iKamper - X-Cover 2.0

While the setup and break down will be similar to what you’re currently doing, there’s no cover to worry about with its hard top. I also have their RTT comfort mattress in there and it fits all my sleeping stuff. 2 sleeping bags, 1 small throw, 2 regular pillows, 1 body pillow, and their ladder.

I am in CO and also winter camp (we stick to ~8-9K ft elevation during the winter due to trail access. I have an iKamper 2.0 with the insulation liner, Exped Megamats, and 15° sleeping bags. We bring extra blankets to push those bags to -10°.

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!!

thank god i have my iKamper setup already.

I spent about 40 nights in different iKamper rooftop tents this year (for work!) and have a few thoughts: 1. I'm not super picky about setup time, but rooftop tents are quite a bit quicker. 2. If you're in and out of the city a lot, a rooftop tent is a bit more conspicuous than a canopy if you find yourself crashing somewhere random for the night. 3. There are a gazillion brands when it comes to tents - quality varies as well. 4. Rooftop tents do a better job of noise cancelling and are quite a bit sturdier than a standard ground tent, and I find I wake up less often throughout the night from wind, rain etc. 5. If opting for a cheaper ground tent means you can spend an extra month on the road, eat better food and see more places, do it. Find the happy medium between comfort and cost, which I usually boil down to how comfortable your mattress is. You can have a crappy tent and an epic mattress and it'll treat ya just fine in the long run. Jealous of your time off! Live it up man. https://preview.redd.it/bwgcuetpgv5e1.jpeg?width=4160&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b15b7eb9c50d8751416d8c0b7acf0f4c20d947a0 \^\^ This is maybe my favorite combo for hauling fun stuff and hittin' the road.
