Refreshed for 2026, the Lite XL now features improved comfort, better ventilation and some smart new design touches.

The largest roof tent in the range, it comfortably sleeps four adults – great for families, pets, or anyone who likes extra space.

It opens manually in around 5 minutes using a simple fold-out system, and despite the size, it folds down into a compact footprint on your roof.

Inside, the comfy, quilted, super-king mattress stays in place when packed down, so your sleeping setup is always ready to go. 

Double skylights and large windows keep the space bright and airy, and there’s plenty of storage for your gear. Handy internal pockets, external storage netting and a roll-away pole bag keeps everything organised and tidy once you’re set up. 

If you want maximum sleeping space – this is the one.

Fitting and safety notes

• Clamp-on roof bars are not suitable for roof top tents; there are concerns for damage but more importantly for safety. You should only carry roof top tents if your vehicle has flush-mounted roof rails, raised roof rails which include a central support, fixpoints in the roof, tracks in the roof, or gutters - and then only if your vehicle roof can carry the combined weight of roof bars and tent, and your roof bars are strong enough. See Thule's guidelines on the Fitting instructions and videos tab.
• Furthermore, roof tents should not be carried on flush bars, sometimes called closed-end bars, for example Thule Edge foot packs. The reason is that the weight of the tent and occupants would be on the feet only, the high points, so would not be evenly spread; the load may damage the roof as well as the roof bars. See Thule's guidelines on the Fitting instructions and videos tab.
• Roof top tents may not be used with Thule SlideBars. There are several other limitations for their use - please be sure to read and understand the Thule guidelines notice, available on the Fitting instructions and videos tab; please contact us before purchase if there is anything you are unsure about.
