'Skycamp' is a pop-up rooftop tent for cars that can be used to provide shelter for two adults and two children.
The car tent from iKamper takes the form of a hard-shell tent that can expand to provide the necessary amount of sleeping space, which makes it ideal for group and family camping trips of all sizes. Plus, setting up the tent is said to be a quick task that takes no more than a minute. Like other hard-top storage cases that can be mounted on top of a vehicle, the Skycamp boasts an aerodynamic design to improve fuel efficiency.
Best of all, the Skycamp features a signature 'Skyview' panel that makes it possible to gaze up at the stars in the night sky from the safe and secure enclosure.
