WATER VAPOR TRANSMISSION

WATER VAPOR TRANSMISSION

Airtex fabric: g/m²/24hrs: 440

The equally fundamental element is the speed of water vapor transmission of the fabric, which respects the quality standards. Autohome must not be less than 350 g/m2/day. Only the high breathability or the excellent transmission speed of water vapor can effectively limit the formation of humidity in the tent, guaranteeing a cooler and healthier environment. Be careful with your choices.

ROOF ROOMS MADE TO LAST

Nothing has been left to chance: materials, components, mechanisms, protections, insulation, insulation and finishes: everything scrupulously tested to obtain a product suitable for all climatic conditions. Using polyester and fibreglass, like the hulls of the best boats, Maggiolina does not age, does not deform and does not discolour. It is very resistant to impacts, but in the unlikely event of breakage everything is easily and perfectly repairable (unlike plastic products that are difficult to repair).

INSULATED ROOF

INSULATED ROOF

Attic with cavity: it is an Autohome exclusive. The air cushion obtained thanks to the internal honeycomb panel and the anti-condensation mousse provide better thermal and acoustic insulation, for a healthier and quieter environment in case of rain.

INSULATED BASE

INSULATED BASE

The "sandwich" base offers 25 mm thick insulation, while the 2 "C" guides allow easy attachment to any roof rack (without carrying out any intervention) making the structure stable and safe, to resist stress " off-road". mentre le 2 guide a “C” permettono un facile aggancio a qualsiasi portatutto (senza effettuare nessun intervento) rendendo stabile e sicura la struttura, per resistere alle sollecitazioni “off-road”.

QUALITY YOU CAN TOUCH

Autohome® fabric is quite extraordinary: heavy in order to be strong to withstand the wind, yet waterproof and breathable: the absolute best for a tent, whether used in a campsite or on an adventure trip. Each tent is made with great attention to detail, assembled and sewn by expert hands.

For example, the roof - the most delicate part - is sewn directly to the side walls all along the perimeter. It is also stabilized by a core of rubber sewn carefully on both sides. The result is a compact tent which doesn’t flap in the breeze, like the rivals of Autohome®.

Advantages:

The tent is stable and does not swell in the wind. No ball or balloon effect which would be noisy and stretch and strain the stitching.

The breathable fabric reduces the heat inside the tent and, above all, keeps the tent dry, preventing condensation and unpleasant odours.

The fabric is both breathable and waterproof, keeping out heavy rain.

EXCELLENT BREATHABILITY, IMPROVED WELLBEING

AUTOHOME TENTS NATURALLY PREVENT CONDENSATION, REMOVING EXCESS HEAT AND WATER VAPOUR FROM THE TENT, 24 7

A LITTLE MORE INFORMATION…

The “breathability” effect is the result of high-quality fabrics

There are many different tent materials and systems available on the market, which give rise to problems or provide benefits according to their quality and workmanship. For example, many additional or double canvases are not much use. They simply hide condensation from view, without preventing it; and solar or battery-powered fans are also rather inefficient.

The essential feature for any tent used for camping is the fabric used, which of course has a cost but provides long-term advantages to the user.

The following factors may cause the build-up of condensation in a tent:
1. unsuitable fabric (plasticized or with too much resin)
2. the size of the environment
3. moisture from human breath
4. warmth built up during the day
5. the weather (rain and humidity)
6. the warmth produced by the human body. Overnight, on average, we lose about a third of a litre of water, in normal conditions, and this water vapour may become condensation.

Hence the importance of the fabric. Quality materials are essential for wellbeing, comfort and a satisfying outdoor life. Without noisy fans, air conditioners, suction devices and the like.

The certified values according to UNI and ISO tests show that AUTOHOME® fabrics remove humidity and condensation from the tent efficiently and naturally 24 7.

Results that give concrete proof of how Autohome tents, with their superior quality, have built up a reputation in the market for absolute excellence in the sector.

THE TENT STITCHING: WHAT LITTLE THERE IS, IS PERFECTLY SMOOTH

In a high-quality tent, the stitching is very important: there must be as little as possible and it must guarantee high-performance and reliability

Check out the stitching:
Count the number of stitches: the fewer the better.
Check the needle and thread used. Plasticized surfaces should not be stitched because the stitching makes holes which tend to get bigger and bigger.
Take a look at the fabric at the base of the tent, which should not be stitched, because this is where water could seep through.
Take the same precautions for the roofs and under-roofs of vans and campers.

