Rivian x iKamper Skycamp Mini is all-season, two-person hardtop RTT for all your camping needs

It is difficult to keep iKamper out of the news these days. After surprising us with the Skycamp DLX, a four-person rooftop tent in black hardshell body with an inflatable mattress, and cork flooring; the engineering shop in South Korea has now teamed up with American electric vehicle manufacturer Rivian to create a smaller, thoughtfully designed, two-person tent that you’re going to love for its simplicity more than anything else.

Designed compatible with the Rivian R1T and the R1S models, the Rivian x iKamper Skycamp Mini is a nice blend of materials, fit, and performance that even non-Rivian users wouldn’t mind topping their EV with. Beyond the aesthetic component, what really sways the momentum in Skycamp Mini’s favor is its handmade material construct and the all-season comfort inside.

Designer: iKamper

When iKamper is involved, you can expect two things: a hardshell body in back finishes for a rugged appearance and to hide scratches, and a lightweight approach, to ensure the ultimate electrified camping experience without pulling back the vehicle’s range. The Rivian x iKamper Skycamp Mini sticks to the basics and extends out of its hardshell to create a tent made from breathable PFAS-free polycotton canvas with a removable fly and huge windows for airflow and views.

The RTT is really effortless to set up. If you believe the company, it only takes a minute for the entire thing to set up and be ready to host you. The tent has a sleek, aerodynamic design. It is lightweight measuring only 137 lbs (61.8 kg) and can be installed on a short-bed truck or a cab (the Skycamp Mini will fit on nearly any vehicle). Owing to its skimmed weight and aerodynamic hard shell, it has been tested to not hinder the range, which is pretty interesting, given that you can sleep in it around the year. So just mount it up once and forget about it.

And when you’re ready to hit the road: whether you’re going out on remote trails or a leisure weekend, the durable and sturdy tent will make a great getaway. For stability assurance, the Skycamp Mini secures with locking mounting brackets that are compatible with Rivian’s Adventure Key Set (sold separately). The tent comes with an integrated telescoping ladder (that hides inside when packed) to make climbing in and out easy for all types of campers. The inside is plush with an iKamper’s deluxe self-inflating mattress. Its half-foam and half-air construction ensures better heat retention and a comfortable night’s sleep for up to two persons. Rivian x iKamper Skycamp Mini is now available for preorder starting at $4,595. If you’re interested, it is a good time to invest. iKamper is providing a complementary outdoor cooking stove with the preordered units.
