Korea Travel Vlog: Rooftop tent manufacturer iKamper – production, camping kitchen & Co. + Shanghai

Korea trip – Our first joint trip to Korea with the new CAMPWERK film team.
We took a look at the production of our new products and gained fascinating insights into the factory.
As we already had the opportunity to travel to Korea, we of course took the opportunity to do some sightseeing and see the amazing culture in Asia.
From impressive sights and delicious food, to the manufacturers of our rooftop tents, we had some unique and eventful experiences that we won’t soon forget!
Join us on our exciting journey here in this Asia vlog!

Journey to Korea: our adventure begins after an 18-hour flight

We have big plans!
After we were invited to take a look at the production of our new products and the company behind them, we set off on a trip to Korea with the entire CAMPWERK film team.
18 hours of flight and jet lag were ahead of us, but it was going to be an unforgettable adventure!
We started our trip together in Bochum and were already very excited about all the experiences and, above all, the manufacture of our products!

Route: Bochum to Seoul

Here is our complete route from Bochum to Seoul.
We had a long journey ahead of us, but it was definitely worth the effort!
After 19 1/2 hours in total and 18 hours of flying time, we finally arrived in South Korea!

This is our first trip together for CAMPWERK and no expense or effort was spared to make this adventure possible.
After an entertaining stopover in Helsinki and an 8-hour movie marathon, the time had finally come: we arrived in Seoul!
Tired and exhausted, but euphoric, we threw ourselves straight into the day and into work.

View of the roof tent production

We arrive in Seoul, Korea, without a breather and with a huge jet lag, to jump straight into work and the next adventure: a visit to the production of our beloved iKamper Skycamp and X-Cover roof tents.
How is a roof tent produced?
And what is the company behind our products?
We got to the bottom of this question!

Production – Video

AIOKS camping kitchen from iKamper – Video

Do you already know our AIOKS camping kitchen?
This small, practical kitchen 2 go is definitely a must for every road trip and should therefore not be missing from any equipment!
It contains everything the outdoor chef’s heart desires.
Table, stove, dishes, kitchen utensils, food and (cold) drinks can all be stored in the practical aluminum box.
Thanks to its compact design, the AIOKS kitchen system weighs just 10 kg and is very easy to stow away with a maximum width/height of 50 cm.
Once unfolded, however, the AIOKS kitchen system offers space for the whole family!

Last day in Seoul: iKamper Distribution Meeting

Round four of the Asia Vlogs begins!
Our visit to the roof tent manufacturer iKamper in South Korea is really exciting, but also a lot of work.
Meetings, discussions and discussions compressed into 2 days – it really makes our heads spin.
After discussing a few structural issues and planning products for the future, we were finally able to relax a little.
The food at the Korean buffet was indeed a nice balance to the work.

Korean buffet – Video

The Korean buffet does indeed take some getting used to, but of course we are always open to new things!
With the huge selection of meat, vegetables, noodles etc., we ate our fill and were recharged before getting back to work.

Two more exciting vlogs follow in Korea and then it’s straight on to Shanghai, where we will marvel at even more rooftop tents, even more culture and even more food.

The end of the Asia trip is approaching…

After visiting the rooftop tent manufacturer iKamper in Seoul, we were able to enjoy the country and its culinary treasures on the last day.
The multi-faceted city has an impressive culture, exciting sights and, above all, delicious, traditional food to offer and impressed us across the board!
This trip will definitely stay with us for a long time and has given us priceless memories that we can still tell our grandchildren!

Sightseeing and food – Video

Of course, we wanted to see as much of this multi-faceted city as possible on our last day and make the most of our trip.
We ate at an impressive height with an amazing view of the city, visited the Palace of Radiant Bliss and soaked up numerous impressions.
A traditional, but not quite cheap, lobster awaited us as the grand finale.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDdc5UwVbNA The next video will take us to Shanghai.

Last stop on our trip: Shanghai!

Unfortunately, we have already reached the last point of our Asia trip!
To round off this week-long trip, a sightseeing tour of Shanghai was of course a must!
After making a detour to the factory and discussing the final details for the new products, we went back to the hotel to start a sightseeing tour with a guide and take in as much of the culture as possible.
We definitely didn’t want to miss out on China’s largest city, but after that it was Goodbye Asia – Welcome Home Germany!

Rooftop tent production and sightseeing – Video

Here we give you some brief insights into the production of our current “Adventure” roof tent.
Watch the video to get a final impression of the meticulous work that goes into our products.
Then we’ll take you on our last sightseeing tour before our journey comes to an end.
We experienced an incredible amount and were able to take away a lot for ourselves and, above all, for CAMPWERK!

