Incredible video! Just purchased my Skycamp mini 3.0 and pick it up in a week. All these modifications are well thought out. Thank you for taking the time to make a video on these mods and for so nearly listing the links in the description. Will definitely buy from the links you provided. You deserve all the added revenue mate. Subscribed 🤙🏼
Thanks for great tips. The attachments/rings you used for your cargo net are actually for attaching the insulation tent, which in itself is a great piece of kit and definitely worth the money
Congratulations! Many many great nights ahead, you’ll love it! Make sure you check out my latest video, there’s 5 more tips in there too! Thanks for taking the time to comment 😊
The iKamper is the only RTT I’ve owned, but I’m incredibly happy with it. And I bought it new, so paid top whack, and would happily do it again if I could go back and had to make the decision again
Just bought a Skycamp 2.0, I love the suction cup anchors for the window fly. I was wondering how I could make that work and you’ve given me a great option.
Michael, I watched your video mentioning the Flextail pump. I had hoped that the Flextail pump fittings would snap/mate to the reversable valves of the comfort mattress. As it turns out neither the i Kamper air down pump nor the Flextail will do so. It is my hope that mentioning this on your site would be noticed by someone who could help me ease the process of airing up and down. There must be a better way than standing on a ladder and holding the pump in place for the duration of the task. Thanx Tom
@@Thomas-o2y7x unfortunately it sounds like you must have got different adaptors to me? Because one of the adaptors I have (a thin grey one), lets me clip the pump onto the valves and leave the pump hanging. So that’s what I do, so I can be doing something else for the few minutes it takes to inflate
Great video and tips. Question: how do you tighten the clamps around the front crossbar? The long tool they give you is too long to use due to the close proximity of the crossbar to the cab? Thanks
Great video. Do you have a video of the slides /frames your fridge is nestled into? Those look like they could be the simple modular solution I’m looking for!
Thanks for the lovely comment! I do indeed, it shouldn't be too far back onto my channel. I made them myself, but the video covers everything and how they're packed :)
Hi mate, My roller shutter is a MountainTop Roll, and that’s got the slots in to attach the rack too. Then the rack is Frontrunner, using LASS028 legs and then the frontrunner slats. It comes as a kit from Frontrunner. If you don’t have a roller shutter, there’s a different kit from Frontrunner, but I don’t know the specifics as it wasn’t relevant to me. Hope that helps 😊
Massive help, thanks. I’m trying to find some sort of bars so the tent box would sit flush with my cab roof - know of any U.K. suppliers? Also just bought most of the reviewed items, thanks for tips!
@@TheSampurkiss you can buy the frontrunner slats separately from most frontrunner dealers, Dara at Tuff Trek is very knowledgable, so might be worth an email to him 👍🏻
Awesome vid will definitely follow links to some mods. Question as to how u set the ladder up in this vid. My tent is setup same as yours on the tub of ute. I am unable to get the correct angle when they are locked in. I noticed you had one at the top half way not locked. When you climb up does it put pressure on the tent hinges or have you managed to lock it no halfway somehow Thanks
The halfway lock just seems to be how my ladder locks? I get your pain though, because it’s quite often the truck is either just too tall or just too short for the perfect ladder angle. So I always choose to go too tall, so that that’s no pressure on the hinge
You can essential calibrate what "level" means. I mounted the inclinometer, then levelled the tent / car the "old fashioned way" then calibrated the inclinometer to accept the value when the tent is level as zero. I can't remember the specific settings on how to do it, but it's all covered in the instructions :)
@@MichaelYardeThanks. I asked because I do not have anywhere in the car any flat surface so it will never show the correct value. Also, the back of the car is a bit higher to the front. Im asking for inclinometer to be used in general offroading to know how bad is your position or how far to the angle limit etc
@@marcing4287 Yeah, it could definitely do that. Mount it where you want it, park the car as flat as you can, then calibrate that as flat. Then that way, the inclinometer will show the relative angle
@@MichaelYarde thanks for the reply. I order my 3.0 skycamp on Mar 12 2025. The company that makes the roof rack couldn’t get it done when I needed it, so I’m waiting till spring. My first trip will be into the Owyhees in Oregon. Check out the video.
I just used some double sided carpet tape. I’ve seen some people use spray adhesive, but that sounded way too messy for my liking. This carpet tape has been solid as a rock and hasn’t budged at all, so if I was to do it again, I’d do it the same way, 100% 👍🏻
谢谢！
Thank you so much! 😃

That is so incredibly kind of you to say. Thank you so much! I wish you many many happy nights in your iKamper!

Great video. Thank you for taking the time to make it and share it with us.
Thanks for sharing - really great tips. Best wishes from Colorado.
Great stuff! The hacks are exactly what I needed as I put together my overland rig. Thanks and keep 'em coming!
Well done!
Great tips just purchased a new mini 3.0 well pleased with it! Thanks

Excellent video! Great tips!
Awesome tips, I will most likely be using a few of these.
Nice tips and tricks....im just looking to replace my Tentbox with the iKamper so this info is fantastic.

Thank you for sharing the link in the iKamper forum!
Love the tips! Awesome video and great work! Can’t wait to see more!
great video man
Great video and invaluable tips, thank you for sharing!
Super useful 👌 thanks for all the great tips!

Enjoy many happy nights out ahead! Glad I could help
Great ideas, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for these, spooky timing as I had four AirTags turn up today, two of which are for my iKamper being fitted next week 🙏
Great news, it's such a simple way to get some form of tracking into the tent. Definitely worth looking at the speaker mod
@@MichaelYarde removed the speakers when I buried some in my discovery and on my Thruxton - well worth the 2mins it takes to remove 🤓👍

great informational video mate
SUPER HELPFULL DUDE, Thank You.
Great tips! I plan on using every one. Except the shoe rack. Too pricey in the states. Thanks
Totally understandable. I was gutted when I couldn’t find an equivalent product for my American viewers 🥲
Awesome and my thanks for your tips.
This was awesome.
Great video!

@@1402702 I collected my RTT from iKamper UK HQ, and during the fitting process, they swapped the 3.0 clamps out to 2.0 clamps for this very reason
Great stuff!
very good tips
Thank you!

Hi mate, can you link or give me more info on the rear bed rack you have attached your tent box to? Thanks

Do you need to level inclinometer somehow ? I noticed that in your car is not in perfect angle of horizontal line.

Great tips. Do you have or getting the annex?
@@curtrobinson6883 we haven’t got the annex, but have the awning. I do plan to try and make a video about it, just life got very busy!

Hey mate, thanks for this. Can you please tell me, how's your carpet secured to the tent floor? Cheers

Any matters with the Matt er ess?
As in any downsides? The only real negative is cost. The official iKamper mattress is quite expensive, but it is excellent
👍
This is the 3.0 MINI right? Not the full 3.0?
Correct. iKamper Skycamp Mini 3.0
