And this is nothing YAKIMA price is $5800 so ridiculous . YAKIMA and THULE ares ridiculous more expensive. Screw them so greedy this companies. Should be about $400 bucks $600 tops
Chris Ruiz even building in the USA shouldn’t be that spending. Is a stupid plastic roof NOT GOLD Roof . Is a stupid simple tent . Is so ridiculous the price. Just look at the comments everyone is complaining about the insane ridiculous price. A little use camper would be cheaper and way stronger and roomiest
PayPal Credit offers promotions of 6 months no interest or we offer Klarma checkout that offers longer-term 'pay over time' options. But yeah...super nice tent and worth the spend if you love camping!
Chris Ruiz not thank you so much. I just installed a carpet and bed on my 2003 Toyota Tundra long bed. With a shell camper I got a little MR heat . Rack with my gear on it I spent $60 buck including the bed.
I've read into a lot of the car-top-tents and I believe that this is (probably) one of the best designs for ease of use, and the hard shell design. The BIGGEST FLAW in this design is that you have no room to leave your bedding in there. It is expensive too. For this price i would like to see it integrated into an included pickup bed rack. I would like to see a truck accessory company like LEER buy a little company like this and integrate them into camper shells that match your truck. Cool idea?
My wife and I have been using a Tepui RTT for 5 years now and while we are very interested in this RTT the big issue we have is the thickness or lack of thickness in the mattress. I sleep on my side a lot and have found that these thin mattresses do not provide enough comfort to avoid pressure spots on my hips and shoulders to be comfortable. We in fact had to add a topper to our mattress increasing the thickness to 4 inches in order to be comfortable. When designers figure this out and provide a proper, comfortable mattress they will surely increase their sales but for now, it's a no go for us.
I've been debating this product for a little while now. It is expensive, but from what I've heard from a lot of different people. This is the product to get if you can afford it. I don't know though, I'm still trying to figure it out.
People just remember there are no economies of scale on product like this. They sell a few thousand a year (maybe less) and are individually built. Thus the price.
looks good in priceable. Has a lot of things wrong with it. when driving at speed in the rain or he think dust we get on in the outback of Australia it would leak like a sieve. Not dust or rain proof when closed. 2 in The rooftop tent we use (electrick popup) yes just push a button and the bed is made. We have a 25cm Gel foam mattress. Very comfy and a great night's sleep. Trust me after a had day hiking or driving you will love a good mattress. This unit dose not have to room even to upgrade to a more comfortable mattress due the the way it folds. A Rooftop tent is a lot of $ these days. So before you buy consider very carefully what you need it for and how much are you really going to use it and If it is worth the cost.
Hello. The honeycomb structure lessens the thermal bridging between the upper and lower aluminum sheets. Thanks! www.aluminium-honeycomb-panels.com/news/aluminum-honeycomb-panel-thermal-conductivity.html
Hi James, the rack have a couple of weight rating. They have a dynamic weight rating which is for when the vehicle will be driving, this weight limit is usually lower at around 165lbs - 200lbs. There is also a static weight rating for when the car is parked, the static rating is much higher usually being 2-3 times the dynamic rating. The exact value will vary per case.
Once they get the windows right I will buy one. I don’t need plastic window coverings instead give me a black out like normal tents. Otherwise you can’t have the awning out and the window cracked. They will get there.
Hello. Yes, good point, the surface where the base of the ladder rests must be firm and stable. The bottom of the ladder has ribbed rubber bases, similar to tire tread. Thanks!
This looks like a very good quality tent. Setting it up at ground level looks fiddly and doesn't look like you could easily leave your bedding inside it for travel, im also concerned that condensation or the retaining of moisture after a rain event might be a worry when packing it up. Overall a geat review as we are searching for the ultimate roof top tent.
I do have a question. What if you have a Toyota Tacoma double door and you put it on top how do you reach it on this side to tuck it in? I understand I would probably have to have a ladder to start deploying it and I think I have answered my own question. Have a great day and stay safe
Great video. I don't understand how the mounting brackets work though-they clamp the rack bar but what locks it into the tent rail, or is it because the tent rails themselves are slanted?
This would be a great tent at about half the price. You can buy tepui's best ruggedized tent and literally all their add-ons including a 5 inch thick mattress and huge annex for $1200 cheaper than the starting price of this.
