How hard is it to unroll and roll cover ?

I have been reading a lot about the ikamper skycamp mini.
Anyone have any thoughts on it?
Looks perfect length for the gladiator bed.
(I have the 18" max modular rack)

Not that hard. I roll mine after sliding the cover to the front and it sits between the rack and cab. Can't roll as you go though.

I have the trail rail system that came with the LE. The rack is a precise fit. I have the 10" VooDoo rack.

Our SkyLux and SkyLux Bantam models are both available for purchase, with the larger SkyLux having an expanded bed size of 88" x 87" (King Size bed that could sleep up to 4 people!) and the Bantam having a bed size of 58" x 83". Both fold over to a 12" closed height and can hold most, if not all, of your sleeping gear inside. Built-in LED strips underneath the floor and inside the tent allow for easy campsite light at night, and a free included winter insulation kit makes it a great option for those pursuing winter camping. We also include an attachable awning kit with every purchase!

Happy to answer any questions you might have about the tent, and lots more detail is available on our website at www.torro-offroad.com

This looks great! It looks similar to other manufacturers though. Wish I could see one on a Gladiator.

I didn't know James Baroud made a soft shell RTT. Looks nice and low profile!

The JT looks tasty, too BTW. :like:

The quality of Eezi-Awn is tough to beat. I’ve also ran a lot of tents (ARB,CVT, Tepui, Roofnest, GoFSR, Eezi and probably a few others). I prefer the fold out style for a number of reasons but the hard shells seem to be the norm for now.

Eezi-Awn Series 3 1600 on an ARE shell. Also added a Rhino Dome Awning for the rear.

Yes, I think JB makes 2 softshell. I had one hard shell form JB I was very happy with it. That's why I went for a JB soft shell one, easier to install; it has a smaller footprint but a bit more painful to fold, and you can't leave your sleeping bag/pillows in it. Overall we don't use intensively, so it's a good trade-off.

Thanks!

No problem, I can make that happen! Here are two photos from one of our customers who is a Gladiator owner. He's going to be providing us with extra photos after an upcoming camping trip, so I can circle back with other angles when I get more imagery!

Happy to answer any questions.
