Outside of riding motorcycles, I love heading out of the city, pointing my decked out Toyota Hilux somewhere remote, and just figuring it out from there. I’ve got an awning setup, recovery gear, and enough camping kit to get by. So yeah, you could say that I'm kind of an overland dude in my free time.
Sure, my setup works, but it’s still very much a ground tent life. Uneven terrain, rocks under your back, and packing everything up and stuffing it all in the bed of my truck. That’s why what iKamper just rolled out has me seriously rethinking my setup. The Skycamp 4.0 is their latest rooftop tent, and it looks like the kind of upgrade that instantly changes how you camp.
The concept is simple. It mounts to the roof rack on your UTV, pickup truck, or SUV, and just stays there like a cargo box. When you get to camp, you undo a couple latches, flip it open, and you’re basically done. Setup takes about a minute, maybe less if you’ve done it a few times. No poles, no stakes, no guesswork. You go from driving to lounging around in record time.
