Awning 2.0

A must have! Great shade and when it is raining you will be so grateful to have this

Great way to get shade set up quickly with the iKamper!

Loving the awning and annex on my 2.0...awning is flexible and easy to deploy...I've taken to draping it over a gazelle gazebo to create a sitting area with covered access to the skycamp. Annex is a bit more involved to set up but worth it when parked for a few days...

It's very high quality. The pictures on the site don't do it justice for the size it is way bigger then I expected which is a plus. Great coverage. Easy to set up but easier with 2 people. Some directions would be helpful but there are a couple good videos on YouTube.

The awning is really nice and easy to put up. It won’t be a thing I put up every trip but for longer stays it’s going to be great. I think it’s one of the best solutions for “cheaper” additional coverage. Made out of a nice material and isn’t too large of a bag when in storage.

This thing is a game changer. Easy to set up. Quality from the storage bag to the poles to the rope makes you understand the price. You get what you pay for. A great and cheaper way to add an awning then adding a mounted option and it covers more ground. Loved it and can’t wait to use it again. Set up was quick and will get faster over time. I do recommend having two people

Fit like a glove! This is a must have for your RTT - greatly expands your hang out area. We got hailed on our first afternoon (crazy Colorado!) and this saved us from experiencing a stressful weekend. The zipper and Velcro hold a strong bold and poles and tie-down line worked great. My only build is it’s not overtly obvious in the instructions where the extra line and stakes go (on the corners closest to RTT). Stakes could be better quality too. 9/10

I got this awning right before my camping trip, and it was very useful when the sun gets hot and there was no shade around. easy to set up and easy to pack it up. Set up for the first time was around 8 minutes.

The awning is super easy to set up. We use it for when rain is expected or to shade from the sun. High quality materials as expected.

The awning adds additional space to keep you dry in the rain and cool under the shade while packing away in a small form factor. A must have if you don’t have much space in your rig or if you’re looking for the best alternative to add extra covered space at a low price.

Love the quality of this awning, I would give it 5 stars but it is a bit awkward to set up by yourself, another set of hands makes this much more simple. I was also pleasantly surprised by the size (mine is the mini iKamper version), lots of good coverage. The light weight is nice as well vs. the mounted swing out awnings.

Awning held steady in high sustained winds for 3 days. Easy to deploy and pack. Great coverage!

Love it!!! Best purchase I made.

I love the tent itself. It easy to deploy, but hard to close. It closes 95% super easy, but getting the tent to fully close requires someone climbing on the truck and sitting on the tent. (No bags or pillows inside).

The locking straps are poorly designed as well. They have a loose rubber guard that would make a great Handle for pulling the tent down the last 5% but it’s loose. When you pull it it just slides down the actual latches and prevent you from putting them in place. This system would function better if it had some sort of ratchet assist.

It’s easier than a loose PVC cover, but much harder than I expected a $4300 tent to be. If I had bad knees and couldn’t climb on the truck... this thing would never close.

Do not let them tell you this is easy to close.

This awning is amazing in size and coverage. Setting it up takes a few minutes, an extra set of hands to hold the poles while you tie the flies, and a little practice getting it straight and lining it up to the opening of the tent so that the fabric isn’t twisted and a nice taut surface is created for water to run off. Love the height and how it perfectly attaches to our tent. Love it once it’s up. Kinda dread the set up and tear down.

The Skycamp Mini Awning was very easy to install and the material the awning is made from is very high quality. I was impressed with the double layer of material that made the awning water proof, light weight, yet very strong and well built. The extension poles are of high quality too, expand easily and are very sturdy. I love using the awning for a shaded sitting area. I am sure it will perform very well in the rain.

Easy to set up! Very sturdy on a 30-40mph wind gusts

Great awning that increases the useable space for heavy sun or in rain. Easier to set up once I understood the gye ropes, simple. I zipped the awning first then poles and stakes. When you unpack it the first time be sure to pay attention to how it was originally folded and it will make life easier when you have to pack it up later. More affordable than the annex and I think more practical for space and set up time.

The awning transforms the Skycamp from a tent to a liveable space, providing enough room to cook and dine under. The setup is easy (it took us less than 5 minutes the first time) and the placement of the grommets (pole holes) allows for a variety of layouts. And when you’re done it all packs away into its own carry bag ready to stow in the Skycamp for the next use. We wouldn’t travel without it!

This is the best accessory I purchased! I was originally thinking between an annex room and an awning. I made the right decision buying the awning instead especially for a tropical country like Philippines. It is easy to install and has a very wide coverage! I ❤️ It!