I'm just surprised that no one in the USA has tried to compete with the ikamper....just give people what they want for Pete's sake...and add functional gear to it...100 w solar, Anderson connectors so you can bring power up...two alluminum rails on the roof to carry light cargo...simple things that don't cost much...
Hello. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. It would be great to see a US manufactured RTT at an affordable price. In the mean time we're glad to have options that get people outside to enjoy life with friends and family. Thanks!
@@rackattack the ikamper is the perfect example...and manufacturers just don't get it...the main reason for their success is the HOT COLOR COMBINATION... it's an eye catcher people...and once a buyer set's he's eyes on it, there's no way you can tell him about the cons of the RTT...or any product for that matter... it's been proven time and time again... it's a great market to compete and I wish I was a lot younger...
@@rackattack and talking about affordable pricing, we all know this units pay a great deal in transportation, and the cost in most cases is less than $700...and they add COLORS...not just that ugly green & beige combo that you see in most of them....and yet... no one here in the USA gets it...sad 😢
So close. Looks like it solves the "stuff the tent back in when closing" problem with those straps (clever), but still has the "fiddling with spring poles" issue. Which granted isn't a big deal on shorter vehicles, but I'm done with standing on tires, clambering around and putting in spring poles. I wanted to buy this tent, went with the biggest FSR for the family, but I'd drop it in a hot second in favor of this if iKamper went with telescoping arches instead of spring poles (a la FreeSpirit). And, I'll admit, an insulated option is a lot better than I ever figured it would be. But that hard cover though.
The spring poles should be set up from the inside of the deployed tent, simply reach out of the window, insert the spring pole ends and hook up the awnings quickly without having to reach up from the ground, stand on a tire, ladder, truck bed, etc. Having these awnings can make the interior of the tent much more comfortable by deflecting sunlight, wind and rain from the window. Exposed windows without awnings leave the user with fewer options for their comfort.
@@rackattack Not arguing the importance of window awnings, just wishing for a better support mechanism. Reaching out the window to feed spring poles into slots mounted on the underneath side of the platform is a little inelegant. I watched a TON of videos featuring this tent, and people either did the awning poles from the outside (like in this video) or skipped them altogether. Not knocking this tent to be clear, it's very nearly perfect, and no one's doing it better.
Brilliant tent but how about showing the set-up / break down actually on a vehicle to see how easy it is??! Also that price tag is more than i've spent on any vehicle!! Hell you can buy a microlight aircraft for about the same price! Pheweeeeeee!
I was interested in how you mount this ikamper to a Tacoma 14 & there no rack on top, just I guess seeing on install could give me an understanding of how it’s applied.
Abraham, this would be some sort of customer install in order to get a tent on there. Hopefully you're close to one of our locations and can give us a call! Rack Attack
But how easy is it to stow away from ground level though when the tent is on your roof? It seems difficult to do with the way the ladder has to be stored?
Hello. Here's an open/close video to provide another view while mounted on a vehicle: ruclips.net/video/8nz5sbo6_30/видео.html ...and another: ruclips.net/video/zAZ7eF_OLzM/видео.html Thanks!
I have a 2011 Jeep Liberty w/ Factory Rack / Crossbars.... will this RTT work if I add 2 more factory cross bars (giving me 4 total) vs having to replace everything and get a front runner slimline rack?
You would need to contact Ikamper directly in regards to that. We don't modify fiberglass as I would imagine it would void the warranty on such a sweet product. They might have some thoughts as I would assume they have been asked before. I always default to the makers of the product for questions like this.
Hi Carlo, the 2.0 mounting hardware fits the Prinsu and other similar bars found on Front Runner, CBI and others. Other factors may come into play such as roof clearance, and bar spacing, weight capacity, etc. but generally they'll fit.
Hello. Due to the variable capability of roof rack systems, we encourage the review of iKamper's roof rack set up guide for the most though guidance: ikamper.com/blogs/ikampernation/how-to-mount-a-roof-top-tent-a-step-by-step-guide
Has anyone seen anybody attach a little surf board/bike rack onto the top of the hard shell on this model? Just curious. Really want one but many things need to happen before hand.. all costing $$$
ikamper maker a tent called X-cover. We do not carry it due to supply issues. The X-cover has crossbars on the top, so you can do what you are describing.
I am sure it will be a lot more harder to pop it open and close, once it is installed on top of a tall SUV, its windy and raining, it would be best to just sleep inside the SUV!. That's how I have been camping, sleeping in my SUV and not having to deal with damaging it when parking in low ceiling parking garages here in San Francisco, something for buyers to beware!
