With different sizes and models of iKamper roof top tents to choose from, choosing which tent is right for you can require a lot of research and time spent navigating different pages of our website. To make things easier for you, we've organized the information about each iKamper roof top tent to create The Ultimate Buyer's Guide! We encourage you to read about each tent so that you can choose the best one for you and your camping needs.
If you're looking to buy your first roof top tent or are wanting an upgrade from your current roof top tent, we're here to assist you pre-purchase and post-purchase. iKamper has tent options to help you begin your adventures in nature conveniently and comfortably whether you are looking to camp solo, with a loved one, or even with your family.
Each iKamper roof top tent mounts to your vehicle via crossbars or a roof rack, depending on your particular setup. Each tent comes with mounting brackets to secure the tent to your vehicle, with the option to add locks to keep these brackets protected. Make sure you know the dimensions of your crossbars or roof rack to ensure compatibility with the mounting brackets. In addition, the hardshell iKamper roof top tents (Skycamp, Skycamp 2X, and Skycamp Mini) also come with locking latches for an added layer of security.
Our hardshell roof top tents come in three colors: Black, White, and Rocky Black. While the Black and White hardshells have a glossy look, the Rocky Black is a tough, scratch-resistant, matte black finish. This hardshell finish is ideal for off-roading and overlanding, or for those who just prefer a more subdued look for their roof top tent's hardshell. Please note that not all tent models offer these particular colors due to stock availability, so double check hardshell color options on the product page for the latest updates. If you still have questions, please reach out to our support team.
You will get efficient and thoughtful service from Sunday Campers.
Model Name: Skycamp 2.0
Tent Type: Hardshell
Capacity: Up to 4 people
Colors: Black, Rocky Black, White
Dimensions: 85.4 x 90.5 x 48.4&#; / 217 x 230 x 123 cm (OPEN), 85.4 x 54.7 x 12.8&#; / 217 x 139 x 32.5 cm (CLOSED)
Weight: 160 pounds / 73 kilograms
Winner of the Red Dot Design Award
The Skycamp 2.0 was released in as a new, upgraded version of the original Skycamp, which first made a debut in as a Kickstarter project. The first edition Skycamp became the most successful tent in crowdfunding history and raised $2.3 million in backing funds. It remains one of the most preeminent roof top tents on the market thanks to its innovative design and engineering.
Aerodynamic and lightweight, the Skycamp 2.0 sets up in just 60 seconds, allowing for the quickest and most convenient roof top tent experience. The Skycamp 2.0 is also expandable thanks to its fold-out panel, providing a sleeping space equivalent to that of a king size bed (80 x 77.5 x 1.6" / 203 x 197 x 4 cm) to accommodate up to four people. The panel is supported by the telescopic ladder when in use, and folds back up to be stored inside when not in use.
Model Name: Skycamp 2X
Tent Type: Hardshell
Capacity: 2 people
Colors: Black, Rocky Black, White
Dimensions: 85.4 x 58.6 x 48.4&#; / 217 x 149 x 123 cm (OPEN), 85.4 x 54.7 x 12.8" / 217 x 139 x 32.5 cm (CLOSED)
Weight: 120 pounds / 55 kilograms
The Skycamp 2X was released in as the two-person version of the Skycamp. This hardshell tent also sets up in just 60 seconds! In , a new, improved version was released alongside the Skycamp 2.0 with many of the same added features. The main difference is that the Skycamp 2X lacks the fold-out panel of the Skycamp 2.0, which means that it functions similarly to traditional clamshell roof top tents. Because the Skycamp 2X lacks the fold-out panel that the Skycamp 2.0 has, there is more room inside the tent for storage when the hardshell is closed. No panel also provides the Skycamp 2X with the added benefits of being more wind resistant, allowing the ladder to be stored inside the tent while you're sleeping, and having a thicker mattress (1.8" / 4.5 cm).
