Once the hardshell is almost entirely closed, the straps can be tucked away inside, and the clips can be locked down.Īlthough there is no assembly process for the tent itself, installing it on your vehicle will require at least two adults, but preferably four. ![]() Next, you’ll collapse the ladder, fold up the extension panel, and then pull down the hardshell roof using the three attached straps (this may take just a bit of muscle, as the gas struts will provide resistance). You’ll essentially be reversing the setup steps, starting with stacking the half-mattresses on the far side of the tent, then removing the tension poles from the entryway and stashing them inside. Tear-down for the Skycamp will take just a few seconds more. We also loved that because the ladder on all iKamper models is attached to the extension panel, you should still be able to access the vehicle door underneath, unlike what you’ll find with most pop-up hardshell tents like the Rooftop Sparrow. Thanks to the integrated hardshell, the Skycamp scores high marks in the area of cover convenience since there is nothing to roll up and stow away. The final steps are to insert the tension poles for the awning over the entryway, slide the mattress over, then clip the corners of the awning/rainfly into place, and you’re good to go. Ideally, the ladder should be angled around 70°. You’ll then extend the ladder and pull it to the ground to unfold the tent’s extension panel the ladder will automatically lock in place, allowing you to climb up top. From there, the gas struts will then take over and extend the hardshell to its maximum height. The first step is to unlock and release the two clips on the passenger side, then give the roof a slight nudge upwards. The folks at iKamper even demonstrate this with their own timed YouTube video. Conversion time for the Skycamp 2.0 is a blistering 60 seconds and can easily be carried out by just one person. ![]()
