indeed the best review of this product. your slow, steady narration, not trying to be cool with camera moves or effects, ridiculous jokes, no uninspiring allusions to lifestyle, no cheap tricks to make you seem more interesting -- just keeping it to what matters. thank you. i am way closer to purchasing this one despite having wanted the bdv for both size and lower cost, after seeing your video. all my best!

Thanks for the terrific review. My new Mini 3.0 is on order. I just have to say, your speaking skills combined with your calm steady voice is remarkable. I could imagine you narrating one of those nature documentaries or reading a Christmas story to children. Safe travels and all the best.

I too love my Ikamper mini 3.0 on my Gladiator. On cold nights, I run a 12 volt heated blanket on top of a exped duo air mattress sandwiched between two full sized fleece blankets and a 10’x10’ folded fleece top cover blanket at temps well below 30 degrees and it’s extremely warm while wearing simple light PJ’s, hint😉

@BestLifeAdventureChannel 7 ай бұрын

Thank you for that! We, too, have been using an electric blanket instead of a heater but we've not been in the super cold weather yet. We'll have to keep that in mind. Thanks for sharing! 👍❤

Thank you! If you have any questions about the tent, just let us know. By the way, we lost this tent when this Jeep was totalled recently. So we are going to be buying a new one soon. After doing all of our comparison shopping again, we are leaning towards the Skycamp 3.0 mini. 👍💪

Great video and like the way the JLU is setup. Have been eyeing the Frontrunner roof rack and different tent options. What coils are you running with this setup? I am trying to figure out if I need to go with Claytons HD coils or AEV HD coils. Currently have a BDS 4.5" lift and the coils are pretty soft and sag bad with all our camping gear.

@BestLifeAdventureChannel 6 ай бұрын

I'm not sure that I remember what coils those are. They were part of the 3.5 inch Fox suspension lift kit. Admittedly, once we got everything loaded, the rear coils were not enough. We had some sag going on back there so we'll be looking to do something different in the future. But aside from that, we've loved the look and feel of that lift kit. Thanks for reaching out! 👍😀

Thank you for the thorough video! Question: When you had a cold night and closed up all the windows without venting, how much condensation was inside?

@BestLifeAdventureChannel 7 ай бұрын

We expected condensation to be more of an issue than it was. We had some but it was minimal. Using an electric blanket instead of a heater seems to help keep that down and we have a dehumidifier that we are yet to use but have for when we see condensation becoming an issue. 👍😀

@gburlin 7 ай бұрын

In my application, I vent both side windows 2” which will accommodate 2 people with enough ventilation using a heating blanket. I also used 2’x2’ carpet peal stick tiles and covered the floor and laid reflectix over that and used 3m adhesive in spray can to glue down. This process keeps the heat inside the tent, which helped tremendously!

@BestLifeAdventureChannel 7 ай бұрын

@@gburlin oh I like the carpet tile idea. Thanks for that tip and thanks for commenting.

@gburlin 7 ай бұрын

After laying, and gluing down, the refletix, trim 1/2’ border gap all the way around exposing the carpet edge. This will allow the carpet underneath to be able to breathe preventing moisture to develop and not create mold😬

Correction, 1/2” border 😅

Im sold! What air mattress did you buy?

@BestLifeAdventureChannel 3 ай бұрын

We chose the HEST Air Matress ... in our opinion, the best on the market today. Here's a link alnk.to/cSGutPC 😀👍

@JamesReedy Ай бұрын

You ran the iKamper air mattress over the top of the foam one? If so did you just fold them both up when you tore down?

@BestLifeAdventureChannel Ай бұрын

We opted to remove the iKamper mattresses and, instead, use the mattresses from Hest alnk.to/cSGutPC. This is a larger mattress that has to be removed before you close the tent but, for us, it’s worth it. 👍😃

@JamesReedy Ай бұрын

@@BestLifeAdventureChannelahh I thought maybe you bought their upgrade self inflating mattress. I bought that mattress but haven’t bought the camper yet. Keep waffling on mail ordering it Vs getting it B&M. I bought a Roam tent and it got damaged in shipping. Had a bad CS experience around that and inquired with iKamper who said if your tent gets a little damage they give you a discount. Sorry for ~$4000 for a tent it had better be perfect.

@BestLifeAdventureChannel Ай бұрын

Completely agree! Before we went to the Hest, we had some self inflating mattresses and they started out good but after a few months were not that great. We’ve slept on the Hest mattresses probably 30 nights now and noticed no change in the bed. It’s exactly the same now as it was in night 1 so we’re hopeful that these will work well for us for a good long time.

Could an adult and 2 small kids fit in this tent?

Probably. The bed is roughly the size of a full sized bed. 👍😃

That shot is from the entrance back onto the Transamerica Trail just west of Moab. The entrance is SW of the entrance for Arches National Park. It's in the area of 38.62519, -109.66603. If you like that shot, then you'll love the Transamerica Trail series. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/laqKp6mbsM_Lgmg.htmlsi=-qbfw00PG0rRjEGO We just posted episode 5 this weekend.
