Skycamp Mini 3.0 - 2 Person- Hard Shell Roof Top Tent - by iKamper 

Introducing the iKamper SKycamp 3.0 Mini, the new hard shell roof top tent that is ideal for almost all vehicles. Weighing only 125 lbs, and with dimensions of only 55" x 57.5" x 13" when closed, this roof top tent is easier to mount, won't impact as much your rack's weight capacity, plus it does fit most truck beds.

The improved features of this RTT include:

  • High-performance honeycomb aluminum floor panels (strong enough to hold a 1.8-ton Jeep Wrangler) 
  • Lock the roof top tent: custom stainless steel, easy-access, hard shell locks for peace of mind
  • Smaller footprint than most hard top tents, ideal for truck beds
  • Improved 9-zone insulated and really comfortable mattress

The iKamper Skycamp 3.0 Mini is a small hardshell roof top tent that will very comfortably fit two adults, or potentially an adult and two small children (but it might be a bit tight!). This is a perfect roof top tent for 2 people, couples, solo travelers or even you and your dog. Also, thanks to the smaller footprint, the Skycamp Mini 3.0 is the ideal truck bed tent, meaning it will fit most truck beds easily, without any overhang or needing to use a roof height bed rack.

Thicker & More Comfortable Mattress 

What's one of the complaints many people have on roof top tents? The mattress. But why? Well, some may find them a bit thin. iKamper has addressed that issue, and got a thicker mattress. The Skycamp mini 3.0 comes with a 2.25" thick insulated polyfoam mattress, with a 9-zone comfort design, which adds both insulation as well as a much comfier surface and feel. 

You will instantly notice the difference between this mattress and any other hi-density foam from other brands. The sleeping footprint is of 83" x 52", comfortably accommodating two people.

Add to that the beautiful features that you can find inside the tent, such as the world map in the inner part of the top shell, the feel and quality of the canvas, and suddenly inside the roof top tent feels almost like your own private suite!


Skycamp Mini 3.0 Truck Bed Tent 

The iKamper Skycamp 3.0 Mini is the ideal truck bed tent. Thanks to a smaller footprint of just 55" x 57.5" x 13" when closed, it will fit most if not all truck beds. If you own a Jeep Gladiator, a Toyota Tacoma, a Ford Ranger or any other pick-up truck and you want to mount a roof top tent over any bed rack, the Skycamp Mini 3.0 will fit.

Add to that the fact that it weighs only 125 lbs, this is one of the lightest, if not the lightest hard shell roof top tent in the market. You can either mount it over a low profile bed rack, over bed load bars, a mid height bed rack, or even a cab height or roof height bed rack that it will make no difference: the tent will fit.

Also, thanks to the smaller and more compact size, it's ideal for double cabs and crew cabs, once again adding onto the great versatility this tent offers. Smaller vehicles can also benefit from the Skycamp Mini 3.0, as it'll fit shorter vehicles, and will not have as much impact on the roof rack weight capacity.


4-Season Roof Top Tent

Designed to camp all year round, the iKamper Skycamp 3.0 Mini is a true 4-season roof top tent. It comes with a strong and durable shell made of a double-layered fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) with 1" air insulation. The floor panels are made of hi-performance honeycomb aluminum, that could even hold the weight of a 1.8 ton Jeep, plus they provide great insulation.

Let's not forget the the fabric or canvas of this rooftop tent is a breathable, black-out, 300gsm poly-cotton canvas. and the rainfly which adds an extra layer of waterproofing and protection is made of waterproof polyester 75D ripstop rainfly w/ eco-friendly water-repellent (DWR) coating.

No matter where you are and at what time of the year, the Skycamp Mini 3.0 will allow you to enjoy a nice time surrounded by sun, rain, wind or snow. You'll be safe, protected from the elements, with enough breathability and ventilation during the warmer temperatures, and insulated from the cold during winter. It was built to last and sustain any condition.


Turn it into a roof cargo box

Are you mounting the tent over the roof? Or will it be a tuck bed tent? It really doesn't matter, with the Skycamp 3.0 mini if you take out the detachable canvas and the mattress, you can turn it into a cargo carrier.

In a matter of just minutes, if you won't be using it for camping, this tent will turn into a cargo box for safe, dry and easy storage of clothing, accessories, gear or whatever item you can think of that can fit inside the 10+" of space inside of it. Once again, the great versatility of the tent is simply amazing.

A great investment for you not only in terms of camping and overlanding, but in terms of cargo carrying capacity, storage space inside your vehicle, and easily moving items from point A to point B. The iKamper Skycamp 3.0 Mini isn't just a roof top tent, but rather an all-in-one camping and cargo carrying partner.


