iKamper - Skycamp 2.0 Mini

So worth it! I did a full year of camping and put it up and took it down several times a week. It got so easy after the first month's practice. The mattress was super comfy, and there was so much room. I had a camp potty with me, so no worries there. Occasionally I used my ground tent, and that system, as small and compact as it was, was way more complicated and took way more time. Highly recommend! I had the iKamper Mini 2.0

I had an iKamper Skycamp 2.0 (hard top, king bed) for 5 years. Pros: \-Quick setup \-Don't have to haul extra tents, cots, and factor in their weight and how much space they take up in your car \-Off the ground and easy to keep the inside clean \-Good ones hold value better, only took about a week to find a buyer when I was ready. Used market is also pretty decent and I'd likely pick that over alibaba (seriously you can get a fabric damaged ikamper 2.0 CHEAP and then buy the 3.0 conversion kit and it's basically brand new) Cons: \-Have to park your vehicle kind of level \-Have to take it down in order to go ANYwhere for any reason (which takes longer as you do have to generally remove the pillows/bedding first) \-Reduces your fuel economy a wee bit \-Parking garages are, for the most part, out of the equation \-Climbing down to pee at night I don't regret it. It was a great way to have somewhere for my 3 teens to sleep when we went out for a weekend. I had it mounted on 3 different vehicles over the time we had it. I sold it because my oldest graduated and never camps anymore, my youngest rarely wants to go, and for the VERY few times I DO take extra people, a Gazelle T4 gets strapped to the roof. Mind you, I'm coming from the perspective of "the adults sleep in a teardrop"... if I didn't have the ability to have a teardrop at all, I'd have kept the rooftop tent.

I second iKamper. Also, get a diesel heater if you need to. Tons of options out there and make the tent 70+ degrees in zero temps.

Nice looking tent. I had the ikamper but found it too small length wise for me (6’2”). This looks like it would be better though, if you’re a similar height how do you find the length?

Appreciate it and good to know. I was able to angle in the ikamper when it’s just me but not ideal. I’d love to get a GFC but can’t stomach the 10 grand price tag!!

I’ve been down this path. Find one that has enough room to keep your bedding in it. And not one you have to climb on top of to close and smash down. I had the Ikamper and it worked great,, although I don’t really use it a more because on my jeep I prefer to keep my center of gravity low. I’ll use it for overlanding trails. But not for any rates trails over 6

thank god i have my iKamper setup already.

When you say four people we need to know the ages and size of them. I weigh 280 pounds, my wife is 220, we can share the tent with my 11 year old daughter, our 15 year old son can’t fit with us. If they were both under 10 years old and my wife were 50 pounds smaller the four of us could fit up there. We have an iKamper and it will be the best quality of any of the tents you mentioned. The comfort sleep system will also be the most comfortable, though it will fit in tents from other manufacturers.