Offroad
Raised and extra stable for road and off-road… What do you do if you are traveling in regions with poor roads or drive an off-road vehicle or SUV whose dome height does not fit conventional trailers? The solution: the off-road tent trailer from CAMPWERK – specially developed for extreme conditions. This unique model impresses with a raised and particularly robust AL-KO chassis that can withstand even the most demanding off-road routes. The entire body is made of lightweight but sturdy aluminum, reinforced with durable stainless steel components. So you are perfectly equipped for any terrain.
Black / Silver
Available now: The CAMPWERK Offroader in the exclusive Black/Silver Edition CAMPWERK is expanding its range and now also offers the popular off-road tent trailer in the coveted Black/Silver Edition. The high-quality aluminium body is completely anodized in matt black, while the mudguards are powder-coated in elegant “Gun Silver Metal”. An absolute eye-catcher on any road and in any terrain!
The off-road trailer from CAMPWERK impresses with its lightweight construction: Thanks to the aluminum body, the base only weighs around 300 kg when empty. With a permissible total weight of 1.5 tons, it offers an impressive payload capacity of up to 1.2 tons – ideal for small excursions, transport and even larger expeditions.

Visually, the trailer blends in perfectly with the appearance of an off-road vehicle or SUV with its coarse-tread MT tires and robust, full-length aluminium mudguards. The mudguards are also designed in such a way that they are ideal for the safe transportation of petrol and water canisters or gas bottles.

To ensure flexibility, the off-roader’s tyres can be individually adapted to the towing vehicle on request, so that only one set of spare wheels is required. The standard ball head coupling can also be optionally replaced with a DIN or NATO eye.
T-drawbar or V-fork ?
Thousands of trailer drivers know the problem of tight spaces only too well: if you drive into a narrow lane and have to turn, it is important to back your car as far as possible against the trailer in order to get around the bend without any problems. With a T-drawbar, you can utilize the maximum steering angle. This is precisely why we at CAMPWERK rely on this tried-and-tested technology – for optimum flexibility and maneuverability, no matter how tight things get.

Material and processing.
The tent fabric of our trailer tents is made from a high-quality, 450 g blended fabric, also known as canvas. This unique combination of cotton and polyester combines the advantages of a natural fiber with those of a modern high-tech material. The result is a robust, breathable fabric that impresses with its pleasant feel and high dimensional stability.

The tent fabric, which is also used by the military, is impregnated and particularly tear-resistant thanks to the ripstop process. In this special weaving technique, thicker threads are woven into the fabric at intervals of around 10-15 millimetres, giving the fabric its characteristic tiled structure and exceptional tear resistance. It goes without saying that our fabrics are opaque and therefore offer optimum protection and privacy.
The basis of our trailer tents is a robust stainless steel frame with a thickness of 3×3 cm. A 1.8 cm thick, water-resistant wooden floor panel is securely fastened to this sturdy frame with stainless steel screws. The frame of the trailer tents is also made of galvanized steel tubing and special stainless steel components that ensure maximum stability. The modern surface finish not only offers a high level of corrosion protection, but also gives the material a pleasant feel and ensures a durable, weatherproof construction.
We rely exclusively on yarn from the German market leader Amann. Thanks to the combination of a cotton core and a high-tenacity polyester core, this yarn is characterized by a particularly high tensile strength and excellent water resistance.

On contact with water, the cotton coating swells and closes the seam holes created during sewing. For additional protection, all seams in the roof area are fitted with a transparent sealing strip to ensure maximum waterproofness.
Less is sometimes more.
We are often asked: What about the water column? For tent fabrics, the impermeability of the fabric is specified in the form of the water column. For cotton tents, this value is usually around 300 to 400 mm. However, our tent fabric offers an exceptionally high water column for cotton fabric of around 750 mm. This means that theoretically more than 75 cm of water can stand on the material before the first drops penetrate.

A major advantage of cotton as a natural raw material is its ability to swell when it gets damp, which provides additional waterproofing. In contrast, synthetic fabrics, which cannot swell, must have a much higher water column (between 3,000 and 10,000 mm, depending on the material) in order to achieve comparable waterproofness.
Good night.
The comfort sleep set consists of a high-quality visco foam mattress that adapts perfectly to the individual body shape, ensuring a restful night’s sleep. The set is complemented by the innovative Froli bed spring system, which guarantees an exceptional sleeping experience. Perfect sleeping comfort in a well thought-out overall package.
Premium mattress.
An excellent mattress is the basis for healthy and restful sleep. Just as every person is unique, their mattress should also be individually tailored to them.
Our premium mattress adapts perfectly to the contours of the body and promotes orthopaedically correct positioning of the spine. Thanks to targeted pressure relief, back muscles and intervertebral discs can relax optimally. The innovative construction and high-quality materials create an ideal sleeping environment.
There are no compromises at CAMPWERK: We rely on flexible visco foam with memory function. The unique combination of supportive foam core and relieving visco foam topper ensures maximum sleeping comfort.
  • Visco-elastic mattress.
  • High-quality Tencel® cover (38 % Tencel®, 62 % polyester).
  • Four practical turning loops.
  • Four-sided zipper.
  • Removable, divisible and washable.
  • Four practical turning loops.
Suspension.
Good ventilation is crucial for your well-being and sleep hygiene. To ensure maximum sleeping comfort, we combine our mattress with an innovative Froli slat base. The flexible spring elements form a comfortable slat base with individually adjustable firmness zones. This combination ensures orthopaedically correct positioning of the body and provides targeted, pressure-relieving support. This effectively prevents tension and one-sided strain. The open, air-permeable cells also enable optimum ventilation and create a healthy sleeping environment.
