LIGHTWEIGHT ROOFTOP TENTS
Direct-from-the-factory rooftop tents. Two-time SEMA award winner since 2021.
Inspired Overland was founded in 2021 in Hayward, California, with a different angle on the overland market: own the factories. They're the direct manufacturer of their rooftop tents and overland accessories, which lets them control quality and keep prices honest. Back-to-back SEMA Global Media Awards in 2022 and 2023 followed. Their pitch isn't subtle — they're trend-creators, not trend-followers — and the goal is to make outdoor adventures more accessible and more affordable than the rest of the market currently allows.

Answers, straight up.
Product-specific questions on the left. Shopping with SRO on the right. Both open-ended — hit us if we missed one.
Is this compatible with my vehicle crossbars?
Yes. The Carbonlite mounts to standard roof racks.
Can I use a diesel heater or AC unit?
Yes. Dual insulated ports allow safe climate control integration for cold or hot conditions.
Is the mattress included?
Yes – a hybrid foam + air mattress is standard.
How weather-resistant is it?
The 2000D UV Oxford fabric and carbon shell are fully waterproof and built for four-season protection.
How long does shipping take?
Most orders process within 1–3 business days from our warehouse. From there: 5–7 business days economy, 2–3 business days expedited, or overnight if you need it fast. Free economy shipping on orders over $150 (contiguous US). Alaska, Hawaii, and Pro Eagle / freight items are quoted at checkout. You’ll get a tracking number and link the moment your order ships.
What’s your return policy?
30 days from the day your order arrives. Gear has to come back unused, with all original tags, stickers, and packaging intact. For standard items we’ll send a prepaid return label and deduct return shipping from your refund. Oversized or freight returns are on you, unless the item showed up damaged, defective, or wrong — in which case we cover it.
Refunds hit your original payment method within 10 business days of approval.
What can’t I return?
Final-sale items, gift cards, food and drink products, personal-care items, anything customized or engraved, briefs (hygiene), and hazardous materials. If you’re not sure whether something qualifies, email us before you order — we’ll tell you straight.
Do you ship outside the contiguous US?
Yes. Alaska, Hawaii, and US territories ship on freight-quoted rates calculated after checkout. International orders are available worldwide at variable rates; duties and import fees are the customer’s responsibility. EU customers get a 14-day cancellation window per EU consumer law, on top of our standard return policy.
My package arrived damaged — what now?
Email info@stayreadyoutdoors.com within 7 days of delivery with your order number and clear photos of the damage (product + packaging). We’ll replace, refund, or ship a return label on us — no back-and-forth. Damaged, defective, or wrong-item claims never cost you shipping.
Can I talk to a human before buying?
Yes. Email info@stayreadyoutdoors.com — we answer every message ourselves, usually within a few hours during business days. We carry this gear, we use this gear, and we’d rather talk you out of a kit that doesn’t fit your mission than sell you the wrong one.
Do you offer a military/first-responder discount?
Yes. Active-duty and veteran military, police, fire, EMS, and medical first responders get 10% off every order. Verify through GovX at checkout — one-time, secure, and reusable across thousands of brands. Discount applies automatically once you’re verified.