I've heard of people bundling smaller sleeping bags inside. Loose bedding I wouldn't recommend based on stories I've heard. The loose bedding can get caught in zippers and stuff. I wouldn't suggest leaving anything inside for too long or months at a time. Wouldn't want musty smelling gear! If you do try to place anything inside to save time make sure there is 0 pressure on the lid. I don't see it listed as a feature but have seen many people do it with sleeping bags!
Will that mattress work in the previous version of the skycam? Will you be able to close it with that mattress in it? Can that mattress be sold separately? I have the older version with a thinner mattress.
The panel dimensions are the same so the new mattress will fit the first SkyCamp. The new mattress may be available but it is not on iKamper's accessory page.
Good question. We haven't tried retrofitting this matress into the original model, but it seems like it should work. You'll want to contact iKamper for mattress availability and compatibility.
The number of times you ran around the tent to do something on closing... And that at waist level and indoors. Not going on my roof, even at 1/4 the price.
That will depend on if you have cross bars already and how strong those cross bars are. If you don't have cross bars one of our store would be happy to help come up with a solution that works for you. www.rackattack.com/stores/ #Don'tBeRackLess
that is harder to setup and take down than my vehicle attachable ground tent. 1) there is another set of keys to lose. 2) the velcro fastener should be at the bottom of the ladder so its easier to reach. 3) hydraulic struts fail in cold climates like Alaska. 4) straps get tangled easily. 5) not enough overhang covering the ladder. 6) the ladder should not be the support for the platform. just these issues alone keep me from spending that amount of money.
I would suggest hand washing or removing the tent before going through a car wash. Some touchless ones might be okay, but even then if the water is sprayed from every direction why risk it? That and the roof of the vehicle will have a dirty spot under the tent anyways. Removal would be my advice.
I don't care much about that sky view window. Eventually it'll turn black like those vinyl Jeep or convertible windows. If they have an option that doesn't have it I'd get that one. I do like the clam shell rather than a soft top. What would be cool is a light weight thermal quilt that you can put in between the rain fly and the top of the tent or even have it sewn on the rain fly itself to help keep in heat at night. Heat rises to the top just sayin'.
Can this be mounted on a Rhino Rack Backbone with the Pioneer Platform on a 2019 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JL with the three piece Freedom Top? It seems long and I want to be able to remove the front Freedom panels over the driver and passenger.
The Freedom panels can be removed with the rack in place. The tent will be higher than the rack, so that should still leave enough room to slip them out. We haven't had this specific combo yet in the store, so we cannot confirm with 100% certainty.
Installation is pretty straight forward on a standard rack system. Email info@rackoutfitters.com with your vehicle and rack setup and we can reply with a quote including current promotions.
I got money.. Money is not the issue, but thats a problem with this tent.. It should be priced at $2000 and there is absolutely no reason for it to be priced at $4000! I want one so i can start taking my Diesel Rubicon Jeep further and further... But why do i feel like i would be ripped off by ordering one of these?? They dont have any deals or discounts either.. to bad because i would have ordered one already
Great video. I gave a question . I just bought 2019 4Runner Limited and it came with OEM roof-rack . Can I use iKamper SkyCamp 2.0 with my OEM roof-rack, if not ,then what do you recommend aftermarket flat top roof-rack? thank you
You'll want to replace the factory crossbars with aftermarket bars that are stronger and more rigid. It is possible to use the factory rails, but given the length of the tent and how the rails don't reach all the way to the front, the tent will be unbalanced and have too much cantilevered off the front. We'd recommend this system for the Skycamp: www.rackoutfitters.com/rhino-rack-rlt600-black-vortex-3-bar-roof-rack-w-rts-tracks-for-toyota-4-runner-2010/
Not to step on your video but just to put this out there from a consumer. But that price is ridiculous for what it is. You'll sell some to the wealthy okay thats fine and good for them . But you are losing market share badly IMO. Most folks who would RTT are already on a budget so this isnt price targeted correctly at all. Those things dont cost nearly that much to build in large scale production, they load flat and very condensed into shipping containers coming to America... Would love to own one on my 4Runner but simply unable to touch it at that price.
