That latch redesign is a lifesaver. I have a 2.0 that’s got about an inch at most of clearance between a Pioneer Rack and it’s a hassle getting it down, especially when it’s cold! 🥶
I completely understand that situation and have personally dealt with the same. It's very exciting to see the attention to detail on numerous aspects of the tent!
Love all of your videos, it feels a bit short most of the time. Perhaps it's just me so tune in to the adventure and I can't seem to get enough of it. I see that people complain in the comments area about you switching to iKamper from "Go fast Camper" and too much ad for iKamper. I get it, and I love your positive responses to those comments. I just want to take a moment to appreciate what you do and keep up that positive attitude (it's a lot of work to do the filming, and it is not sustainable if you don't love what you do.)
Sincerely appreciate the kind words and continued support, means a lot! Making the "switch" certainly created conversation though working full time in this industry at iKamper is a dream come true so I'm proud to share it! Much more on the way with upcoming adventure episodes, stay tuned 👍
Just saw you over on the iKamper channel introing their new RTT's. Looking pretty comfortable in front of the camera reviewing/introing equipment. Liked the jump high-five with your coworker at the end. 😁
Haha, we had to keep the high-five in for the final video edit 😆 Was a great opportunity being able to introducing the new tents under the official "iKamper hat" 😉
As will I. My Tacoma is also white so I was admiring this amazing white Tacoma going the opposite direction as me then I noticed the decals on the back. I’ve been thinking about sending you a few places to explore that I’ve always enjoyed but would rather keep it somewhat low key as they’re really great spots that aren’t super popular. What would be the best way to reach out to you?
I wish they allowed the sky window to fully open and they should’ve kept the plastic mesh for the windows so we can see when it rains, but overall a really big upgrade with the mattress and allowing to store bedding in the ikamper easier as well as a hole to feed electronics through the inside of the ikamper. Good job
The tent certainly has come a long way in terms of multiple functionally improvements. I will say that even with the window canopies deployed you can still enjoy the views during a rain storm while still having a privacy layer as opposed to before, though I completely understand your feedback when/if rain is coming down sideways... 😉 Thank you for the support!
The weather is actually perfect it highlights the tent features. I am running a 2015 jku. If I mount the entrance in the rear kind of like the epic family road trip style would that over extreme the sides of the jeep or hug perfectly? I have not really looked at the dimensions of my jeep or the tent yet. Still in the dream process. One more question. could that also to Thule rails?
Recently found this channel and this was the video I was looking for, keep making great content. It looks like there is a 1" bar under the tent that rests on the crossbars. Is the 13" the height of the tent when closed from the bottom of this bar to the top of the closed tent? Or is that bar not included in the 13"?
The 13" height is from the bottom of the tent not including the parallel mounting rails at the bottom. Add about another inch to include that piece into the overall height.
This is the best summary of the Mini 3.0 yet. Thank you. Can you store it on it's side (with care)? Will the small annex be coming soon as well - with the matching colour scheme? I think I saw that there might be an upgrade air bed available? Or is it simply one that is available for the 2.0? Thanks!
Appreciate the support, thank you! - I would be hesitant to store on it's side unless you have some kind of foam mattress or blankets to protect the shell. The goal would be not to stress the vulnerable side from the weight of the tent. Ideally you would want to store flat if at all possible. - There are plans of an annex in matching colors, however it will be a new annex (other than what's currently offered) that is slightly larger and with new feature including a floor and dividing wall. Stay tuned for details on that and release dates. - Our Sleeping Systems are live now actually! This includes blankets, sleeping bags, and air mattresses than can be used not only for our current line of tents but the soon to be released models as well! Check it out here: ikamper.com/products/sleep-systems/
@@ConquestOverland What a great response, thx. Understood re side storage. I look forward to seeing the new annex. I think I'll try the updated bed as is before pulling the trigger on the airbed.