Model Name: X-Cover
Tent Type: Hybrid (Coverless)
Capacity: Up to 4 People
Color: Silver (Top Panel)
Dimensions: 76.3 x 93.7 x 48.4&#; / 194 x 238 x 123 cm (OPEN), 76.3 x 46.8 x 13.5&#; / 194 x 119 x 34.5 cm (CLOSED)
Weight: 120 pounds / 55 kilograms
Winner of the Red Dot Design Award Honourable Mention
Patented Design
The X-Cover joined the iKamper collection in and is a time-saving hybrid of a hardshell and a softshell roof top tent. Because it is coverless, the X-Cover is the only iKamper roof top tent that has crossbars, allowing you to mount your favorite gear while saving space in your vehicle. This lack of a cover or hardshell gives the X-Cover a double Skyview and four large windows, allowing you to really take in the beauty of your surroundings. Roughly equivalent to a California king size mattress at 89.3 x 68.9 x 2.3&#; / 227 x 175 x 6 cm, the X-Cover also features the largest and thickest mattress of all iKamper tents.
Model Name: Skycamp Mini
Tent Type: Hardshell
Capacity: 2 People
Colors: Black, Rocky Black
Dimensions: 57.2 x 89 x 48.4&#; / 145.5 x 226 x 123 cm (OPEN), 57.2 x 54.7 x 12.8&#; / 145.5 x 139 x 32.5 cm (CLOSED)
Weight: 125 pounds / 57 kilograms
Winner of the Red Dot Design Award
Versatility and convenience in compact form: the Skycamp Mini is the latest addition to the iKamper collection. It was first revealed at Overland Expo in May and subsequently released in early . As the latest iKamper hardshell roof top tent, it can also be set up in only 60 seconds. Similar to the Skycamp 2X, the Skycamp Mini is a two-person version of the Skycamp 2.0. However, the key difference is that the Skycamp Mini features the fold-out panel that the original has; this allows the Skycamp Mini to have a much smaller footprint, making it ideal to be mounted on smaller vehicles, truck beds, truck cabs, and for saving rack space.

Are roof top tents worth it?
The answer to this question depends on one's preferred camping style and needs. For some people, a small, inexpensive ground tent can provide a great camping experience. These campers are less concerned with comfort, so disadvantages such as the longer setup time, ground surface and temperature, and increased exposure to insects, animals, wind, and rain are not barriers for them.
At the same time, some individuals prefer a camping experience with more speed, comfort, and convenience that roof top tents afford. Quick setup, decreased exposure to insects and animals, increased protection from the elements, comfort of a large mattress, durability, and the benefit of being above the ground are all advantages provided by a roof top tent.
Roof top tents, however, are not without their own disadvantages: higher cost, added weight, and impact on fuel economy are things to take into account when considering to buy one. While the verdict is ultimately up to the individual, the majority of iKamper roof top tent owners will unequivocally tell you that they are worth it.
Are roof top tents safe from bears?
Roof top tents were invented to keep occupants safe from predators while overlanding in areas like Australia and Africa. In this way, they do provide more protection than a ground tent as they are higher out of reach, but they are not bear proof. Bears are excellent climbers and will not have an issue getting on top of your vehicle if they smell food. Simply put, if a curious, hungry bear wants to get into a tent, it can and will. The only way to mitigate this issue is to prevent a bear from being attracted to the scent of your camp by storing food properly. Please visit this website for specific tips on this.
Are roof top tents waterproof?
In contrast with ground tents, roof top tents are made of thicker fabric and have rainflies for added protection against precipitation. The canvas on iKamper roof top tents is made of 300gsm super density poly cotton canvas, which is water resistant, breathable, insulating, UV resistant, and built to last. This material prevents you from getting too hot on a warm day and too cold when it's chilly out. Although it's heavier than traditional tent fabric, it is quieter thanks to its weight and insulation properties. The polycotton canvas is water resistant, but one should make sure to dry out the material before closing the hardshell. Each iKamper roof top tent also comes with a detachable waterproof rainfly. To read more specific fabric care information, including weathering instructions, visit this page.
Are roof top tents warm?