Skycamp 3.0 Mini Easy Installation

The Skycamp 3.0 Mini hard shell roof top tent won't be that difficult to install. As you can see in the video above, installation will require the assistance of hopefully one more person, but it's not as complex. The fact that the tent weighs only 125 lbs will make it much easier to put it over the roof of your rig, or on your truck bed rack.

After that, it's time to tighten the brackets to your rack system and make sure the tent is in place. Thanks to the new and improved 3.0 brackets, the Mini 3.0 is much, much easier to install even with thicker crossbars or slats from platform systems. Still, you can choose to purchase the 1.0 brackets in case you need them, but the new ones should get the trick done.

The tent already includes all the tools and gear needed for installation. It comes with the Mounting Brackets 3.0, iKamper Allen Wrench, HC Ladder, 2 Keys, Hard Shell Wax (Gloss Black), Tension Poles, 4 Rail Endcaps, and the Instruction Manual. Just open the box and get ready to install. Just in case, the telescoping ladder is integrated into the tent design


Open & Close It In Less Than 60 Seconds

We have been saying it throughout this whole description: the iKamper Skycamp 3.0 Mini hard shell roof top tent is versatile. Not only is it an ideal truck bed tent, it's lightweight, has a smaller footprint, can turn into a cargo carrier, great for smaller vehicles, and it's incredibly easy to set up and pack down.

How long does it take? 60 seconds. Yes, 1 minute. That's all it takes you to fully open the tent and get ready to camp or sleep, and just another 60 seconds to fully close it and pack it down to get ready to hit the road, the trail, or go for a walk and leave you camp locked and safe.

As you can watch on the video, it's literally a piece of cake. Add to that the new lockable custom made system by iKamper, and the Skycamp 3.0 Mini is safe and secure from strangers. Just close it, lock the latches, and you're good to go. Safer than ever before!

iKamper Skycamp 3.0 Mini FAQs:

Will this roof top tent work over my car?

Yes, the Skycamp 3.0 Mini can work over most cars. It weighs 125 lbs, which means you need a roof rack, bed rack or crossbar system that has a dynamic weight capacity or load rating (when the vehicle is MOVING) of at least 125 lbs.

This shouldn't be a problem, since 125 lbs is literally on the lighter side of the spectrum when it comes to the weight of RTTs. As a matter of fact, it's very hard to find lighter hard top tents than this one. Which is great, as it will fit most vehicles and rack systems due to size and weight.

How many people can actually fit inside of it?

The iKamper Skycamp Mini 3.0 is a 2 person hard shell roof top tent.

Where is it made?

All iKamper roof top tents and accessories are manufactured directly at their own factory in South Korea. They run a tight quality control and production line, ensuring the quality, craftmanship and design are top notch!

Does it have a warranty?

Yes, the warranty for the iKamper Skycamp Mini 3.0 hard shell is for 2 years from the date of purchase. iKamper will repair or replace (at their discretion) defective parts at no cost to the customer.

What vehicles are recommended for the Skycamp 3.0 Mini?

Almost any pick-up truck is ideal for the 3.0 Mini. Why? Given the smaller footprint, the Skycamp 3.0 Mini will fit almost any truck bed, as well as most double cabs and all crew cabs. If you own a pickup truck such as a Toyota Tacoma, Toyota Tundra, Ford F150, any Ford F Series, RAM, Jeep Gladiator, Nissan Titan or Frontier and such, then the iKamper 3.0 Mini is a great fit. 

However, it'll also work just fine with other SUVs or vehicles, ranging from a Rav4 to a 4Runner, or other Jeeps.

Should I get the Mini or the regular Skycamp?

This is a great question, and it depends on you and what you really need. The 3.0 Mini is great because of how small and lightweight it is. It can also be the ideal truck bed tent or fit smaller vehicles. If you plan to only camp with someone else, this roof top tent is perfect. If you see yourself with larger groups or a family, then the bigger model might be a better fit.

Fast paced romantasy you will not want to put down!
Format: Kindle
4.25 stars! I LOVED this book with similar vibes to Hush Hush, Fourth Wing, and The Serpent and the Wings of Night! It was fast paced with easy world building and will keep you turning the pages late into the night because you will not want to put it down! Huntyr is a fierce bad@ss FMC trained to kill vampyres her entire life. She is sent on a mission to go to the academy and earn her spot into The Golden City. Upon arrival, she is forced to room with the delicious fallen angel, Wolf, who is the only one who knows about her assassin identity. The romance, the plot twists, the secrets revealed, the battles, and the tantalizing training scenes had me hooked! And that ending…. I’m holding my breath in need to know hell! Read if you love: 🪽 Fae, Vampyres, Fallen Angels 🪽 Academy setting with magical trials 🪽 Forced proximity and slow burn 🪽 Rivals to lovers 🪽 Hidden identities and secrets 🪽 Tend your wounds “𝘖𝘧 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘸𝘢𝘵𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘺𝘰𝘶.