That's awesome to hear! The upgraded tent certainly has some nice new features. An yes, the GFC has been sold for several months now that I'm working full time at iKamper 😉 👍
As much as I really want one of these, I've heard that so many people have gotten them and now customer service is a nightmare to try and get a hold of
Great vid brah! 😁🤙🏽 Are these new minis available yet? Do you know when theyll be available here in Europe (Germany)? Also, I peeped the SEMA 2021 vid where you showed off that single clamshell concept. Is there anywhere we can check that out in a little more detail? Thanks again braddah! 😁🤙🏽
Thank you very much! I can only speak for the US market with certainty but the 3.0 Minis are going on pre-order March 14th, definitely check it out then for more details on shipping. As for the wedge style I don't have any more specific details. Hoping to see those launch late this year or perhaps early next year. Regardless, we'll have plenty of announcements leading up to this launch when it happens.
This is a really cool tent. The zipper upgrades are paramount, those windows are sick. I've never camped in any rooftop tent. Do they keep heat In? What about noise?
Thank you for watching and great questions! The tents can relatively lock in heat well while also providing enough ventilation and air flow. However I use the inner insulation tent (a lining for the inside of the actual tent) which offers great warmth retention, helps lower exterior noise in windy conditions, and is fairly easy to setup. All personal preference but I've found that item to help quite a bit!
How much more would the skycamp 3.0 hang over the edge of the truck bed? I always thought the length was when you open the rtt, not the length from “tailgate to back of cab”, learn something new everyday. I have a Raptor but with the short bed, the skycamp mini makes sense, however, I like the size of the regular skycamp 3.0
The 3.0 Mini has a length of about 4'8" and the larger Skycamp 3.0 has a length of about 7'2". Unless you plan to run the larger tent on a full height bed rack or canopy to overhang above the cab, you'll certainly have additional tent overhang past the tailgate of the truck (something I would not advise).
Awesome video! I have a question, what rack do you use to mount the kamper on the truck bed? I'm looking for racks like yours or possibly one that sits alil lower. Please advise. Again, thanks for all your great content! Cheers from socal USA!
I run the RCI bed rack and love it! The low profile design definitely helps with wind drag and reclaiming some MPGs, check it here: rcimetalworks.com/https:/rcimetalworks.com/12-aluminum-adjustable-bed-rack/ Thank you for the support!
Looks like a great tent with great features. I don't see myself ever dropping that kind of cash when I can get 95% of this for half the price, but for those with coin to spare I think it's a great option.
@@clawdawg7248 Totally depends on budget and requirements. But if you just want a similar style to the iKamper in a cheaper price then look at Tuff Stuff Alpha 2, MIA Outdoors Overlander Large (aka "Mini" lol), or Desert Armor Warrior.
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?
Congrats on the switch! I simply hang the shoe bag off the front entry tension poles and let it sit right behind the ladder. This way it's closer and still easy to get to. 👍
You can add solar panels to the top, check it out here: www.rhinoadventuregear.com/products/rhino-adventure-gear-solarhawk-mini-roof-top-tent-solar-panel-for-ikamper-skycamp-mini
Are we able to open the sky window completely and be able to stand up? I absolutely love all the new features but thats something I would love for the skycap to have and just be able to fly my drone without living my tent will be amazing... thanks
@@ConquestOverland so when the rain fly is rolled back what sky window layers will I still have on top? 3-Clear, screen and grey fabric? Or just screen and grey fabric? Do the side windows have clear vinyl windows as a third layer?
@@gigilaroux762 with the rainfly rolled back you and simply unzip the privacy window and big screen on the top Sky View window and stand through. The clear vinyl on the rainfly will not interfere at all because it’s rolled back. As far as the side windows, the clear vinyl is no longer part of the Skycamp 3.0 models.
I live in Florida so the Summer's will be hot and there will be a lot of rain. I would prefer to leave this on my Tacoma year round. What are your thoughts on the durability of the iKamper rooftop tent (mini) staying on top of my truck year round? Specifically, how will this hold up in high winds and is there a greater chance of rust forming from multiple rain storms?