The AUTOHOME choices that make the difference

There is an absolute minimum of stitching and no plasticized materials are used.
At the base the tent and the fabric are perfectly integrated, without any stitching along the perimeter. The fabric is simply folded and turned up so the rain can run off smoothly outside the tent. There is no stitching in contact with water.

The exclusive anchoring at the base uses elastic steel springs (without stitching) so the profile and base are flush. Only Autohome incorporates this high-quality feature.

No stitching for the anchoring, the most delicate part of the tent.

High up, the fabric is fixed to the tent by a dedicated aluminium rail.

And, to cap it all off, enormous versatility:
With the anchoring and fixing systems used by Autohome the fabric can be changed simply and easily.

“SILENT” WINDOWS FOR A GOOD NIGHT’S SLEEP.

UNDISTURBED BY THE WIND, OPERATED LYING DOWN IN BED.

The two windows with legendary Gidion design from 1959 are perfectly fitted to the side walls, without jutting or going out of shape. Today, as then, they are without the complicated fringes, poles or other features used by competitors.
Autohome® windows are safe, do not flap or swell up and, above all, are not noisy in the wind: ideal for a good night’s sleep whether there is a light breeze or a howling gale. The tent stays perfectly taut and the “veil” effect prevents tearing and damage from the wind.

Above the windows, a practical guttering allows rainwater to drain off without entering the tent. The rubber is sewn into the fabric.
A similar rubber tube fitted inside the fabric runs around the entire tent roof for extra stability and soundproofing in the wind.

Each window has dual closing with an outer and inner blind. Lying in bed, a rope operates the window like shutters at home and you don’t need to leave the tent to close the windows.

DOORS

The doors are large and provide easy access to the tent.

DIMENSIONS

The large doors are fitted with mosquito net and can be closed on both sides by a zip.
The four standard aluminium poles lift the canvas of the doors turning them into sun shades. Use when there is no wind.

RAIN COVER OVER THE WINDOWS

The 2 windows are fitted with a Rain Cover allowing partial opening even in the rain, essential for a natural change of air round the clock.

NEW! 2020 MOSQUITO NETS

OUTSIDE YOU CAN'T SEE INSIDE, INSIDE YOU CAN SEE OUTSIDE

2020 production will be updated! HI-TECH innovative blackout quality mosquito nets are installed on the entire series of shell blinds.

The mosquito net has an extraordinary blackout feature that provides more privacy to the occupants of the tent. Outside you can't see inside, inside you can see outside.
The mosquito net is very thick.
It is incomparable to the standard and it features an innovative weave so fine that it does not allow the passage of any kind of insects. Quiet nights in marshy areas, near watercourses, on the banks of rivers or in areas where the presence of microscopic mosquitoes is very high.

The mosquito net is very strong.

It is resistant to longitudinal tearing but also to tearing in the oblique direction.
The mosquito net is resistant to different environmental is resistant to different environmental conditions.

It is resistant to UV rays, saline environment and temperature changes.

CLAMPS

AN AUTOHOME IDEA FIRST PRESENTED AT THE EUROPEAN CARAVAN FAIR IN TURIN, 1982

The built-in clamp system developed by Autohome – running in the C-shaped guides in the base of the tent – provide quick anchorage to the roof rack.
The installation can be customized and adapted to roof racks of different sizes and distances between the bars, without the need for cumbersome changes or holes in the tent shell.
The tent can be fixed to two or more bars as well as to smooth roofs.
Called the UNIVERSAL SYSTEM, this Autohome idea was first presented to the general public at the European Caravan Fair in Turin.
Many have copied it and even today the Autohome® system complies with auto regulations and is TÜV quality-certified: proof of safety and a trouble-free product for customers and retailers of Autohome® roof tents.

Here you may find the most suitable set of fixing clamps according to the width of your roof bars:

FLYWHEEL OPENING

AS ALWAYS THE DISTINGUISHING FEATURE OF THE AUTOHOME RANGE

A device that is both practical and reliable, showing how Autohome applies quality to every detail of its products

The reasons behind the distinctive choice:

Flywheel opening is acknowledged as safe, reliable and durable. It is used for camper awnings and large canvas protections, in sports and in prestige residences. Not surprisingly it one of the features that has contributed over the yeas to the success of Maggiolina Autohome®, a product may have tried to imitate.
The flywheel is a practical way of opening the tent, but useful for closing too: you don’t have to climb up over the vehicle to close the tent!
The mechanical flywheel is safe and doesn’t require maintenance. It is greatly appreciated by users of 4WD vehicles and tall vans.
The flywheel can be used to adjust the tension of the tent, making it perfectly taut: even after years of service the fabric does not loosen. In addition, it is “creaseless” and allows the rain to drain off quickly whilst standing up to the wind.