The first advantage of a roof top tent in cold weather is its location above the ground. As described above, the thicker canvas used on iKamper roof top tents helps retain warmth in comparison with the thinner canvas materials. Finally, there's always the Insulation Tent made just for cold weather camping to help keep you cozy and warm (see above for full description). In any case, make sure you have a properly rated sleeping bag if you plan on camping in icy conditions.

The Ultimate Rooftop Tent Buyer's Guide
A Comprehensive Guide to Choosing Your Rooftop Tent
Roof Top Tents (RTTs) have become increasingly popular among campers and outdoor enthusiasts in recent years. They offer a convenient and comfortable way to sleep while camping, without the need for traditional tents or RV's. If you're looking to buy a roof top tent, there are several important factors to consider before making your purchase. This guide will help you navigate the world of roof top tents and find the right one for you.
Vehicle: Roof top tents come in various sizes and weights,most of them can be used on a wider range of vehicles. Certain type of RTTs are specifically designed to fit specific vehicle models, just be aware of.
Size: RTTs come in different sizes, ranging from two-person tents to 5 Person RTT tents. Consider the number of people who will be using the tent and the amount of gear you'll need to store inside/outside. The more people you have, the larger the tent you'll need. Also, keep in mind that larger tents will take up more space on your roof and may affect the fuel efficiency of your vehicle.
Style&#;On the current market, there are two main types of roof top tents (RTTs) - soft top and hard shell. The soft top RTT can be 180 degree fold out with or without an attached annex. Hard shell RTTs come in three styles - fold out, clam shell, and pop up. Regardless of the price, the main differences between the styles are capacity and setup/take down time. The most popular style of hard shell RTT is the fold out style, which is compact in size but can accommodate more people. Among the fold out RTTs, aluminum models are more versatile as they can carry more gear like bikes, kayaks, and snowboards, and have a longer lifespan compared to ABS models. The Clam Shell RTT offers the quickest setup and take down time, but with limited space and a sleeping capacity of only 2 to 3 people. On the other hand, the Popup RTT provides 360 degree views and similar space as the Clam Shell RTT, but with improved height from end to end.
Weight: While the weight is an important factor, it's not the primary concern. Tents with a bit more weight tend to offer greater stability and durability. If the tent's weight is within the capacity of your vehicle, it will have minimal impact on fuel consumption. However, tents that are extremely light might be easy to transport but lack stability and insufficient insulation and protection, especially in inclement weather conditions like wind, rain, or cold. In these situations, adequate protection should be the top priority when making your selection.
Material:
When selecting a tent, the material of the tent shell is an important aspect to consider. ABS plastic, fiberglass, and aluminum are the commonly used options for tent shells. However, ABS plastic and fiberglass tend to have a shorter lifespan due to aging and can deteriorate over time. On the other hand, aluminum is known for its strength and durability but can be more expensive.
Regarding tent material, the two most prevalent choices are canvas and synthetic materials. Canvas tents are renowned for their toughness, insulation properties, and air flow, but they can be weighty and more costly, and they demand upkeep after camping in damp or humid environments since they consist of over 25% cotton. On the other hand, synthetic materials are lighter and more affordable, but is not provide adequate protection from the elements.
Frequence of setting up and taking down : It's important to take into account the type of camping you will be doing and the frequency of setting up and taking down the tent. For road trips that involve quick stops, a tent that is easy to set up and dismantle would be a better choice. In this case, a hardtop roof tent is the most suitable option. However, if you plan to camp at a site for more than three days, you have a wider range of options to choose from.
Service accessibility : When making a purchase, it is crucial to take into account the brand's reputation for customer service, particularly for mechanical products like roof tents. It is reassuring to know that the company in question has readily accessible customer service and that RTTs accessories can easily be purchased. Additionally, it is wise to consider the cost and timely availability of replacement parts in case of any damage or wear and tear over time.
Price: The cost of soft-top roof tents can vary from $800 to $2,300, while the price of hard-top roof tents ranges from $2,000 to $4,000. Many clients question the significant difference in price, despite the similar appearance of roof top tents.
