    You have a great family and I enjoyed your daughter's happy spirit. After 50 years on San Juan Island, and a student of NW history, I have to correct your date on the signing of the boarder treaty between the US and Britain. You said 1849, but the actual date was June 15, 1846. Yeah, not a big deal until some local decides to comment! Your camera technique was excellent, as was the editing. When your daughter is as old as mine (50 this year) you will be very grateful you put the effort into both the trips and the filming!

    to the honest, if i spend 3700 on this i kamper, i don't mind to spend extra 800 to get the James baroud evo. at least you don't need to drill holes on this awesome rack. just personal opinion.

  • @donmontalvo1

    This is why I went with Rhino-Rack Backbone + Vortex crossbars for my iKamper Skycamp Mini. Some folks on the iKamper site claim the iKamper 2.0 brackets are compatible with the crossbars on the Pioneer rack. But I can't see how that could be possible. The iKamper 1.0 clamps work, but then you've got to drill, and then at the end of the day the Pioneer rack is a waste of money, compared to crossbars. I'm glad you got it to work, I hope you and your family have lots of wonderful camping trips.

  • @jneil78

    The 2.0 mounts are just not deep enough to get around the crossbars on the Pioneer system. However, there just wasn't enough info out there when I made my purchase or else I might have gone another direction. Hope you are enjoying your setup!

  • @jneil78
    @jneil783 жыл бұрын

    I can’t ell you with 100% certainty, but if your rack is longer and wider with the additional planks, then the tent rails should be able to directly mount to the cross bars. The dimensions for the tent are on ikamper’s website under the skycamp product. They taper so there will be a front and rear dimension.

  • @jneil78
    @jneil783 жыл бұрын

    Significant wind noise. However, I did forget to insert the rail plugs, but I thought that the fix would be ordering the ikamper wind deflector. I also inserter the plugs when I installed the deflector and the noise is now hardly noticeable. Again, the plugs may have been the only thing needed, but I like the look of the deflector and don't feel like removing it to test the plugs alone. Also, with tent/rack/deflector combo I only lost about .5-.7 mpg.

    Thanks for posting your installation of the iKamper to Rhino Rack Pioneer Platform. I would of liked to see the complete installation, but you stopped after you drilled the holes. Were there any other issues with installing the RTT? I hated seeing you drilling into the Rack. I have the Rhino Rack Pioneer Platform and seriously considering purchasing the iKamper 2.0, but now I have concerns. Any recommendations?

  • @jneil78
    @jneil783 жыл бұрын

    Thanks for watching. After drilling the holes we placed 2x4s parallel to the crossbars and set the tent on it. This have us space to slide the brackets in the tent rails and get the bolts lined up with the holes. That part was very helpful. I wouldn't worry about drilling holes in the rack itself, those planks can be replaced individually, you do have to remove the rack to do so, but does t ruin the rack per se. Overall, very happy with the combo although I think the tent could be installed easier on a less robust rack. Good luck!
