Smart letting Michael be your spokesman. I would've just kept scrolling by but thought I recognized Michael so tuned in to see what he had to say. He's a great dude & has a large following @ConquestOverland glad he's repping iKamper. Loved the jump high-five at the end LOL. BTW when's Michael going to introduce the Disco? Caught a glimpse of it & it looks pretty cool....
So saving me another 4k can I trade in my 2.0 for the 3.0????? Hahaha but seriously can I unzip the rain fly/ canvas and upgrade to the new ones? The black and grey color scheme looks way better
For the premium price that you spend for this roof top tent can I ask why the 2 shoe bags are sold separately and there’s no built in led strip lights like the cheaper option the roof nest condour XL? Thanks
Really nice but getting rid of the plastic side windows seems like a poor decision. Users like this in driving horizontal rain rather that locking themselves up in an enclosed tent. It seems like such a step backwards removing these and really was part of your USP.
You guys should have the plastic window on all of the windows as well. In heavy rain or weather would be nice to look out and still keep weather out. Also should add a Diesel heater intake for tent on the cold cold nights 😊
I appreciate every improvement you have made, and even a simple cable hole can make the use of a roof tent more enjoyable. I want to ask you really nice - could you in version 4.0 add the option to mount flexible solar panels?
@@iKamper SolarHawk looks great, howewer I was hooping for something like space for hooks I can put under outer shell, more versatile and not taped "forever". Still thank you for info about SolarHawk!
Oh my god you have listend to feed back, Yeh Right, and produced a 2.5 inch mattress, god give me patience. I am waiting for a RRT maker to get real, think about it and put a real mattress in a tent. Give me a call when you reach 100mm or 4" plus, that will be the only time you reach a comfort level that suits the most people. It cant be that hard and it is not rocket science.
I really like the mods, and iKamper listening to feedback from customers. The only thing I didn’t understand was the elimination of the plastic windows. Thought those added warmth but also allowed you to keep the panoramic views in any weather, or time of day/night.
@@iKamper That makes absolute sense. Possible alternative. Make the vinyl an optional “insert” by extending the zipper to all four sides instead of a roll-up function. Disclaim to users about the wear and tear. But the insert approach would allow them to replace as needed. Not sure that is a scalable model with wide appeal, but just a thought. Continued success!
@@iKamper I’m considering this RTT for summer/early fall camping. I do a lot of fall and winter hot tent camping/ice fishing using an Eskimo 650i hub and they use velcro all of the way around their vinyl windows which allows me to 1. Remove the window to run a wood stove and use a custom made stove jack to velcro into the window spot when I’m not running propane and 2. Replace if and when needed. Although I haven’t see the 3.0 in person to see if it could be done and where, consider integrating a full velcro vinyl window to be used and replaceable if needed.
I've been living overland for 20 months in my 2.0 mounted on my Lexus GX470, and love it. But now I'm jealous. How I'd love to keep my sleeping bag inside.
Something I haven't seen mentioned anywhere. Can the ladder be removed while you are in the tent? Or removed at all? Is it critical to the stability of the fold-out section?
I was going to buy the 3.0 but I camp in the wet. The 3.0 should have the rain fly like the mini. I won’t be buying a tent that when I open the door it pours in standing water due to the lack of rain fly. Big design failing imo, that and the lack of fixed LED lighting.
Yall did such an amazing job on these campers. I saw one mounted on a Jeep Gladiator and it said iKamper, looked it up and found out this amazing camper system thats installable. You guys did a truly astounding job, everything is thought out.
haha sorry not sorry, the midget on the right uses the ladder and the giant on the left just reaches in. Just wandering how much space does the tall guy have in the smaller version from feet to head? Thanks
I’d love to see some size comparisons with an actual couple, family, etc. I’ve got a wife and two young kids. It’s really hard to tell how spacious these are without some size comparisons.
The amount I paid for the new skycamp, the mattresses are horrible. Turns out they have an inflatable mattress add on.. Again, the amount they charge for these, you would think they include something comfortable.
For Outback Wilderness, will 3.0 standard (4 people) fit? Also, when not in use, does it need to stored flat on surface or if can be put upright on one of the side?
What's the water penetration like on the parts that aren't covered by your rain fly? Just wondering how effective it is if the rain is coming down sideways and constantly hitting those sides.