And lastly the flywheel is like a house key…

Close the tent, remove the flywheel and it is just like locking your front door. Without the flywheel the shells cannot be opened or closed. Keeping your bags, beauty cases, rucksacks and their contents, along with other valuables, safe and out of harm’s way.

As standard, the handle can be operated on the rear section of the passenger side.

On request, when ordering, it can be arranged to be operated on the opposite rear section, driver side. This position is necessary when the space is occupied by awnings or other accessories installed on the side of the roof tent.

HIGH-TECH PERFORMANCE

INSULATED ROOF TESTED - UNI EN ISO

The dual Autohome roof comprises an original fiberglass shell and a special honeycomb panel pre-perforated by laser technology. This exclusive “structural” system creates an “air cushion” preventing 24 7 the formation of moisture and condensation inside the tent.

INSULATED ROOF

THE ORIGINAL AUTOHOME “INSULATED ROOF”: HOW IT WORKS
The insulated roof uses the same principle as applied by the building industry to the rooftops over lofts: an air cushion is created forming an interspace connecting the inside and outside, providing extra insulation against the cold and noise, but also keeping off the heat and humidity. The result is a quiet, healthy environment when it rains.
Also important is the thick “anti-condensation foam” system adopted by Autohome for the lining under the roof. Experience has taught us that for the outdoors this is an essential feature for wellbeing inside the tent.

NO OTHER DEVICES ARE NEEDED
With the advanced design of the Autohome® roof, no other devices – noisy and inefficient dehumidifiers and fans or solar chimneys and the like – are needed.

COMFORT IS A STANDARD FEATURE

Autohome® mattresses ae of the highest quality and density of 25-30 kg/m³. The sponge rubber, with removable polyester/cotton lining, is comfortable and does not go out of shape.
Depending on the type of tent, two, three or four pillows are provided, which are stored inside the tent when closed.
N.B.
Autohome® tents are supplied complete with fittings. No extra price for pillows or the standard aluminium ladder.

INCLUDING ADJUSTABLE LAMP WITH LEDs

Touch lamp (18 x 5 cm) with 3 Led ultra-bright leds, an adjustable spotlight and batteries.
The lamp can be removed from the roof to replace the batteries or use as emergency lighting.

LADDERS IN DETAIL

Not impressed by the huge variety of ladders on the market, Autohome® produces its own ad hoc aluminium ladders to tight specifications: light, compact, a perfect match with the tent.
Ladders available on the market are not used. Nor are low-cost mass-produced ladders. Each one comprises two halves, one sliding over the other, held together by Arnitel supports: an extremely strong plastic designed and manufactured by Autohome® to ensure sand, dirt or mud is not trapped in the sliding mechanism and the ladder works perfectly in all conditions.
The ladder can be placed at the entrance as you want, and locked automatically in position with the built-in “Security Lock”. No ugly and impractical hooks.
A bag is supplied for the ladder.

SECURITY LOCK

The automatic spring in the “Security Lock” locks the two parts of the ladder in position for perfect stability and, above all, safety.

The “Security Lock” and attachment at the top of the ladder ensure that, climbing up or down, there is no weight on the tent. This is safe and prolongs the life of the tent.

With the “Security Lock” the ladder cannot slip and slide or bump against the bodywork.

Ladders are designed ergonomically with rounded aluminium profiles for easy use.

The steps are oval with anti-slip surface and can be climbed with bare feet.

The two parts of the ladder are held together by Arnitel plastic supports designed to be “open” to remove dirt ensuring a smooth sliding mechanism even on a sandy or muddy terrain.

The built-in strut has the dual function of preventing oscillation and protecting the vehicle roof or drip surface (where the ladder is used, for example, with a Lan Rover Defender).

Simple, practical, without ugly and clumsy hooks.
The ladder has no fixed position at the base of the tent and so can be placed to the left or right or at the centre of the entrance, as you wish, depending on the opening of the vehicle door.

