iKamper Skycamp 4.0 Duo vs iKamper Skycamp 4.0 Trio
Both of these are iKamper tents, so the question is not which brand to trust but which size and configuration suits your vehicle and how you camp. The Skycamp 4.0 Duo and the Skycamp 4.0 Trio share iKamper's construction and warranty; where they part company is in the numbers below.
On weight they are effectively level — 59 kg against 60 kg — so the roof load question resolves the same way for both. Inside, the Skycamp 4.0 Trio gives 3.59 m² of sleeping floor against 3.21 m², about 12 percent more, and it sleeps 3 to the Skycamp 4.0 Duo's 2. The Skycamp 4.0 Duo lists $250 lower, at $4,250 against $4,500.
iKamper
Skycamp 4.0 Duo
The narrowest tent in iKamper's 4.0 range, built for two. It keeps the 60-second fold-out mechanism and 118 cm standing height of its larger siblings on a 155 cm closed footprint, which is what makes it viable on smaller wagons and mid-size SUVs.
- Fits narrow roof racks at 155 cm closed
- 60-second setup
- Integrated dimmable LED lighting
- Costs more than wider tents from other brands
iKamper
Skycamp 4.0 Trio
The middle of the three Skycamp 4.0 sizes. An extra 18 cm of width over the Duo buys a third sleeping position for only 1 kg more, which makes it the most weight-efficient tent in iKamper's current range.
- Third sleeping spot for only 1 kg over the Duo
- 60-second setup
- Duct and electrical pass-throughs for a diesel heater
- Premium price
Which one to pick
Take the Skycamp 4.0 Trio if you need the sleeping room more than you need the lighter tent. Beyond that the feature rows below — heater port, skylight, annex, cargo rails — are where the remaining difference lies.