However, I explain that opting for a low-priced option from overseas suppliers like Alibaba may result in an unreliable product with little to no support. The cost of raw materials for roof tents is comparable, but the key factor in determining which brand you want to buy from is the quality of service and timely delivery they offered. Some brands that take responsibility for their products and offer fair pricing are usually a better option, compared to those that charge high prices and place blame on the customer in case of any issues.
Why are Roof Top Tents (RTT) popping up all over campsites these days?
As you can tell from the number of roof top tent installs we&#;ve done in our two California shops lately, RTTs are rapidly gaining popularity. Here&#;s why.
Speed
. Quick set up and tear down- today's roof top tents are a snap to set up. You literally just unsnap the locks, and up pops your tent! All of our roof top tents include gas-strut assisted opening. So there is no heavy lifting or finicky set up. These roof top tents cannot wait to go camping- you just have to set them free!
Comfort.
Roof Top Tents come with a built-in mattress. Forget about rolling off of your 2 ft wide sleeping pad or cursing the low battery on your noisy air mattress pump. Our high quality roof top tents come standard with a cushy, wall-to-wall foam mattress.
Convenience.
Sleeping bags and bedding can be left inside the tent when you are packing up. This also frees up space inside your vehicle for other camping essentials or companions. The speedy set-up, built-in mattress and bedding storage space really come into play for long road trips or campers who like to move around a lot.
Elevation
. The view from the roof is both more private & less obstructed by ground brush, offering you an entirely new perspective while lounging in bed. Panoramic view from above? Heck yeah!
Security
. Sleeping off the ground offers peace of mind from critters, bugs, and all sorts of things that go bump or rustle in the night. You're also way less likely to find a rock or pokey stick on your roof than you are on the ground. Meaning you'll sleep better and wake up refreshed & ready to explore.
Style.
They're really cool. It feels like you're in a treehouse. Yes, it's stating the obvious, but being awesome and looking great is a big reason why you're seeing them at all the epic outdoor camping locations!
Can I test out a roof top tent to see what it feels like before I buy?
Yup! Please get in touch to make an appointment at one of our two California Showroom Locations, located in San Francisco and San Diego. You can climb up in our demo models and have a thorough discussion with our knowledgable staff about fitment to your vehicle and any other questions you have.
What is the best type of roof top tent- Hard shell or soft shell?
Hard shell all the way! (unless you have a small car)
Hard shell (or hard top) roof top tents are: more aerodynamic (fuel efficient) while driving;
much
faster to set up & to put away; quieter on windy days (less material flapping about); better insulated; and frankly better looking (in our opinion).
Soft shell roof top tents tend to have a smaller footprint when closed (making them great for small vehicles). But, if your vehicle can handle the size, we strongly recommend a hard shell roof top tent.
My roof rack says the load capacity is 200lbs, so... how can I sleep in the tent (which weighs 150lbs) on my car?
What, you weigh more than 50 lbs? And you want to use your tent for sleepovers? This is actually no problem. Roof rack manufacturers are referring to the &#;dynamic load capacity&#; in this case, which is the amount of weight the roof racks can safely withstand while driving the vehicle. When your car is parked and your roof top tent is open, the roof rack is not being subjected to abrupt changes in momentum caused by cornering, acceleration and breaking, so the &#;static load capacity&#; of rack systems comes in to play. The static load capacity is dramatically higher than the dynamic load capacity, since vehicles are engineered to withstand the weight of the vehicle itself, in case of a roll-over. For this reason, it&#;s totally encouraged to have sleepovers in your roof top tent, even if you weigh more than 50 lbs.
What you&#;ll want to watch out for as the limiting factor is that dynamic load capacity- the weight on your roof rack while you are driving. Be mindful that you mount your roof top tent on a heavy duty rack system- all the way from the crossbars to the feet of the rack. Otherwise you&#;re limited by the lowest capacity component in the system. And obviously, you should never be in a roof top tent while the vehicle is in motion, as this would exceed the dynamic load capacity.
Contact us to discuss your requirements of Roof Top Tent Off-Road wholesaler. Our experienced sales team can help you identify the options that best suit your needs.