A bag is supplied for the ladder.

For some vehicles the tent can be attached directly to the vehicle roof runners. Rubber is fitted specifically for this purpose to prevent damage to the bodywork.
Ladders are available with the following lengths:

N.B.: when travelling all ladders can be placed inside the closed tent except the EXTRA LONG ladder, which is too large for the shell.

INTERNAL ELASTIC

HELPS TO FOLD AWAY THE TENT WITHOUT WRINKLING THE FABRIC

Hooking up the elastic the fabric is drawn towards the centre of the tent, making it easier to close. This is especially advantageous when the tent is installed high up on a camper, 4WD or van roof.
The elastic works independently, is not sewn directly to the fabric and does not cause wrinkling or other defects. The result is an attractive fabric that is waterproof, stable and durable.

Unhooked, the fabric is taut and unwrinkled, as experts have repeatedly testified.

AUTOMATIC SAFETY LOCK

THE DEVICE BLOCKS THE ANGLE OF THE LADDER PREVENTING SLIPPAGE OUTWARD

The special ALSS knuckle at the base of the tent is a safety lock for the ladder, making sure it doesn’t slip outward. Indispensable on the tarmac and smooth or slippery surfaces.

Ladder dimensions: h closed: cm 110 – h open: cm 230

AIR CLIMATE

Columbus incorporates the exclusive Air Climate ventilation system designed for the ergonomics of this tent. The AirClimate intake is at the top of the canvas, sheltered from the weather and protected by a mosquito net, improving ventilation and preventing the formation of condensation.

COLUMBUS: OPENING AND CLOSING

The opening and closing system used for Columbus has made history in the sector and has been imitated time and time again in various camping and caravan applications. Hoisting of the tent is very easy: two gas springs raise the shell which has a front hinge. Simplicity is often the best way and in this case made the Columbus range a world beater.
The tent opens in an instant, and closes quickly too. Just pull a rope and the shell closes without climbing onto the vehicle. Columbus is the top-of-the-range for frenetic globe-trotters, ideal for high vehicles and nowadays popular for family saloon cars.
The gas springs are fitted with Windstops to lock the spring supporting the upper shell, making for greater stability in strong winds.
Open, Columbus is the highest tent of all: great space inside for maximum comfort.

AUTOMATIC SAFETY LOCK

THE DEVICE BLOCKS THE ANGLE OF THE LADDER PREVENTING SLIPPAGE OUTWARD

The special ALSS knuckle at the base of the tent is a safety lock for the ladder, making sure it doesn’t slip outward. Indispensable on the tarmac and smooth or slippery surfaces.

FIXING THE ELASTIC HOOD COVERING THE TENT

THE MOST RELIABLE SYSTEM

A strong tear-proof hood protects the tent when it is closed and while travelling. The hood covers the tent and is fixed by elastic around the perimeter, fitting onto hooks under the tent.
Elastic was chosen way back in 1959 and still today is the most practical and reliable system.

Other closing systems failed to pass Autohome tests for functioning and reliability. Not even a zip around the perimeter will do, because desert sand or Australian dust as rarified as talcum powder can clog the mechanism.
The hood is made of strong electro-welded PVC with additional internal reinforcements.

OVERCAMP

DOUBLE UP

Side positioning: the tent will occupy only half of the car roof space.
You can fit: Small + Small, Medium + Small or Medium + Medium on large vehicl

OVERCAMP

STANDARD POSITIONING

Open, the tent covers the whole vehicle roof without jutting over the hedge.
In this way, it can be used in rest areas and car-parks, not only in campsites.

THE RIGHT TENT FOR SPORT

Surfboards, a canoe, bicycles or tools for your favourite sport can be placed on the roof rack, thanks to the compact design of Overcamp, which takes up only half of the roof.

SUN SHADES

The two large doors can easily be turned into sun shades, using the standard aluminium poles.
The two poles on either side of the entrance with the ladder are fixed to the base of the tent, whilst the two on the opposite side can be removed.
N.B. Do not use the sun shades when it is windy.

WINDSTOP

AN AUTOHOME EXCLUSIVE MAKING ALL THE DIFFERENCE INDISPENSABLE IN STRONG WINDS

A new feature we have waited years for and presented by Autohome® for the first time in Germany, at the Düsseldorf 2017 Caravan Salon. It was appreciated by the most important buyers and travelers of various nationalities.

