This is a great thread. I have been looking at these RTT for a while trying to compare and see if i can justify the extra $$ for the one i really like (Maggiolina airland). It appears to be the stoutest, most comfortable, truly insect tight, fastest to set-up and take down, and, very important to me, aerodynamic.

I have been kicking around the idea of taking the cruiser on the Alaska Cruiser Trek and really want a tent on the roof. Part of the plan is to take the long trip back, site-see through Alaska, drive through BC, visit Idaho and Wyoming, down through Colorado and then head back across to NC. I want to minimize hotel stays and plan on really using the tent. I want something that is not going to make the cruiser top heavy and something that's not going to eat 4-5 mpg in gas mileage either. All this points me towards the airland.

This really is a tough decision but i think by skipping 5-10 hotel stays, i have paid for the tent.