Excellent Rivals to Lovers!!
Format: Kindle
The tension and banter between Huntyr and Wold was delectable. I absolutely love the fallen angel and all of his flaws. Huntyr is amazing too being a badass FMC with some major trauma. The world building was great and I enjoyed the training aspect of the story. The writing was immersive and was in the story the whole time. The ending had quite a twist that I hadn’t anticipated and made my jaw DROP. Excellent job! I also loved the narration. Laura is one of my fave narrators!

No Mourners..
Format: Hardcover
‘No mourners…’ ‘…no funerals.’ Among them, it passed for good luck. ” This quote is a perfect description of the tone set throughout this entire novel. A hopelessness so ingrained in a group of people that their phrase for good luck is hinged around the idea of no one mourning or honoring their deaths. Having read the Shadow and Bone trilogy, I was familiar with the Grisha universe prior to reading this novel. If you’re wondering which you should read first, I suggest reading the trilogy prior to the duology — it will get you a lot of historical context that lays the foundation for the problems, war and ultimate state of the world this book is set it. I will say, I enjoyed the Grisha trilogy but found myself frustrated with the direction the story ended up going. Leigh Bardugo is a phenomenal writer but it felt like the end of that trilogy took the easy way out — but that review is for a different day. Six of crows shows Bardugo’s redemption in making the difficult but correct plot choices, in my opinion. This entire book is thrilling because the reader (presumably having read her previous Grisha trilogy) goes into the story assuming they will have some idea of where the story will go, having explored this world before. This couldn’t be farther from the truth. Six of crows follows the dark and dangerous mob-lifestyles in the Barrel of Ketterdam, far away from the Golden Palace of Prince Nikolai and the worshiped Sankta Alina. Bardugo does not shy away from the dark and gruesome reality of the mob lifestyle, she embraces it. Readers are shown vivid descriptions of call-girls, gambling rings, mistakes punishable by death and ruthless leaders capable of lethality at any second. Despite such a horrific environment, Bardugo’s character development leaves the readers connecting, loving and rooting for characters with truly horrible qualities. One thing I appreciated was the pacing of this story – you’re shown an enticing and mysterious scene right off the bat, completely immersing you into this story as you crave to find out more behind what happened. Immediately, you’re pulled away and shown the humble beginnings of Kas Brekker and the Dregs from the Crow Club, learning about their personalities, roles, and motives for the dangerous job that takes up most of the story. Readers learn details slowly — not so slow that they’re bored — but slow enough that they’re kept hooked to the plot, hoping the next page turn will provide the answer they need. Just when you might become a bit bored by the plot, a twist or exciting, unexpected wrench gets thrown into the mix bringing you back in. As you go along in the story, you’re introduced to more details about each member of the Dregs, their pasts that led them to this journey they take together, and the secrets that shape their relationships. These details are done brilliantly, as readers are able to see these memories and experiences from each characters point of view. This brings a human quality to the characters and allows readers to empathize with their situations, thus creating a bond between reader and character that allows them to continue to love and support the Dregs despite the horrible things they do to each other and others throughout the journey. You’re rooting for them to get the endings they want and deserve and hoping they won’t choose to lie, cheat, kill and steal in order to get there, but ultimately accept that that is just who they are. The only time this aspect of the characters was frustrating was at the end of the book. The relationship between Kaz and Inej is tantalizingly frustrating throughout the story, but the end of the book is where we really see Kaz’s nature and I found myself so frustrated that he couldn’t be better for her and that because of him, Inej gets placed in the worst case scenario. I’m hoping that he redeems himself in the second installment. Overall — there’s no denying that Leigh Bardugo has talent and if you loved the first trilogy, I guarantee you’ll love this one even more. If you had mixed feelings on the first Grisha trilogy, I urge you to give this duology a try. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised. Stay tuned for the review around book two!

