Camping in the Vosges: Experiences with a Roof Tent
Camping allows you to escape from everyday life and establish a deeper connection with nature. A roof tent offers the possibility to sleep anywhere you like. These two campers have also dared to take the adventure and take you with them on their first trip with the roof tent.
It starts at an altitude of 1,500 meters in the Vosges, a low mountain range in France. They face the challenge and want to see what it feels like to sleep in nature under the stars. They realize that camping is often unpredictable and the weather can be very changeable.
Nevertheless, they made the best of their first night and report on their exciting experiences with the roof tent.

Setup of the Skycamp 3.0.
The roof tent is the iKamper Skycamp 3.0 from Campwerk. They have mounted this on their Škoda Enyaq Coupé.
The setup was quite simple, but it was recommended to do it together with a second person. The tent can be unfolded in just 60 seconds and offers space for up to four people. The construction seems stable and windproof, which is ideal for various terrain conditions. Dismantling was even easier than the setup.

Interior and equipment
Inside the roof tent, the two find a cozy interior. The mattress is thick and comfortable, and the lying surface is generously sized. The details in the tent are kept in shades of gray and black, with some rust-brown accents.
There is even a string of lights that creates a pleasant atmosphere. However, the interior is not completely insulated, so you have to prepare for colder nights and have enough warm accessories with you.
Tip! A heated blanket is the ideal companion in colder temperatures.
- Comfortable furnishings in the interior
- Thick and comfortable mattress
- Lounger with space for 4 people
- Details in shades of gray and black
- Fairy lights for maximum comfort

The first camping experiences summarized
After a first night in which it cooled down to below 10 degrees, the campers were able to summarize their first impressions.
Although the roof tent offers an elevated sleeping position and a great panoramic view, you have to be aware that it offers less space than a camper. The night was fresh, so you should wrap up warmly so you don’t get cold. A winter sleeping bag is also recommended.
Nevertheless, they emphasize that the Skycamp 3.0. in combination with an electric vehicle is a good combination for sustainable travel. It enables you to travel quietly and in an environmentally friendly way and to set up wherever it is allowed. The only disadvantage is the speed limit, which is 120 km/h with a roof tent, but that seems to be perfectly adequate for most travelers.
Their experiences and impressions summarized:
- Elevated and comfortable sleeping position
- Great panoramic view from the tent
- Less space than in a camper
- Nights can get chilly
- Warm accessories and clothing are useful
- Environmentally friendly travel is possible
Conclusion: 1 Time Camping with a Roof Tent
