Ikamper Skycamp 3.0 Mini vs Roofnest Condor Overland

[RunPoncho]

Hey I'm new to the RTT market and wondering if anyone has any advice/recommendations/personal experience with either the Skycamp 3.0 Mini or the Condor Overland RTT? I have a F-150 and I'd like to keep a low profile on the setup so I'm getting a below cab height rack and would like to keep the tent in the bed area so that's why I'm looking at these two tents. Any info or experience with these two tents would be appreciated. Thanks!

I ultimately went with the Condor for a few reasons
1: the mounting options- you can use m8 bolts or y nuts to mount lighter gear to the tent, my recovery boards fit perfectly
2:the crossbars- I can keep the tent on and still carry a surfboard or SUP or kayak with no issue as my roof rails line up neatly with the condor rails
3:the tent footprint- I had a 2 mini clone and found that it tapered at the feet so my wife and I could not fit two sleeping pads next to each other (foam is rock hard and cold in winter)

IKamper makes wonderful gear but ultimately for my use case the overland left me with great utility and comfort

One thing to note, since covid Roofnest has had several BBB complaints as well as a lot of noise on Reddit
I risked it and have no regrets

IKamper I saw recently at campers exhibition in my local city. I have to admit it worth its money. We are about to go for a trip and we are planning to rent or even buy a camper. IKamper is a considered choice.

I own an iKamper mini 2.0. So far it works great. Recently purchased a liner for the tent. Apparently, this liner will help in 30 degree or below weather. Also, the liner was only $200 bucks from iKamper.
Finally, plan on adding carpeted tile to the tent floor. It helps with my knees and absorbs some moisture - which needs to be completely dried at a later date.

I'm always interested in meeting new Overlanders. I live in Nashville, with my wife and we're both retired. Maybe we can share ideas??

Just a bit curious, why carpet instead of foam squares or a couple cheap yoga mats?
The former seems like a big opportunity for mold/mildew

I bought Ikamper 2.0 4 person off Craigslist and have no complaints yet. Take a look at Ikamper it is nice, pair that with moon shade and it just works. I put king air self inflate mattress’s so I could keep rumpl , pillow and double sleeping bag in it all the time. The reason I said no complaints yet as I use it I may find some negative (s) but I bought used and can resell and go with another option should I need to. All in all it is hard shell all the way for me and lots of room for my fur babies at sleep time

The tiles were free.

Hey HighVoltOverland,

Fellow R1Ter here. Do you mind sharing a picture of your setup (bed rack, the Condor Overland and how it lines up with the cross bars on both. Would really appreciate it!

Kind regards
H.