I left the tent on year-round with drastic weather and temperatures. From single digits in snow storms to triple digits in summer and everything in-between. You'll be fine, just ensure to dry out the tent after camping in the rain. 😉
For a Mini Cooper, I'd recommend only going with the Skycamp 3.0 Mini size and ensuring the cross bars are able to supper the weight of the tent. The full size Skycamp 3.0 (4 person) would be way too big on the roof and dramatically overhang resulting in a poor driving experience. See more info here: ikamper.com/faq/
Very soon! We'll have official announcements in the next few weeks though if you head over to ikamper.com/tent you can sign up for notifications and be the first to know when pre-orders are taking place. 😉 👍
Some companies make dog ramps that cover the ladder when it's fully extended. Might give it a search and see what works best. Fingers crossed iKamper makes something similar in the not too distant future 🤞
I have to ask, why not run the thick end to the front? If you look at the cross section of any aerodynamically optimized shape, the leading edge is thick, with thickness trailing away towards the rear, i.e. aircraft wing cross section. Every time I see one of these mounted the way this one is, which is every single one I've seen, it strikes me as the least aerodynamically efficient profile. Seems to be an oversight. Everything else looks very good to me. Top of my list currently.👍
I did that on my truck for that reason. Another reason is that the tent opens to drivers side and that’s piece of mind in case I need to get in my truck in middle of night
Great questions! The 3.0 Mini will easily fit 2 adults and a toddler, though as the little one begins to grow it may become a more snug fit for everyone. If you want to plan long term perhaps the Skycamp 3.0 (czcams.com/video/mnwaewKql64/video.html) may be a better option depending on your vehicle and mounting. As for the weight limit our platform on the tent can hold up to 1.8 tons and the ladder steps themselves over 300lbs. Depending on where you're located you can swing by our HQ here in Kent, WA or visit one of our many incredible dealers across the county, ikamper.com/locations/ See the link here to sign up for more info when pre-orders begin taking place: ikamper.com/tent
Awesome. I’m on the list. Do you know if the 270 awning can work well with the Skycamp mini 2.0 without offsetting the Skycamp mini off to one side or extending the awning too far out?
That's a good question, it's difficult to say as so many vehicle racks and platforms offering various mounting solutions. I do know the awning mounts with a hefty L style bracket that can be adjusted to various points but more info still to come as iKamper gets closer to launching.
We found that over the years they would discolor. Even when using the best vinyl available, it wouldn't prevent this so our R/D team decided to opt out of using them for this generation. However, the functionality of the new window design is vastly improved in my opinion.
@@ConquestOverland That makes sense, you know it wouldn’t be too hard to make an accessory with a piece of vinyl that simply Velcro’s onto the side so it’s removable and replaceable. Just an idea.
A super comfy 2.1" mattress, among other parts... 😉 As we get closer to launch, you'll be able to see/ experience the tents in person not only at our HQ but many of our dealer locations across the country: ikamper.com/locations/
Going to reply before i even watch. I think the Go Fast Camper is far superior to this tent. The ability to stand inside and enter your tent from the back of the truck is soooo much better. Also all you gear in the bed stays dry and clean.
Well... it's a completely different setup being a camper vs. a tent. However, I've mentioned in several videos in the past how I've kept my gear exposed using the bed rack and have had zero issues in all weather elements. Not to mention the significant MPG gained by having an RTT lower in the bed of the truck. Though for more info on GFC you can head directly to their website: gofastcampers.com 😉 👍
Haha, it's safely back in it's original packaging though who knows, might be for sale at a future iKamper open house! 😉 👍 Thank you very much for the support!
is two adults plus a small kid out of the question? they really need a mini+. the regular is way too big and this seems like its basically two humans max.
Depending on what's comfortable for you, two adults and a small kid could be doable. Though as the little one grows up it will get a bit more cramped. Maybe for long term use the larger size model would be best?
I appreciate your contents and all the work you put into your videos, I really do. but since you started doing ikamper promotion videos, I stopped watching. everybody have bills to pay and I get that. but shoving a 17 minutes ad to viewers face is not the way to go. English isn't my mother tongue and I hope you understand what I'm trying to say.
Completely understand and get it, though that is why videos such as this are separate from the weekend adventures that you typically see of which contain little to no "ad focus" content. All that to say I'm truly living my best life working at iKamper and as such I'm proud to showcase it, so hope you understand. Appreciate the support up till now 👍
Long as the tent it mounted forward enough you should have any issues, though I'd recommend the Skycamp Mini or X-Cover 2.0 Mini in this particular case. 👍
Can't wait to test out the 3.0!
