camping car roof tent iKamper Skycamp 3.0 Mini Black

What's one of the complaints many people have on roof top tents? The mattress. But why? Well, some may find them a bit thin. iKamper has addressed that issue, and got a thicker mattress. The Skycamp mini 3.0 comes with a 2.25" thick insulated polyfoam mattress, with a 9-zone comfort design, which adds both insulation as well as a much comfier surface and feel. 

You will instantly notice the difference between this mattress and any other hi-density foam from other brands. The sleeping footprint is of 83" x 52", comfortably accommodating two people.

Add to that the beautiful features that you can find inside the tent, such as the world map in the inner part of the top shell, the feel and quality of the canvas, and suddenly inside the roof top tent feels almost like your own private suite!

Skycamp Mini 3.0 Truck Bed Tent 

The iKamper Skycamp 3.0 Mini is the ideal truck bed tent. Thanks to a smaller footprint of just 55" x 57.5" x 13" when closed, it will fit most if not all truck beds. If you own a Jeep Gladiator, a Toyota Tacoma, a Ford Ranger or any other pick-up truck and you want to mount a roof top tent over any bed rack, the Skycamp Mini 3.0 will fit.

Add to that the fact that it weighs only 125 lbs, this is one of the lightest, if not the lightest hard shell roof top tent in the market. You can either mount it over a low profile bed rack, over bed load bars, a mid height bed rack, or even a cab height or roof height bed rack that it will make no difference: the tent will fit.

Also, thanks to the smaller and more compact size, it's ideal for double cabs and crew cabs, once again adding onto the great versatility this tent offers. Smaller vehicles can also benefit from the Skycamp Mini 3.0, as it'll fit shorter vehicles, and will not have as much impact on the roof rack weight capacity.

4-Season Roof Top Tent

Designed to camp all year round, the iKamper Skycamp 3.0 Mini is a true 4-season roof top tent. It comes with a strong and durable shell made of a double-layered fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) with 1" air insulation. The floor panels are made of hi-performance honeycomb aluminum, that could even hold the weight of a 1.8 ton Jeep, plus they provide great insulation.

Let's not forget the the fabric or canvas of this rooftop tent is a breathable, black-out, 300gsm poly-cotton canvas. and the rainfly which adds an extra layer of waterproofing and protection is made of waterproof polyester 75D ripstop rainfly w/ eco-friendly water-repellent (DWR) coating.

No matter where you are and at what time of the year, the Skycamp Mini 3.0 will allow you to enjoy a nice time surrounded by sun, rain, wind or snow. You'll be safe, protected from the elements, with enough breathability and ventilation during the warmer temperatures, and insulated from the cold during winter. It was built to last and sustain any condition.

Turn it into a roof cargo box

Are you mounting the tent over the roof? Or will it be a tuck bed tent? It really doesn't matter, with the Skycamp 3.0 mini if you take out the detachable canvas and the mattress, you can turn it into a cargo carrier.

In a matter of just minutes, if you won't be using it for camping, this tent will turn into a cargo box for safe, dry and easy storage of clothing, accessories, gear or whatever item you can think of that can fit inside the 10+" of space inside of it. Once again, the great versatility of the tent is simply amazing.

A great investment for you not only in terms of camping and overlanding, but in terms of cargo carrying capacity, storage space inside your vehicle, and easily moving items from point A to point B. The iKamper Skycamp 3.0 Mini isn't just a roof top tent, but rather an all-in-one camping and cargo carrying partner.

Skycamp 3.0 Mini Easy Installation

The Skycamp 3.0 Mini hard shell roof top tent won't be that difficult to install. As you can see in the video above, installation will require the assistance of hopefully one more person, but it's not as complex. The fact that the tent weighs only 125 lbs will make it much easier to put it over the roof of your rig, or on your truck bed rack.

After that, it's time to tighten the brackets to your rack system and make sure the tent is in place. Thanks to the new and improved 3.0 brackets, the Mini 3.0 is much, much easier to install even with thicker crossbars or slats from platform systems. Still, you can choose to purchase the 1.0 brackets in case you need them, but the new ones should get the trick done.

The tent already includes all the tools and gear needed for installation. It comes with the Mounting Brackets 3.0, iKamper Allen Wrench, HC Ladder, 2 Keys, Hard Shell Wax (Gloss Black), Tension Poles, 4 Rail Endcaps, and the Instruction Manual. Just open the box and get ready to install. Just in case, the telescoping ladder is integrated into the tent design

Not only is it an ideal truck bed tent, it's lightweight, has a smaller footprint, can turn into a cargo carrier, great for smaller vehicles, and it's incredibly easy to set up and pack down.

iKamper Skycamp 3.0 Mini FAQs:

Will this roof top tent work over my car?

Yes, the Skycamp 3.0 Mini can work over most cars. It weighs 125 lbs, which means you need a roof rack, bed rack or crossbar system that has a dynamic weight capacity or load rating (when the vehicle is MOVING) of at least 125 lbs.

This shouldn't be a problem, since 125 lbs is literally on the lighter side of the spectrum when it comes to the weight of RTTs. As a matter of fact, it's very hard to find lighter hard top tents than this one. Which is great, as it will fit most vehicles and rack systems due to size and weight.

How many people can actually fit inside of it?

The iKamper Skycamp Mini 3.0 is a 2 person hard shell roof top tent.

Where is it made?

All iKamper roof top tents and accessories are manufactured directly at their own factory in South Korea. They run a tight quality control and production line, ensuring the quality, craftmanship and design are top notch!

Does it have a warranty?

Yes, the warranty for the iKamper Skycamp Mini 3.0 hard shell is for 2 years from the date of purchase. iKamper will repair or replace (at their discretion) defective parts at no cost to the customer.

What vehicles are recommended for the Skycamp 3.0 Mini?

Almost any pick-up truck is ideal for the 3.0 Mini. Why? Given the smaller footprint, the Skycamp 3.0 Mini will fit almost any truck bed, as well as most double cabs and all crew cabs. If you own a pickup truck such as a Toyota Tacoma, Toyota Tundra, Ford F150, any Ford F Series, RAM, Jeep Gladiator, Nissan Titan or Frontier and such, then the iKamper 3.0 Mini is a great fit. 

However, it'll also work just fine with other SUVs or vehicles, ranging from a Rav4 to a 4Runner, or other Jeeps.

Should I get the Mini or the regular Skycamp?

This is a great question, and it depends on you and what you really need. The 3.0 Mini is great because of how small and lightweight it is. It can also be the ideal truck bed tent or fit smaller vehicles. If you plan to only camp with someone else, this roof top tent is perfect. If you see yourself with larger groups or a family, then the bigger model might be a better fit.
