The Rivian x iKamper Skycamp Mini is more than just a tent—it's a travel philosophy in a black shell. Made for Rivian, but ready for anyone who takes camping seriously and comfortably.

 

When an electric pickup truck that goes almost anywhere joins forces with a Korean specialist in innovative rooftop tents, something special happens: the Rivian x iKamper Skycamp Mini – a two-room, year-round rooftop tent that you can easily lift off the ground and still sleep like you're in a glamping tent.

Designed for Rivian models R1T and R1S, but in fact compatible with almost any vehicle with roof racks, the Skycamp Mini is the most practical luxury you can put on your roof. Small in name, big in comfort, easy to use, aesthetically pleasing and technically brilliant.

Small but mighty – designed with aerodynamics and electric range in mind

Rivian x iCamper The Skycamp Mini, a collaboration between Rivian and iKamper, weighs just 137 lbs (61.8 kg), meaning it has virtually no impact on the electric vehicle's range. Its black, aerodynamic hard shell is not only stylish, but also scratch and weather resistant—and, hands down, it looks great on top of any SUV.

The tent fabric is made from PFAS-free polycotton fabric – meaning it’s free of harmful chemicals and completely breathable. It includes a removable fly, larger panoramic windows and plenty of light. It’s a truly all-season tent, ready for snow, rain, heat and everything in between.

Ultimate comfort for two people – without compromise

The interior of the Rivian x iKamper Skycamp Mini is equipped with iKamper's luxurious self-inflating mattress - a combination of foam and air allows for excellent insulation and breathability, which means a warmer sleep in the winter and a more comfortable rest in the summer. Dimensionally, the space is designed for two adults, without feeling cramped.

Access is provided by a telescopic aluminum ladder that folds elegantly into a shell when the tent is not in use. Pitching the tent? iKamper says – one minute. And given their history of innovation, we believe them.

The mounting system includes locking brackets that are compatible with Rivian's Adventure Key Set (available separately), which means greater security and stability even on challenging terrain.

Ready for any adventure – no matter the weather or season

The Rivian x iKamper Skycamp Mini isn’t just an accessory, it’s part of your travel gear. You set it up once and forget it’s there—until nightfall comes and you can unfold it into a real bedroom under the stars in minutes. Even if you have a non-Rivian vehicle, it can easily be mounted on most vehicles with racks (including short bed and cabs).

iKamper has hand-crafted the tent – which means attention to detail and quality that lasts. It's not an industrial product, but equipment that feels like it was made especially for you.

Conclusion: The price is not low, but the comfort is unbeatable

The Rivian x iKamper Skycamp Mini is currently priced at $4,595 (approximately €4,220), and comes with a free outdoor stove - a nice addition for anyone who loves camping in style.

Compared to the competition (e.g. Roofnest Falcon 2, Thule Tepui Foothill), the Skycamp Mini stands out for its combination of low weight, superior workmanship, easy assembly and elegant design. Its biggest advantage is that it combines practicality with comfort - without compromise.