Another great video man. I appreciate all the time you put into your videos. Happy you found a job your proud of! Keep it up!
Thank you! Sincerely appreciate the kind words, Ian! 👊

I'd recommend a Skycamp 3.0 full size for the family situation. You'll appreciate the additional room as the little one grows up. 👍
@@ConquestOverland copy that! Thank you
When’s the estimated release of the wedge style tent? And the 270 awning from ikamper release date?
I personally do not have an ETA for those but definitely stay tuned and sign up on our mailing list to receive those updates as they become available.
Awesome. I’m on the list. Do you know if the 270 awning can work well with the Skycamp mini 2.0 without offsetting the Skycamp mini off to one side or extending the awning too far out?
That's a good question, it's difficult to say as so many vehicle racks and platforms offering various mounting solutions. I do know the awning mounts with a hefty L style bracket that can be adjusted to various points but more info still to come as iKamper gets closer to launching.
one day
Why did you get rid of the GFC?
Working at iKamper
Why did they remove the clear side windows?
We found that over the years they would discolor. Even when using the best vinyl available, it wouldn't prevent this so our R/D team decided to opt out of using them for this generation. However, the functionality of the new window design is vastly improved in my opinion.
@@ConquestOverland That makes sense, you know it wouldn’t be too hard to make an accessory with a piece of vinyl that simply Velcro’s onto the side so it’s removable and replaceable. Just an idea.
How do you find those locations?
Mix of Gaia GPS, Google Earth, and a little luck 😆
@@ConquestOverland thanks
Just shy of 4 g’s and a 2.1” mattress?
A super comfy 2.1" mattress, among other parts... 😉
As we get closer to launch, you'll be able to see/ experience the tents in person not only at our HQ but many of our dealer locations across the country: ikamper.com/locations/
Going to reply before i even watch. I think the Go Fast Camper is far superior to this tent. The ability to stand inside and enter your tent from the back of the truck is soooo much better. Also all you gear in the bed stays dry and clean.
Well... it's a completely different setup being a camper vs. a tent. However, I've mentioned in several videos in the past how I've kept my gear exposed using the bed rack and have had zero issues in all weather elements. Not to mention the significant MPG gained by having an RTT lower in the bed of the truck. Though for more info on GFC you can head directly to their website: gofastcampers.com 😉 👍
What you doing with your old ikamper? I'll send you my address. Lol great video has always. Safe travels
Haha, it's safely back in it's original packaging though who knows, might be for sale at a future iKamper open house! 😉 👍
Thank you very much for the support!
@@ConquestOverland well. .. im in Wyoming.. 🤷♂️
@@black_widow_overland road trip! 😉
I’m local so I’m happy to buy your old one. 😎
If truly interested, send me an email at michael@ikamper.com and we'll go from there. 👍
RIP Go Fast
Been RIP for over 9 months, time to move on…
What tailgate trash bag do you have in this video?

For me, it doesn't worth an upgrade from the 2.0 model
is two adults plus a small kid out of the question? they really need a mini+. the regular is way too big and this seems like its basically two humans max.
Depending on what's comfortable for you, two adults and a small kid could be doable. Though as the little one grows up it will get a bit more cramped. Maybe for long term use the larger size model would be best?
Sell me your old one!
Shoot me an email at michael@ikamper.com and we’ll chat about it 😉👍
I appreciate your contents and all the work you put into your videos, I really do.
but since you started doing ikamper promotion videos, I stopped watching.
everybody have bills to pay and I get that. but shoving a 17 minutes ad to viewers face is not the way to go.
English isn't my mother tongue and I hope you understand what I'm trying to say.
Completely understand and get it, though that is why videos such as this are separate from the weekend adventures that you typically see of which contain little to no "ad focus" content. All that to say I'm truly living my best life working at iKamper and as such I'm proud to showcase it, so hope you understand.
Appreciate the support up till now 👍
How does it interfere on crossover vehicles with the tail gate opening would it hit the glass I have a Toyota c-hr
Long as the tent it mounted forward enough you should have any issues, though I'd recommend the Skycamp Mini or X-Cover 2.0 Mini in this particular case. 👍