I like how the outer window covers pull up. I don’t see any way to secure them down like the zippers on the older model, looks like they might make a lot of noise on a windy night.
You have a dimensions graphic behind you in this video. It shows how it sits on a BMW X5. Where can I access this graphic? I want to see how it will sit on the 2022 X5. You should have a 3D tool on your site where you can select a model car and see how it fits.
You guys need to make something in-between the 3.0 and the 3.0 Mini. The 3.0 will overhang the bed of even a long bed truck and that's not a good look. For people who do the mid-height bed rack to keep the tent down below or at the roofline for fuel economy would really be better served by a 3 person design that would allow camping 2 people with more room for gear or just not being shoehorned together.
You can either install it yourself at your residence or find an authorized iKamper dealer that can help you. You can find the dealer closest to you here: ikamper.com/pages/dealer-locator
Does anyone know if the 3.0 mounting brackets are compatible with the ikamper 2.0 under railings? The crossbars on my utility trailer are round and too thick for the 2.0 brackets to house. If I can purchase the 3.0 and replace with my 2.0 brackets, I'm home free.
Hi, Have my Skycamp mini for 2years now, and think the following improvements are required : • Front opening should open from bottom up and not top down. • Tent clam top must get handle on outside to pull down to close easier. • The keys in the lock makes opening latches difficult to operate • The mattress needs 10mm insulation as aluminium base is extremely cold.
Do you have a detailed video how best to close the iKamper Mini 3.0. Main question - I have just deinstalled my iKamper Skycamp 3.0 for the first time and when I folded over the extended piece. Stowing the ladder etc, it did not lay flat - it looked like it was resting on the canvas tent area, partially folded. Held up by the canvas. Is this normal? In other words when you pull down the clamshell cover this would all release and the folded over section would then be fully flat. I’m just concerned that I am forcing something and potentially could break/ stretch something. Any advice that you can offer? Do you have a super detailed video I’m your video library that you can share with me?
Hey. I have used IKAMPER SKY 2.0 3 years with my family and we had a problem in every moning. The mattress and bottom was really wet every morning from condensation because there was no air circulation . It wastes 2 to 3 hours of time to dry the mattress. Last season ofcourse we found a solution. We put a thick sheep blanket under the mattress, which raises the mattress above the floor and creates air gaps between the floor and the mattress. In cold weather mattress is warmer too under the sides and bottom
I am switching from a tepui to the new skycamper mini 3.0. The shoe storage pouch for the tepui ia conveniently located near the ladder. You can hang your legs outside the tent (while sitting inside) and put your shoes on. It looks the the ikamper requires you to hang the shoe carrier further in closer to the vehicle. How is this working out? can it be relocated closer to the ladder?
What a great video and product! Going forward on the 4.0 and upgraded 4" mattress, with mount flexible solar panels and 2 fans to install at the windows would be great!
You guys need to make an aluminum shell version of the skycamp and mini 3.0. I am waiting to see if another company will make one as big as the skycamp 3.0. 23Zero came out with the armadillo A which is like yours just not as wide. I think you guys still have the widest side open hardshell tent.
Great presentation on IKamper 3.0 Mini. I'm looking at Roofnest but I think i'm leaning towards Ikamper. I thought Ikamper was 1K more expensive but now it seems cheaper. Well Done!
Our 3.0 arrived today, putting it on the rack tomorrow. Regarding front overhang......is it best to get it as far back from the front as possible? Also, I see pictures of the wind deflector sitting under the tent when installed......would it not be better if the top half sits slightly above the bottom of the tent?
@@iKamper it's going atop a ssangyong rexton......actually have enough space to get it about a foot and a half behind the windscreen. Enough room for the wind deflector easily. Got the annex plus and inner tent still in transit......we will be eating pictures of food from recipe books for the foreseeable future though 😆
Our 3.0 is not laying flat when pushing the ladder section back.....seems to be something in the way. Still closed when pulling the hard top down. What might we be doing wrong?
I know of a small hole in one corner for electricity...but what about a hole to allow a pipe to pump hot air generation by a heating unit, somewhere below the tent?
We've seen some folks utilize the side windows for heating solutions! You can check out some of the DIY options from members of our community here: facebook.com/groups/ikamper/