Great read with an interesting plot
It took me quite some time to get to this book, mostly because I never managed to read the original Grisha trilogy, I tried several times to get started with it, but there was something about it that didn’t quite suck me in. Eventually though, I gave up that series and decided to dig into Six of Crows even though I had not read the Grisha trilogy in advance. And I am happy that I did because Six of Crows was an easy read that pulled me in rather quickly. In Six of Crows we follow a group of six criminals from a gang called the Dregs, and when their leader, Kaz, gets a job that would change their lives forever, he can’t say no, despite the job being as impossible as it gets. So, in this book, we get to come along on the quest as they set out to break into one of the most secure prisoners in Fjerda. There’s a lot of things that I really enjoy in this book, but also a few things that slightly annoyed me. But for the most part this is a great read and the way the author has managed to keep the reader invested in all three characters and their separate POVs is impressive, not once did I feel like any of the characters were unnecessary or flat. Every character is well developed with interesting backstory and there’s also a lot going on in their relationships and thanks to the separate POV’s you get a very intimate connection to each an ever characters emotions and reasons to what they do. It’s, like I said, beautifully crafted and the writing too is beautiful and vivid. The wordbuiling is great and Bardugo manages to incorporate details of the world and the scenery in the story without it feeling heavy with information. It all flows very well, and as I read it was easy to picture the scenes. The plot was interesting, full of twists and turns and seeing the team’s job take shape from the eyes of multiple POVs made for a very interesting read and also gave the heist that sense of mystery and surprise that we’re used to seeing on tv and in movies. As for the things that I didn’t quite like it was not bad enough to really make a difference in the overall rating, but it was still things that stuck out to me. The first being that I felt like the heist sometimes got overshadowed by massive bits of backstory. The backstory itself didn’t bother me because they were interesting and great, and they made me understand and connect with the character a lot more, but I didn’t feel like they were necessary for the story in that elaborated manor they had been written in, less information had been enough and kept the pacing of the main plot more consistent. So, even though I enjoyed learning about the characters pasts and the reasons they ended up in the gang, I would have preferred more focus on the heist itself. The second thing is the beginning. It was unnecessary and pointless. Why make us invested in Joost and Anya just to basically never mention them again? I get the point of showing what the drug could do, but there must have been a better way to do it. The third thing is related to the Fjerdans and primarily their language. The Fjerdan’s are, according to what I’ve read from interviews with Leigh Bardugo, heavily influenced by Scandinavia, and more specifically Sweden and Norway. As a swede, I can totally see that, and I knew that it is a fictional language and that my own language has been used as inspiration. But I couldn’t help feel a bit thrown off when there was suddenly words that I knew from my own language being used when there was so many other words used that didn’t fit at all with the way we’d use those words. It’s hard to explain, and truly it doesn’t really matter since it’s fiction and not real, but it was something that stood out to me, like a hiccup that broke the flow of my reading. I think it would have bothered me less if the Fjerdans had actually spoken any of the Scandinavian languages, or at least had a more reasonable structure to their sentences and words that would have fit well with the use of actual words from our language. And in this same line are the names of the Fjerdan Drüskelle. There were typical Scandinavian names at a lot of the times, but then there were these names that stood out and didn’t fit in with the rest we’d been told. But, I’m not going to let any of this affect the rating since this is just a personal thing that most likely wouldn’t bothered anyone else, and if does not in any way affect the intensity and greatness of the story. So, overall, this book will get a solid 4/5 stars from me, and I can’t wait to dig into the sequel. I can also highly recommend this book to basically everyone, it’s a great read and the way Leigh Bardugo handled all six POVs is reason enough for every author to pick up this book.

