iKamper Skycamp 4.0 Quad 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 Quad and the Skycamp 4.0 Trio share iKamper's construction and warranty; where they part company is in the numbers below.
The Skycamp 4.0 Trio is 11 kg lighter at 60 kg against 71 kg, which on a factory roof rated for 68 to 75 kg is often the difference between a legal fit and a rack upgrade. Inside, the Skycamp 4.0 Quad gives 4.54 m² of sleeping floor against 3.59 m², about 26 percent more, and it sleeps 4 to the Skycamp 4.0 Trio's 3. The Skycamp 4.0 Trio lists $200 lower, at $4,500 against $4,700.
iKamper
Skycamp 4.0 Quad
iKamper's flagship, with a 215 x 211 cm sleeping platform. That is close to square, so occupants sleep across the vehicle rather than along it.
- 4.54 m² sleeping platform, near-square rather than long
- 122 cm interior height
- 60-second setup despite the size
- 71 kg exceeds many factory dynamic roof limits
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 Quad if you need the sleeping room more than you need the lighter tent. Take the Skycamp 4.0 Trio if your roof load limit is the binding constraint. Beyond that the feature rows below — heater port, skylight, annex, cargo rails — are where the remaining difference lies.
