof tents are 100% waterproof and built to withstand the elements. They feature secure and durable outer covers made from weather-treated aluminium and heavy-duty canvas.

The fabrics we use are completely waterproof straight out of the box, with a hydrostatic head (HH) rating of 3000mm for the body of the tent and an impressive 4500mm for the rainfly. This ensures maximum protection against heavy rain, keeping you dry and comfortable.

In addition to being waterproof, the canvas is also UV and mould-resistant, ensuring your roof tent stays cooler, more durable, and ready for any weather conditions you may encounter on your roof tent camping adventures

While your Tent & Trail roof tent is built to endure a variety of weather conditions, including rain and moderate winds, using it during severe storms or strong winds can pose risks to both your safety and the tent’s integrity. To ensure the longevity of your roof tent and a safe camping experience, it’s important to follow the recommended operating guidelines for wind ratings and be mindful of weather conditions.

Wind limits – Tent & Trail roof tents are engineered to withstand winds of up to approximately 35mph (Near gale conditions). However, using your tent in winds stronger than this can be hazardous and may result in damage to the tent or its mounting system. Always check the forecast and avoid setting up in high-wind conditions.

Check wind direction – Before setting up your roof tent, assess the wind direction. Position your tent so the least exposed side faces the wind to reduce impact. This setup minimises resistance and adds stability.

Seek shelter – If a severe storm with strong winds or heavy rainfall is expected, it’s best to take down your roof tent and seek a more sheltered area. Even a sturdy roof tent cannot provide sufficient protection against extreme weather conditions.

Waterproof design – Tent & Trail roof tents are crafted with waterproof materials, taped seams, and a robust outer shell to keep you dry during rainy weather. While these features offer excellent protection against rain, they may not prevent water ingress if set up incorrectly or in extreme conditions.

Noise in windy conditions – In gusty winds, even within safe limits, some noise from flapping fabric or the movement of the tent’s structure is normal. To reduce noise, ensure guy ropes and all connections are securely fastened and tensioned.