Can this be installed and work with my factory gx470 roofrack or do I have to buy an aftermarket flat top roofrack? Great video. Would be cool to see how this thing holds up in snowy conditions. I have electric blanket, solar, and inverters. Does the Ikamper have it's own rail rack as optional equipment? And when stowing, how does it do with condensation
You'll need to upgrade your crossbars and something like: www.rackoutfitters.com/rhino-rack-ja9568-rch-vortex-silver-3-bar-roof-rack-for-lexus-gx-2010/ would be a good choice. Like any of your gear that gets wet or has moisture, you'll want to air it out after use, also the rainfly is easily removable. If you must stow the tent wet, first remove the rainfly which will have kept the main canvas mostly dry.
That's true, but this one should be within the limits of most roof racks. Most are dynamically rated (weight while driving) to 165 and this tent weighs about 155 lb.

I agree. Before looking at the price i thought this was a $1700 option not $3899, but yes nice tent.
And the Rocky Black version is US$300 more.. That would be a total of over AU$6000 here

Great review! I will ask if you missed mentioning the skylight under the rainfly or if this model didn't have one?
Not trying to be that guy, but how is an “aluminum honeycomb” material a good thermal barrier while aluminum itself is an excellent thermoconductor?
Hello. The honeycomb structure lessens the thermal bridging between the upper and lower aluminum sheets. Thanks!
www.aluminium-honeycomb-panels.com/news/aluminum-honeycomb-panel-thermal-conductivity.html
I have the 1.0 and like the improvment and hope the I can add this to my tent too.
If your factory roof rack only rates for say 200lbs, how does this work with two or three people sleeping in it at one time?
Hi James, the rack have a couple of weight rating. They have a dynamic weight rating which is for when the vehicle will be driving, this weight limit is usually lower at around 165lbs - 200lbs. There is also a static weight rating for when the car is parked, the static rating is much higher usually being 2-3 times the dynamic rating. The exact value will vary per case.
This is definitely priced for somebody considering a trailer or caravan. Not the weekender ground tent type buyers.

@@rackattack where would I be able to get one please?
@@ckchouk You'll need to reach out to iKamper directly to inquire about this item. www.ikamper.com/pages/contact-us
The number of times you ran around the tent to do something on closing... And that at waist level and indoors.
Not going on my roof, even at 1/4 the price.
Exactly what I thought.
What’s the total weight? Any warranty
Does it fit a 2 door Jeep
That will depend on if you have cross bars already and how strong those cross bars are. If you don't have cross bars one of our store would be happy to help come up with a solution that works for you.

Very nice tent, would this fit on the Rhino Rack with pioneer platform?
Not without unknown modifications. These tents are designed to mount to standard aero crossbars.
that is harder to setup and take down than my vehicle attachable ground tent. 1) there is another set of keys to lose. 2) the velcro fastener should be at the bottom of the ladder so its easier to reach. 3) hydraulic struts fail in cold climates like Alaska. 4) straps get tangled easily. 5) not enough overhang covering the ladder. 6) the ladder should not be the support for the platform. just these issues alone keep me from spending that amount of money.
At $3499 this guy will not be buying one. They are too proud of it and it ain't worth that much cash.
Where in Austin are you guys?
How much does it weight ?
166 pounds
ah that music in the background
Can it go through the carwash?
I would suggest hand washing or removing the tent before going through a car wash. Some touchless ones might be okay, but even then if the water is sprayed from every direction why risk it? That and the roof of the vehicle will have a dirty spot under the tent anyways. Removal would be my advice.
@@rackattack ok thank u🙏
@@trentdavis6032 Happy to help anytime!
I don't care much about that sky view window. Eventually it'll turn black like those vinyl Jeep or convertible windows. If they have an option that doesn't have it I'd get that one. I do like the clam shell rather than a soft top. What would be cool is a light weight thermal quilt that you can put in between the rain fly and the top of the tent or even have it sewn on the rain fly itself to help keep in heat at night. Heat rises to the top just sayin'.
$4k for a tent?! Bwahaha!!!
How much is the installation?
You mean to tell me the tent is deployed on top of a table? Too much movement won't make the tent fall off the table???
I will own one of theses for on top my Subaru Outback 2015... right now using tree hammocks & tents ( love them, will use both )
Joseph mcclain ridiculous money not worth it
why is the tent $3900 if its imported?
The Korean's charge $900 for it and the middle man make $3000 per unit.
Yacht's are expensive dude !