The awning is a highly recommended accessory. It allows for adding a lot of additional covered space under the tent to protect from sun and rain. The quality is apparent in the materials and attention to detail. The poles are telescoping and allows the awning to be level on unlevel ground and ample room for tall folks. Of course it all fits into a small bag that is easy to transport.

WELL DONE! This is a very easy setup awning and we just love it. Very spacious and waterproof. I recommend this 100% for those who goes out camping a lot. You never know what to expect for weather, it covers you for both sun and rain :)!

The awning is my favorite accessory! It zips on and sets up in just a few minutes (1 zipper, 4 poles, 6 guylines) and it's HUGE! While the annex room makes for an impressive and useful addition for longer stays, the awning is quick, easy and very effective for shorter campouts.

The quality is 1st class, just like the Skycamp and it folds up quite nicely and easily to be stored in its included tote bag along with the poles and lines!

Speaking of the poles and lines, if you've ever bought a tent before - of any kind, you're in for a treat. They are NOT normal - moreso the Cadillac version. I know it sounds silly to get excited over tent poles, but trust me - they're something to get excited over! Well done (again) iKamper!

The quality of the awning is very good. The fabric is strong and waterproof. It has help up well in mild wind. I LOVE that you can get in and out of the tent under cover. This is a huge improvement over most awning/RTT setups since your awning is typically attached to your roof rack, below your rooftop tent making the two incompatible. However, what I don't love are all the poles and guy wires. They take too long to setup (for my taste) and I end up tripping over the wires. If they could find a way to incorporate a poleless foxwing style awning that would be amazing althought its probably not practical. I plan to add a foxwing style on one side of my setup (for shade), and keep the skycamp awning off most the time unless the weather report calls for rain. Overall a great product though and really great addition to the skycamp. I was on the fence originally, and I'm glad a sprung the extra money for the awning.

If you are going to buy the skycamp, this is a must have accessory. The awning not only gives you a place to hang out if it is raining, or a place to sit in the shade, but it also provides a dry ladder when get in and out of the tent. The materials it is made of is top quality and should last for years to come.

Make sure to bring an extra chair as someone will want to join you while you hang out in your "base camp" away from the elements! :)

I took out the iKamper SkyCamp last weekend for a one-night test run and got a good feel of how to set it up and sleep in the tent.

I've camped in Tepui tent of a diffrent types as well. I prefer the cotton/canvas vs nylon canopies. The canvas feels more substantial and insulated from sound. Flapping from a nylon tent can keep you up at night.

I'm really a big fan of the zip on awning! I really like that the awning just extends from the rain fly. I don't really need a full room which is the only option on Tepui/CVT and others and I don't want to buy a separate awning that would have to be mounted on the opposite side of the vehicle, it would just split up the area too much, I want to just set up on one side of the vehicle.

I like that two rain flys are included, the small rain fly is kinda hidden away, but for a quick stay, the small fly does not require the spring still support rods making the set up even faster.

When closing up the tent, the canopy tends to billow out the ends and it's tough to reach them to tuck them back in, however, I devised a very simple solution, just an elastic cord attached to the sides and connected in the middle, the elastic cord draws in the canopy automatically. This issue is not isolated to the skycamp, seems all the tents require a lot of tucking to get the canopy stowed, but with this little mod the iKamper is ultra fast to stow.

The Toyota Tundra has a big v8 and only gets 13 mpg normally, I tracked the mileage over a 300-mile trip and having the iKamper lowered the mileage by .5 mpg. With the iKamper set far back on the vehicle, it wasn't noticable. A big vehicle with a lot of mass I think will have much less impact on mpg than a proportionately smaller vehicle to the iKamper, I've heard others with smaller vehicles like a Subaru Forester getting 1-2 mpg hit but that's to be expected.
I would really like to see iKamper come out with a medium size SkyCamp, a queen size bed version that would have a shorter form factor and fit better on mid size trucks and SUV. I need the king size now with my wife and two daughters but I can see how others would be happy with a medium.

Rain storm was coming in Yellowstone. Didn't think we had much time til getting wet. Setup was quick and we had ample space for all 3 of us to eat, cook and visit. If you get a SkyCamp then the awning is a must. Zips in fast and nice quality poles that adjust to many heights. Fabric is heavy duty. A little difficult to fold back up but I attribute it akin to a fitted sheet (folds not so smooth but functions great). Even so, there is plenty of room in the carrying case. Have I mentioned how excited I am about the SkyCamp and future camping trips!

The perfect awning! Plenty of shade and looks great!

Easy setup and covers a decent amount of space
