5 stars!

Absolutely loving our new expedition mini tent! The quality and attention to detail are outstanding—it’s clear that a lot of thought went into the design. Install is quick and easy and it feels solid and built to last. It’s spacious, comfortable, and has made our camping adventures so much better. On top of that, the customer service has been nothing short of amazing—responsive, helpful, and genuinely invested in making sure we had the best experience. Highly recommend both the tent and the company behind it!

Perfect couples tent

I was impressed with the ease of the website to order as well as informative you tube videos on their products. My husband and I are just back from a week exploring northern Ontario with our Expedition mini. Mostly great weather, but did have a few rainy nights and we stayed warm and dry.

Incredibly Good Service! Wow!

They went above and beyond to get our tent fixed when we ended up with a tear in the rain fly. They responded quickly (on a Sunday!!). Sent us a replacement and found someone local to come and install it as it was a bit beyond our ability. All at their expense. We really couldn't expect any better support than that.

Iv Owed the expedition XL for two years…

Iv Owed the expedition XL for two years now.
Shipping and dealing with go overland was fine. Let me know the delay in shipping and let me change my shipping address from Ontario to Alberta as I was hoping to have it for my family’s 2 week road trip. Delivery on a skid to my friends house and we had it installed easily with video and the paper work.

Only thing I’d say after two years now and it’s probably a given, hardware comes loose. I haven’t used the tent a lot. Iv used it 5 times this 2025. But the lock mechanism on one side is completely gone. I didn’t notice it even coming loose when using it. The light bar cover inside is always slid out of place, I leave my set up very well and water always pools up right at the ladder on the rain fly. Even tighten up the straps but it collets at that front support bar. When I bought it I was under the impression a pillow and sleeping bag would fit inside closed. I may have loaded it wrong but I don’t recommend. The ladder made two ugly indents it the plastic rain fly moonroof. Just don’t chance it and leave anything in it.

Iv never reached out to support after it was delivered. This by no means really on anyone, few minor inconveniences. I still show it off everywhere and people always point and ask. My insta has photos of it in use.

Hey Grant,

Thanks so much for taking the time to share your detailed experience after two years with your Expedition XL, we really appreciate it! We’re glad to hear shipping and setup went smoothly and that you’re still showing it off on your adventures.

A couple of quick notes that might help with the points you mentioned:
• Storing gear inside: A pillow and sleeping bag can fit inside when the tent is closed, but they need to be placed on top or beside the ladder, not directly on the mattress. This prevents pressure marks on the rainfly skylight.
• Water pooling: The included support bar is designed to help angle the rainfly so water runs off instead of collecting by the ladder. If you need help setting this up, we’d be happy to walk you through it. It’s the loose bar that came with the tent.
• Lock mechanism: Could you clarify which lock mechanism came loose? We keep spare parts in Canada and can send replacements if needed. We’d recommend doing so.

We always encourage reaching out to us directly by email if something comes up as we’re here to troubleshoot and make sure your setup is working perfectly. Thanks again for your support and for sharing your photos on Instagram, it’s awesome seeing our gear out in the wild!

Would buy again but I need another truck first

I've been using and abusing my tent (Journey Superlite) ever since I got it, it's been through rain, hail, nasty trails and has never let me down

The dimming lights are awesome, comfortable, and biggest for me is how quick and simple it is to set up camp. Always highly recommend & thanks team for the awesome tents!

Journey superlite

Tent arrived in a serious shipping container. No issues with that. Tent itself, cant complain, looked great. Mattress was really good. Everything functioned as it should. The only thing i would change is maybe add a couple more internal hooks for the insulaiion to tighten it up along front of the tent as it kinda sags a bit there when it really doesnt need too. Other than that pretty good all around. Everything else was pretty tight and clean. Will fit 2 thin people...lol. It will close with the insulation inside as well so you might be able to put a couple symmer sleeping bags in it. Good value for sure.