Can this be mounted on a Rhino Rack Backbone with the Pioneer Platform on a 2019 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JL with the three piece Freedom Top? It seems long and I want to be able to remove the front Freedom panels over the driver and passenger.
The Freedom panels can be removed with the rack in place. The tent will be higher than the rack, so that should still leave enough room to slip them out. We haven't had this specific combo yet in the store, so we cannot confirm with 100% certainty.
How is it unpickable? I’ve yet seen a lock that was unpickable?
Aaron Peterson Point taken, nothing is perfect.
Love these type of tents but always a different company and slightly different design but always similar on price and that’s where they fall down
How much do they charge for installing this $3,000 unit?
Installation is pretty straight forward on a standard rack system. Email info@rackoutfitters.com with your vehicle and rack setup and we can reply with a quote including current promotions.
I got money.. Money is not the issue, but thats a problem with this tent.. It should be priced at $2000 and there is absolutely no reason for it to be priced at $4000!
I want one so i can start taking my Diesel Rubicon Jeep further and further... But why do i feel like i would be ripped off by ordering one of these?? They dont have any deals or discounts either.. to bad because i would have ordered one already
LUVS IT
“And you can see the trademark world map quilt on the roof”.... I’m fairly sure you can’t trademark the world map 😂😂
Yes, better words would have been distinctive, unique, decorative, or inspirational.
Can these be left attached to a daily driver, or does it have to be removed every time you’re done using it?
Best practice is to remove gear/accessories when not being used. With that said, I do see customers around town with these mounted 24/7.
I've had my ikamper mounted for 18 months now. GMC Yukon
Great video. I gave a question . I just bought 2019 4Runner Limited and it came with OEM roof-rack . Can I use iKamper SkyCamp 2.0 with my OEM roof-rack, if not ,then what do you recommend aftermarket flat top roof-rack? thank you
You'll want to replace the factory crossbars with aftermarket bars that are stronger and more rigid. It is possible to use the factory rails, but given the length of the tent and how the rails don't reach all the way to the front, the tent will be unbalanced and have too much cantilevered off the front.
We'd recommend this system for the Skycamp: www.rackoutfitters.com/rhino-rack-rlt600-black-vortex-3-bar-roof-rack-w-rts-tracks-for-toyota-4-runner-2010/
Did anyone else think coffin when he opened it up?
Not to step on your video but just to put this out there from a consumer. But that price is ridiculous for what it is. You'll sell some to the wealthy okay thats fine and good for them . But you are losing market share badly IMO. Most folks who would RTT are already on a budget so this isnt price targeted correctly at all. Those things dont cost nearly that much to build in large scale production, they load flat and very condensed into shipping containers coming to America... Would love to own one on my 4Runner but simply unable to touch it at that price.
You can buy a trailer for that amount of money, but the trendies will still buy haha.

@@rackattack 😁😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Absolutely
Comments on price crack me up....if it’s too much you complainers should make a better one for cheaper 🤷🏼♂️
Not for me. Can't leave bedding inside the tent when closed. Too pricey for that design. Big no!
Looks like a casket
Can this be installed and work with my factory gx470 roofrack or do I have to buy an aftermarket flat top roofrack? Great video. Would be cool to see how this thing holds up in snowy conditions. I have electric blanket, solar, and inverters. Does the Ikamper have it's own rail rack as optional equipment? And when stowing, how does it do with condensation
You'll need to upgrade your crossbars and something like: www.rackoutfitters.com/rhino-rack-ja9568-rch-vortex-silver-3-bar-roof-rack-for-lexus-gx-2010/ would be a good choice.
Like any of your gear that gets wet or has moisture, you'll want to air it out after use, also the rainfly is easily removable. If you must stow the tent wet, first remove the rainfly which will have kept the main canvas mostly dry.
$4k have you lost yer frikin mind !?!
I like how they DO NOT tell you that just about every one of these tents exceeds your roofs weight capacity
That's true, but this one should be within the limits of most roof racks. Most are dynamically rated (weight while driving) to 165 and this tent weighs about 155 lb.
Informative video. The windows are probably made from clear PVC (poly vinyl chloride)
Where to buy? Any shipment to 🇮🇳 India?

Hi, I have a 2019 infiniti QX50 which is tilted roof shape. Is anyway to install Ikamper flat on top of roof???
Jay Kim you could likely uses some sort of spacers
@@Hangover11111 thx
You have to have a roof rack. The rack will provide the flat mounting.
