    Best Rooftop tent option?

    The crank deployed Maggiolina is solid and bombproof once tightened, unlike the AirTop model. Because of this, I prefer the crank type in my part of the world where it is not impossible to experience 4 seasons in July. The Columbus is the easiest to deploy and it gives you a great view of the...

    Best Rooftop tent option?

    Weekend at Grassy Lake. Yellowstone ecosystem. The simplicity of the Autohome can't be beat. Go with the Maggiolina crank type and skip the AirTop model.

    Maggiolina

    This is why I stopped selling and renting out the Large Grand Tours. I sold the one I had to someone with a 350. The clamshell models will give you the room you are looking for. You will not have the advantages of the setup/takedown ease, hard shell, etc. But I opens up a plethora of choices...

    pop up roof top tents; what do you have and pros and cons?

    I have tried different full cloth/'canvas tents and enjoyed the headroom and various awning/extention options. I have also owned and now also rent and sell the hard shell Autohome tents pictured above. Most are not familiar with the can as/cloth Autohome tents. To me, the stability, thermal...

    100 series stock roof rack and RTT

    I think it should be fine. The added occupant load is static load and the weight limits are for driving down - active. Check that everything is uber tight - small star screws tend to loosen on the hundy factory racks. Visit the AutohomeUs site and there is an explanation on this topic. Though...

    A few tent questions.

    The Maggiolina Grand Tour or Airlander are bombproof shelters on top of a vehicle. The lift Mechanism solidly holds the tent locked tight- drum tight. The flat fiberglass roof is also solid and NOT hot or cold based on the weather outside. I felt safer with these on my 100 than with my...

    Electric Blanket Camping

    I place my electric blanket between my down comforter and feather top cover of my RTT. As soon as I stop, I plug it in. Before we crawl up- I unplug it. Down stays nice and toasty- maintained by body heat most of the night without fear of draining battery. During the winter, I use -40...

    Electric Bear Fence

    Recent increase in bear human contact in the greater yellowstone area prompted me to try out the UDAP electric bear fence. At less than 4 lbs with battery, these babies provide 6000 volts continuously for 5 weeks with 2 D batteries. This does not take the place of taking the usual...

    New ARB Awning Installed, Ready To Go Camping!

    Very easy to set up especially with 2. Will be replacing the zipper tabs with Marmot zip tabs- jiggle free- no noise. Working with fab shop for Thule and Yakima load bar adapters since we are planning to add these to our rental gear to complement our rental RTTs and ARB fridges

    Autohome AirTop Tent

    That is a small on the 80. I believe that is what was brought to The Overland Expo.

    Autohome AirTop Tent

    CSG1 The tents are pushing 3K. And the loading on and off after 2 days is what most of the costs go to. We credit half the rental cost towards the purchase of the tent. This significantly lowers it and more importantly it allows one to try out these tents for a small fraction before...

    Autohome AirTop Tent

    Spresso you are absolutely correct, the AirTop is not as drum tight as the original scissor maggs. But it is still quite tight. The struts do not lock like the the Columbus, rather, there is constant tension being applied since the strut never reaches full extention... It excels in set-up...

    Autohome AirTop Tent

    The best way I found was to close the back first. Pulling on the built in cord, then latching the first click. Then, do the front ( 2 straps up front) so pick a side to start with. My 0.02- easy set up, more involved take down if alone. Very easy with 2 people. The i ternal bungee...
