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.)

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?

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.

Have they figured out a way to attach the tent to a pioneer platform yet? ( without drilling holes in the platform) That is my biggest concern.

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

@ConquestOverland

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).

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?

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.

All personal preference but I've found that item to help quite a bit!

If you want to plan long term perhaps the Skycamp 3.0 (kzread.info/dash/bejne/n6Krw8ewe9TSZpc.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.

People saying this is expensive but what’s the cheaper option??

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.👍