Great Customer support and Best value

Best bang for your buck if you are planning on getting an RTT. Bought the expedition mini and the quality is fantastic. They include winter insulation kit and an awning that zips to the entrance of the tent making it very useful specially when its raining.
Customer support is fantastic as well, very responsive to all the questions I asked them.

I’m ready to move in permanently

I must say that Go Overland Canada has truly created a wonderful experience from the moment you first discover their brand, to the moment you sleep in your own roof top tent. They are incredibly caring and thoughtful and I felt that I was always looked after. I have the Journey RTT and it’s fantastic. The build quality is great, the fit and finish is super clean and the accessories are very well thought out. The tent is set up in minutes and with ease. The sleep is so comfortable, it frankly was one of the best sleeps of my life. I’m ready to move in. All in all, I will be a Go Overland Canada fan boy until the very end. 10/10 WILL recommend.

Great product, poor guidance/support

I am happy with the tent, and will have the opportunity to fully test it in the coming weeks. For now, I will comment on delivery, support, and setup.

I picked up the tent at the warehouse in Surrey. The process was a bit confusing, and Pival booked me in on a holiday originally, and then were closed on this day. Eventually I was able to get this sorted, and picked up the tent. They told me to bring someone to help, as they would not assist me in loading the box into my truck. In the end, they did in fact load it directly into my truck, and so my friend didn't actually need to accompany me on this trip (they are only open 9-3pm on work days, making this frustrating).

Go Overland coordinated the purchase of my bed rack as well, which was shipped in 3 total boxes. My visibility was limited however to 1, which caused me a lot of stress and confusion when I began my installation, only to realize I was missing pieces. I was also frustrated to learn that the mounting gear and various parts were hidden under the mattress and required me to completely unfold the tent to find these hidden treasures. There was no guidance to this whatsoever, and again I lost time and experienced stress trying to figure out where these missing pieces were. I've found the instructions provided by Go Overland to be horrible. The pictures are not accurate, some parts (e.g. various washers) were sent, but not listed in the instructions. The roof rack for the tent itself is still not installed because I can't for the life of me figure out what the instructions are trying to convey. These should be completely redone IMO.

Finally, this took me a week to install on my own given the above road blocks. Go Overland was not very helpful in their support. From the very first message, I requested them to call me, as this would have been so much more efficient. To this day, they haven't called me, and haven't been overly helpful over email. This surprised me, as I've heard great things about the support here. Hopefully, things get better moving forward. It's been a stressful week.

Hi Kevin, Thank you for sharing your feedback. While we’re glad to hear you are happy with your tent, we’d like to address some points in your review to ensure others have the full picture.

Our team responded to all of your messages - including emails sent after hours and over the weekend - as quickly as possible (within minutes at times). We also replied to multiple Instagram direct messages, provided several photos to help better guide you as needed, and tried to assist every step of the way.

Regarding pickup in Surrey, our distribution partner Pival initially booked your pickup on a statutory holiday in error, and they rescheduled promptly. While their liability policy is that customers bring assistance for heavy items, in your case, they ultimately loaded the tent into your truck for you (this is their policy not ours).

The mounting gear for the tent is always packaged inside the tent for protection. Installation time for most customers is about 10 minutes with a helper; however, we understand that first-time setup can take longer depending on familiarity with rooftop tents.

We’re sorry you found the printed instructions difficult to follow - we will see which areas we can improve. In the meantime, we provide video resources on our youtube to help supplement the printed guide, and we offered to walk you through the process via email and Direct Messages.

We also understand you preferred phone calls over email (all of which were after hours); however, our support system is designed to keep all installation details in writing so nothing is missed. We did our best to provide timely and thorough written support throughout.

We value your business and are happy you’ll soon be putting the tent to full use. If you need further assistance with the roof rack or any other component, we’re here to help. Thanks

Journey X Lite, 2023 4runner

My Journey X lite was shipped and received within the week, arrived in a really nice crate. Inspected it as Go Overland requested and was extremely happy. No real video out there but install is super easy. We tested it out the next weekend and it was all we hoped for. Super comfy and blackout was nice. I was approached by many people about my RTT was basically a G.O. Rep. Highly recommend!
