I’ve been acquiring some new gear over the last couple of months and finally got the opportunity for an outing last week. Basic setup is an iKamper Skycamp mini 3.0 mounted on the bed rails. I added the iKamper awning to this setup…was skeptical that the R1T bed mount would be high enough to allow deployment of the iKamper awning…as you can see in the photos, it is doable but not ideal during a rain event due to negative pitch back towards the truck corners. For shade, it works great because the awning support poles are adjustable and you can raise them for added clearance. My setup in these photos is in the lowest pole setting with the truck in the highest setting. There was a significant rain event during the second night…RTT stayed cozy dry and awning shed water back towards the front and rear corners of the truck.
During one night, I coupled the Yakima Slim Shady with the awning. As you can see, it can work but there is some awkward overlap that you have to work around. I don’t think you can move the Slim Shady far enough forward to avoid the overlap.
I’m still tweaking my optimum setup but overall am impressed with the gear, accessories, and integration with the truck. Here are some photos stowed and deployed.
