Skycamp DLX Mini

On April 17th, I placed an order for the iKamper mini awning. On April 20th, I received a notification that a shipping label had been created, with an estimated delivery date of April 24th. However, the awning was not delivered. FedEx indicated that they never received the package. I initiated tracking of the package on the 20th, and the FedEx status remained unchanged. Consequently, I began contacting iKamper on April 22nd.

My attempts to reach iKamper by phone were unsuccessful, as the provided number directed me to a generic voicemail. I sent multiple emails and utilized the chat function, but did not receive a response until Monday, April 27th. The email reply stated that the awning would be shipped via 2-day air through UPS. As of today, Wednesday, I have tracked the shipment and confirmed that it has not yet been tendered to the carrier. My subsequent emails have gone unanswered, and I have been unable to reach anyone by phone.

I have previously encountered issues with their inflatable mattress, which developed a small puncture after its initial use and proved to be highly uncomfortable. The interior lighting system also experienced a short circuit and required replacement. During my most recent trip, the screen of the observation window (moon window) was found to have a tear. I purchased the Mini Deluxe during a promotional sale, with the total cost exceeding $4,000.

While acknowledging that this product surpasses other rooftop tents in its category, I must note that the screen material is notably thin and does not align with the expected quality for a premium rooftop tent. The air mattress is in need of significant improvement; a high-quality foam alternative would be preferable. The lighting system is also a source of disappointment. The switch and outlet frequently become entangled within the tent during the folding process. Furthermore, I have observed that the ladder design could benefit from enhancement.

I am profoundly dissatisfied with the level of customer service provided; it appears to be primarily superficial, with a lack of consistent follow-through, even when communication is established.

I waited to write this review until I had the opportunity to use the Skycamp DLX Mini plenty of times. I'm hopeful this will helpful for potential buyers that might be doing some research before hitting that "Add to Cart" button. I can honestly say it has completely elevated my camping experience. This rooftop tent strikes a perfect balance of comfort, convenience, and smart engineering. In short, this is a great option for those that want a premium experience. Not to mention, it looks great on my Subaru Outback.

The Skycamp DLX Mini opens in about a minute. Add the time it takes to inflate a mattress and make your bed, and you're up and ready to sleep in just about 10 minutes total. I have been storing my deflated mattress and bedding in the tent while it's folded up so it makes it super easy to access when it is time to setup camp. Once setup, it comfortably sleeps two people with plenty of room to stretch out. The interior pockets are nice touches for random storage of a phone, headlamp, etc...

I was skeptical at first, but the perks of the DLX version are worth it. The built in LED light strips are excellent and installed in the perfect locations. The cork flooring adds sound dampening and insulation which makes sleeping very enjoyable. And the included mattress is probably the most comfortable mattress I've ever slept on while camping. I added a memory foam eggshell layer on top of my mattress, and it feels almost as comfortable as my mattress at home.

If you've done your research and have decided a rooftop tent is for you, this is an incredible option. The price seems high, but the quality of the Skycamp DLX Mini and the added features really make it worth it. I'm happy I purchased this tent over others that were on my short list and I don't think I'll be going back to other camping/overlanding sleeping options at any time in the foreseeable future.

Great RTT so far since I had it this summer, all the little convenience features are what makes it truly stands out.

I was amazed at the build quality of the iKamper RTTs. Highly functional with plenty of quality of life add-ons. Easy setup and relatively easy to mount and remove. I researched numerous roof top tents and none of them came close to what iKamper offers.

Going back to camping after a few decades and this rooftop tent is doing the job for me. The delux version has the bed and LED upgrades I would have gotten anyway. I’ve had problems with the electric pump doing its job while I’m sitting watching the stars but it’s pretty quick. With the mattress I’d say set up in 20 minutes. Picture below is at black mesa Oklahoma. It’s dark sky and I was surprised the phone could pick up the northern lights with the RTT the foreground.

Update:

Several weeks ago, I encountered a significant level of dissatisfaction, primarily stemming from issues with FedEx's service.

Subsequent to my initial one-star review, iKamper demonstrated an exceptional commitment to customer satisfaction, exceeding expectations in resolving my concerns. I wholeheartedly endorse iKamper; their service and rooftop tents and accessories are unequivocally superior. Having previously acquired three Roof Top Tents (RTTs) from various other manufacturers, I found those products to be standard or subpar, accompanied by mediocre customer support.

I anticipate upgrading to the 3.0 mini deluxe and foresee a sustained, positive relationship with iKamper.

My commendations to their team.

They are truly exemplary; I recommend them without reservation.

Great quality!

Great quality build...

On April 29th, I submitted two negative reviews concerning the Deluxe Mini and customer service. I wish to acknowledge that iKamper promptly replaced the air mattress and lighting without any complications. It is important for me to convey my complete satisfaction with my rooftop tent, for which I have consistently purchased accessories. Despite the aforementioned issues, I do not regret my purchases.

we have not used it for an overnight yet, still airing it out. Hope to that in the next few weeks. At this point I have only two comments.it would nice if you could remove the key on the latch in the open position. Generally I am not a fan of blow up mattresses so that’s a wait and see.

I purchased the iKamper DLX Mini as a gift for my son. He was extremely excited and has already taken it out on several excursions.

Definitely the best , it' is built so well not a tent definitely a Kamper. I have owned several from Roofnest to Iornman, they exactly the same rooftop tents made from the same blue prints , same frustrating flaws with different names stamped on them .
I kamper is quality worth the investment. Built to last a lifetime. I loved the boxing it came with...It was enginerd as well as the Kamper. I kamper is the best highly engineered with 100 percent quality. I promise Ikamper is the best , Forget the rest !!!!!!

I have owned several different RTTs from various companies and this is hands down the best RTT I’ve ever owned. Light weight, super easy installation, fast set up and tear down. Tons of room for me.

The tent is awesome this is my second one easy set up lites rock the only thing im not to impressed with is your air mattress/foam anything with air and sleep is okay but you always have to add air there is really no getting around it my overlander had a foam mattress and i always packed a extra one but for the price of the ikamper mattress in my opinion is a glorified air mattress not a deal breaker but i will be suseing my other mattress on top of the air mattress but no air othdr then that i like it i live in north idaho so it will be used in harsh conditions we will see winter is arkund the corner

Great quality! I picked the mini to save space and weight. Install was easy. It’s turn key ready once you mount it. The air mattress and lights on the DLX model are great upgrades. Very happy with my iKamper.

The skycamp DLX mini has been a great upgrade from our last rooftop tent. It has just the space we need, along with comfort, since it comes with its own airmattress. The only thing we wish it came with is the shoe storage bag. For now we are using shoe bags we found on Amazon. Overall it has been a great rooftop tent. Looking forward to continued adventures!