If you need help getting an appropriate roof rack and installing a roof top tent in California, please get in touch. We can help you assess the rack racks you currently have in place, or get you set up with a rack system if you don't already have one. Rhino Adventure Gear is an authorized Rhino-Rack dealer, and we also carry other rack systems that are popular with the off road community.
What is the best Roof Top Tent for sale?
Good question. We firmly believe in only selling the best of the best. This applies not only to roof top tents, but to all our overlanding and backcountry camping equipment. As outdoor lifestyle and roof top campers have exploded in popularity, so too have the number of companies manufacturing roof rack tents. We&#;ve been approached by numerous manufacturers asking us to carry their brands. But Rhino Adventure Gear is a family-owned, local California overlanding shop, not an online megastore looking to profit off a trend. We care about our customers&#; long-term satisfaction and want to be confident about every tent we sell, so we are extraordinarily selective about the roof top tents we offer for sale. If you see a tent on our site, you can be sure we&#;ve vetted it thoroughly, used it ourselves, and have demo units on hand in our two California Showroom Locations for you and the family to come test out.
Most of our customers come to our site specifically to buy a James Baroud, iKamper, or Camp King roof top tent. They've done their research and they're asking for a specific RTT by name. If this sounds like you please head on over to our Roof Top Tent shopping page, and select the tent you&#;re looking to buy. If you are just beginning your roof top tent buying journey, and want to do more research first, please read on to get caught up on the best roof top tents on the market.
iKamper Roof Top Tents made a big splash with their historic Kickstarter campaign, which raised over $2.3 million. The brainchild of a father who was frustrated with cramped camping solutions for his family, the iKamper Skycamp was specifically designed with family camping in mind. After 20 iterations and design tweaks over years of development, the Skycamp was born. The folding mechanism of the floor is unique to hard shell roof top tents, in that it is the only hard shell roof top tent on the market where the footprint of the tent extends beyond the roofline of the vehicle.
Enlarging the sleeping area of a hard shell roof top tent to accommodate a king size bed required extensive engineering and use of cutting edge materials, like the aluminum honeycomb flooring that enables the platform of the tent to overhang the vehicle.
King Size bed can sleeps 4 people (2 adults & 2 kids; or 3 adults)
Hard Shell Tent with Skylight window
Many modular accessories (annex room, awning, storage shelves)
James Baroud tents have withstood the test of time and come with all the bells and whistles included. These luxury touches enhance the comfort and ensure the longevity of the tent:
Ultra thick, moisture-resistant foam mattress
Solar powered, reversible ventilation fan
Bright, removable LED flashlight
Mosquito-proof screened windows & doors
Storage pockets
Market-leading 5-year warranty
Available in hundreds of colors (New as of !)
The James Baroud roof top tent lineup includes 3 body styles- clamshell, extended clam shell, and full opening / flat top. Each of these are then available in standard or XXL size, and with or without an integrated storage tray on the exterior of the tent. The naming conventions can get a little bit confusing, so be sure to scroll through the photos on our Rhino Adventure Gear product pages where you&#;ll find a helpful model comparison chart, as well as dimensional information and feature summaries of each type of James Baroud Roof Top Tent.
Another huge selling point of the Baroud RTTs is the sweet line up of cleverly engineered awnings and accessories. For example, the new James Baroud Tunnel Awning, allows you to climb through the roof of the awning directly into your roof top tent via an enclosed tunnel as you ascend the ladder. Combine the Tunnel Awning with a 3-wall Awning Enclosure/Annex Room, and you get two separate but connected sleeping spaces (your RTT and the annex room on the ground).
The distinguishing feature of the Camp King RTT is its aluminum shell construction. A 2 mm thick, powder coated aluminum shell makes the Camp King RTT strong enough to support its own rack system and carry a gear load on top of the tent. Whether it&#;s a set of MAXTRAX, mountain bikes or surfboards, you can mount it on top of the Camp King RTT.
