“Have made three trips with just the Skycamp 2.0 and 1 with the annex room. So far it's been great, with two major exceptions. I'm 203cm and chose it for the large sleeping area and sturdy build, and I can lay at full length in either direction. The small openings at the floor hinge are well-covered by the tent skirt and still make a great place to run a 12v extension to the power points in my Ford Explorer. The windows and skylight are great, although the skylight zippers get very hot in a Texas summer. The annex room is so easy to put up, that I was able to figure it out for the first time at 10pm in a pitch-dark campsite. It could use some windows at the corner panels, though - it would be nice to be able to see out in inclement weather.
The two things that I'm really disappointed in: First, the mattress. I knew it was thin, but I expected "memory foam" to be denser. It's absolutely necessary to have some extra padding. Second, and related, is that it's impossible to leave extra bedding inside to offset the super-thin mattress, although I'd seen reviewers online claim to do so. Even a completely flat full-size air mattress, with the air sucked out by a pump, caused difficulty in closing the Skycamp. Just forget anything like actual extra foam. Putting extra bedding in triples the time and effort needed for setup. I mean really, would raising the hardshell a few cm be that terrible?”
“We are really happy that we decided to add the Annex room to our setup. It's a great place to hang out and escape the bugs but still be surrounded by nature. It's perfect for changing and preparing meals on a rainy day too. This would especially be helpful if you had a dog that isn't able to be carried up the ladder, they can sleep in peace in the Annex Room. The set up obviously takes a little longer to set up than the Skycamp because it's more like a traditional tent, but we were really happy with the ease at which everything connects and zips together! I think it took us 10 minutes tops to set it all up. We love it!”
