The new iKamper Skycamp Mini two-person rooftop tent could be a fit for just about any four-wheeled adventuremobile. A hybrid between hard- and soft-shell tents, it offers up the key features of each style: lightweight, compact, and easy to deploy and put away.
Most hardshell RTTs take up a ton of space atop your vehicle and aren’t lightweight. Softshell, fold-open RTTs can be a pain to set up and aren’t very aerodynamic.
Enter the iKamper Skycamp Mini. With it, the South Korean company targets the best of both worlds.
iKamper Skycamp Mini
At only 125 pounds, the Skycamp Mini finds itself on the lighter side of the RTT spectrum. And, compared to other RTTs, it requires very little room atop your vehicle. It measures 57.1 inches long and 54.3 inches wide. Closed, the aerodynamically shaped hardshell case spans a mere 12.5 inches thick.
Despite its diminutive profile, the Skycamp Mini deploys to a big two-person tent with ease. It comes with a 50.4 x 80.7-inch mattress and provides about 45.3 inches of headroom inside.
And iKamper advertises that its expandable hardshell design takes less than a minute to deploy or put away. This is a key feature, as many softshell RTTs are not easy or quick to set up or take down.
Construction
A bonus to the hardshell design of this tent is the construction. It utilizes a two-layer design of fiber-reinforced plastic, with a one-inch air-insulating layer between. This setup works to keep the inside of the tent quiet while also mitigating condensation issues.