The most comparable roof top tent to the Camp King is the Alucab, which also has an aluminum shell. However, we sell Camp King RTT over the Alucab, because we believe the build quality is superior. Camp King Industries uses only premium Australian materials in their RTTs. The best way to appreciate the significance of quality materials is to make an appointment at a Rhino Adventure Gear Showroom and spend some time opening and closing tents, laying on the mattresses and operating the zippers. Below are some additional details on the Camp King Roof Top Tent features:
Strong aluminum shell
Breathable natural fabrics
Eco-friendly foam mattress
Ultra high quality seals
Heavy duty struts for easy, assisted opening
How do you install a roof top tent? What type of roof rack is required?
Unfortunately there isn&#;t a simple, &#;one size fits all&#; answer to this question. It really depends on the type of vehicle you have, the type of tent you get, whether you have factory roof rails pre-installed or not, and what mounting configuration you&#;re looking for.
Some types of vehicles have tons of compatible aftermarket roof rack options; others not so much. Sometimes roof rack installation requires precisely drilling into the roof of the vehicle; other times it&#;s pretty simple.
If you&#;re in California and looking to get set up with a roof top tent but aren&#;t sure what rack system you need, fill out this form or get in touch to chat with our roof top tent installation teams in San Francisco or San Diego. They&#;ll gather information about your vehicle, and discuss options for how we can help get you set up.
How long will it take for the Roof Top Tent I bought to be installed?
We always do our best to give you an accurate estimate at the time of purchase, or when we send out a quote for a custom build project. If we have inventory of the specific roof top tent and roof rack you need, we can usually schedule you in for an install within a week or two, depending on how busy we are at the shop. Other times we have to wait for an incoming shipment of tents to arrive, and it&#;ll take longer.
If you have an upcoming trip planned, be sure to complete your order well in advance to give us enough lead time to acquire any backordered parts. Usually purchasing your gear 4 to 6 weeks before a trip is sufficient, but the more lead time the better. Again, we&#;ll give you an estimate specific to your order when you buy your equipment.
Even a basic roof top tent installation often requires coordinating multiple vehicle-specific parts- roof rack crossbars, feet, bracketry etc., and if just one of these is out of stock, we&#;re dependent on the manufacturer&#;s supply line and shipping times to get it in hand before we can complete the install. Manufacturers across the overlanding industry are struggling to keep up with rising demand and tariffs on raw materials, so we often experience backorder queues in the 4 - 10 week range if we have to custom order something for your build. We appreciate your understanding that there is a difference between sourcing quality overlanding products from around the world and buying diapers that you can have delivered within 2 hours from Amazon.
Will a Roof Top Tent fit in my garage?
Well, it depends on the height of your garage, your vehicle, and the profile/height of the roof rack you use to attach the tent. Some measuring tape and a careful look at roof top tent and roof rack dimension charts are probably your best bet to get an accurate answer this question.
If you have a large or lifted vehicle and a low clearance garage, but really want to keep your tent in the garage, you could consider mounting the tent to an off road trailer with an overhead rack system instead. This has the advantage of keeping the roof of your vehicle free for other cargo such as surfboards, kayaks or mountain bikes, and it means you can easily detach your camping equipment from your vehicle.
Still have more questions about Roof Top Tents?
Browse our selection of Roof Top Tents and scroll through some images to get a sense of what it would look like on your vehicle. Don't be shy about giving us a call if you have a question specific to your vehicle that wasn't addressed above!
Most likely the one you have now! Most vehicles have the capacity to carry a roof top tent, you must check your vehicle's dynamic roof capacity. This is the most important number as it indicates
how much weight your vehicle can safely carry while driving.
The different models of roof top tents that we carry vary in weight &#; this means that if you have a smaller
vehicle with a lower dynamic weight rating, you will likely want to look at the lighter models &#; &#;The&#; Softshell or the Sky Loft.
After finding the right tent for your needs and vehicle, you will need to ensure your vehicle can support an appropriate roof rack system &#; you need to have cross rails to mount the tent to, and the same weight rule applies. The cross rails must have the dynamic capacity to carry at least the weight of the tent. This is especially important to keep in mind if you want to add accessories to your tent or rack.
