At 90 lbs, the Roofnest Meadowlark brings two-person rooftop camping to smaller vehicles and lightweight overland builds without requiring a large, permanently mounted tent. Its compact fold-out design measures only 47 by 44 inches when closed, leaving more usable rack space than many full-width rooftop tents. Once opened, it creates an 80-by-43-inch sleeping area with 36 inches of headroom—enough room for two adults while keeping the packed footprint manageable for everyday driving and off-season storage. Unlike traditional soft-shell tents that rely on multiple exterior poles and guy lines, the Meadowlark uses a simplified three-step setup. Release the travel cover, use the ladder to unfold the tent, and extend the integrated interior support bar. With a slatted aluminum frame, 2.5-inch dual-density mattress, waterproof rainfly, detachable storage pockets, and USB-powered interior lighting, the Meadowlark delivers the essentials needed for comfortable camping while staying within Highland Trail Club’s lightweight rooftop-tent standard.