SIX OF CROWS: My favorite book of 2015
Format: Hardcover
REVIEW: Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo Published September 29th, 2015 by Henry Holt and Co. Genres: Young Adult, Fantasy Edition: Hardcover Source: Purchased Pages: 465 Rating: 5/5 stars Ketterdam: a bustling hub of international trade where anything can be had for the right price–and no one knows that better than criminal prodigy Kaz Brekker. Kaz is offered a chance at a deadly heist that could make him rich beyond his wildest dreams. But he can’t pull it off alone… A convict with a thirst for revenge. A sharpshooter who can’t walk away from a wager. A runaway with a privileged past. A spy known as the Wraith. A Heartrender using her magic to survive the slums. A thief with a gift for unlikely escapes. Six dangerous outcasts. One impossible heist. Kaz’s crew is the only thing that might stand between the world and destruction–if they don’t kill each other first. From the moment I heard the description of this book, I was intrigued. A band of thieves attempting to pull off a huge heist? Sign me up! I was counting down the days till it released. I had such high expectations for this book. And believe me, they were met. I couldn’t put this book down. I loved every minute of it. Now, it is one of my favorite books of all time, and I’ve read a lot of books. I titled this “review”. In a review, you usually find criticism of the book. But since I loved this book, it’ll mostly be me gushing about all my thoughts. I just want to run up to people, shove this book in their face, scream “READ IT”, and then go and reread it by myself. the plot It was so interesting! I loved the whole heist. Something was always happening, and it was always interesting. It kept me surprised: PLOT TWISTS! the characters The characters were probably my favorite part of this book. We meet six that, by the end of the book, I had come to love. They’re all so unique. I loved reading from each perspective, that way I got to know the characters a lot better. “No mourners. No funerals. Among them, it passed for “good luck.” Kaz- The leader. “Greed is your god, Kaz.” He almost laughed at that. “No, Inej. Greed bows to me. It is my servant and my lever.” “A liar, a thief, and utterly without conscience. But he’ll keep to any deal you strike with him.” Nina- She’s so brave, snarky, funny, and just an amazing strong female character. I loved that we had a Grisha in the group. Inej-MY FAVORITE. She’s an ex-circus performer who now is a spy known as The Wraith. She struggled between her dedication to the gang and her desire to see her family again. “Besides, she was the Wraith-the only law that applied to her was gravity, and some days she defied that, too.” Jesper- the sharpshooter, who added so much to the story. The chapter told from his point of view are really great, because you see the other characters how he does, and I think he sees them how they truly are. “Take good care of my babies,” Jesper said as he handed [his guns] over to Dirix. “If I see a single scratch or nick on those, I’ll spell forgive me on your chest in bullet holes.” Wylan- He was this adorable, innocent, little boy at first. But his character changed/revealed as the story went along, and I LOVED it. I wished we could have gotten chapters from his POV, but Leigh said there will be in the 2nd! “Always hit where the mark isn’t looking.” “Who’s Mark?” Asked Wylan. Matthias- I loved how he struggled with loyalty to his country and his love for Nina, and I also loved seeing the backstory of how him and Nina met. “And what did you do, Matthias? What did you do to me in your dreams?” “Everything,” he said, as he turned to go. “Everything.” the romance! I loved how the story was not overpowered by the romances in this book. It was a side plot that made the story more interesting. It wasn’t as prominent as the action part, but it was there. And it was amazing. I won’t spoil anything, but let me just say, I have 3 new OTPs just from this book. the setting In Bardugo’s previous trilogy, which I loved, we get to know the world a little, but it’s mostly set in Ravka, one country. Six of Crows was in a different country in this world, Kerch, and the group travels to a new country, Fjerda. I loved getting to know this world better. Also, the characters are from different countries so we get to know their view on their country and the others. the writing Her writing, like always, was incredible. It flowed beautifully. Some people have said it starts out slow, but once you pass the first 100 pages, things start picking up and getting really interesting. (I was interested the whole time, of course. I loved it from the very beginning.) But if you’re not enjoying it as much, I’m begging you. Keep trying. It’s SO worth it. There’s so many amazing quotes! I literally have notes and notes full of them. This book is funny! It made me laugh out loud a lot (and I was in public, so people stared at me.) “Jesper knocked his head against the hull and cast his eyes heavenward. “Fine. But if Pekka Rollins kills us all, I’m going to get Wylan’s ghost to teach my ghost how to play the flute just so that I can annoy the hell out of your ghost. Brekker’s lips quicker. “I’ll just hire Matthias’ ghost to kick your ghost’s ass.” “My ghost won’t associate with your ghost,” Matthias said primly, and then wondered if the sea air was rotting his brain.” This book is so gorgeous! The cover is beautiful, but my absolute FAVORITE thing about it has to be the black edged pages. And the maps!! There’s two beautiful maps. TWO! what I didn’t like I honestly can’t think of anything I didn’t like in this book. I tried to come up with something, but I loved it too much. I highly, HIGHLY recommend you check this book out. It brings all the feels. I need the second book, Crooked Kingdom, NOW. Also, if you haven’t read Bardugo’s Grisha Trilogy, you should. A lot of people have asked me, “Do I have to read the Grisha Trilogy before Six of Crows?” My answer has been: No, you don’t have to. Of course I would recommend that you do, as it is one of my favorite trilogies. If you don’t, you might be a little lost in the world, and there are some characters mentioned in here from that trilogy that you wouldn’t understand, but you could understand the story. There are minor spoilers of the end of Ruin and Rising in Six of Crows, but there is also some misleading. If you read the Grisha trilogy, you learn more about Ravka, where Nina is from, which helps you understand her better. Plus, it’s just an amazing trilogy. You SHOULD. But no, you do not have to. Okay, I’ll just conclude my ramblings now. Go read this book, please. This review took so long to write, because I had so many good things to say, and I reread Six of Crows while writing it.