WINDSTOP is an easy-to-use device applied directly to the gas spring to provide Columbus and Airtop tents with additional stability.

Every tent with gas spring opening is fitted with WINDSTOP.

ADVANTAGES:

Easy to use for extra stability in strong winds.
No tedious manual operations to stretch out the tent or fold up support arms every time the tent is opened or closed.
Two-step opening and closing guaranteed, for easy use.

BUILT-IN CARRIER

FOR LONG TRIPS

The upper shell has an exclusive design and the guides fitted to the structure allow for a maximum roof load. The adjustable bars are perfect for large loads such as a spare tyre, fuel tanks, timber and tools.
Max. load 25 Kg. (See operating instructions)

SHELLS IN FIBERGLASS

A SUPER LIGHT ROOF TENT

The Innovative and exclusive Autohome® production of fiberglass shells makes for a decidedly lighter tent.
Fiberglass is a compound material, obtained from sinking carbon threads into a special resin. After solidifying, fiberglass is incredibly strong and light.
Because it is difficult to dent or deform, fiberglass is used in many motor sports.
Fiberglass shells for Autohome® tents are made by laying out layers of carbon fiber in special moulds, and impregnating them with special resin for hardness.
The advantages of fiberglass shells include great strength, their weight (up to 20% less than conventional shells), heat insulation and their ability to withstand huge changes in temperature.

The colour of our Shells
is an integral part of the fiberglass

The special GELCOAT is a natural colour amalgamated directly into the fiberglass. Totally unlike conventional paints, it ensures maximum strength and in unalterable.

For our shells, Autohome chose the highest quality and most reliable procedure for the paint. Gelcoat, which amalgamates with the fiber, is as durable and tough as can be.
That is why it is used for fiberglass vessels which need to withstand an aggressive salty environment and multiple situations of stress.
Unlike conventional paints used for bodywork, Gelcoat is applied thickly in the mould during stratification, so it amalgamates perfectly with the fiberglass.

The result is a tough paint, resistant to UV rays, heat, salt water and salty air, as well as aggressive solvents. It can handle just about anything.
Whereas painting the shells would make them more likely to scratch, dent and become damaged during the journey. Painted, the fiberglass peels and is less long-lasting.
This is why Autohome® doesn’t customize the paintwork. Because the shell ISN’T painted at all.
But, on request, a particular shade of Gelcoat can be chosen from international colour charts (for orders of 70/100 units).
So that’s the secret of Autohome’s colour. It is part of the shells, not painted on! Painting a shell reduces its strength. Unalterable Gelcoat preserves it.

NEW
NO MORE NOISE FROM THE WIND!

AUTOHOME ELIMINATES THE PROBLEM OF DANGLING HANDLES AND NIGHT NOISE.

Dangling handles in tent shells are noisy at night due to the wind, one of the most common complaints in the sector. With its experience and the quality of its vision, Autohome was unlikely not to come up with a solution.

Now, tie-rods and handles on the edges of the shell can be whisked away with a simple gesture, eliminating the irritating noise caused by the wind. It also improves tidiness and the look of the tent interior, with nothing dangling awkwardly.

BUT THAT IS NOT ALL! AUTOHOME HAS ALSO MADE THE ZIP CURSORS “WIND-PROOF”

A rubber ring silences the movement of the zip cursor even in high winds and makes zipping and unzipping even easier.

ALSO BANDS AND CLIPS ON DOORS ARE WINDPROOF

The double clip prevents the bands from hanging off, thus avoiding the annoying tinkling caused by the breeze and the wind.

AN EXPERT RATES AUTOHOME PRODUCTS

TTHE BASIC FEATURES OF AUTOHOME QUALITY

In general, they are all tents of superior quality, with manufacturing and technical features that undoubtedly place them at the top of the sector. Technically (function, performance and comfort) and in aesthetic terms, they are unbeatable.
Autohome represents “history” and the continuous development of roof tents for vehicles; the company is the market leader with products that just can’t be copied. It is no accident that they were the first in the world to patent and develop this type of tent.
Since 1958 they have created a whole range of innovations and successful products. Their tents are the biggest sellers the world over, which is unusual because quality doesn’t usually coincide with quantity. But with Autohome, it does.
Another added value which today is particularly important is pride in a product that bears the “Made in Italy” label, with exclusively Italian and some European suppliers.

PROFILE OF INDIVIDUAL PRODUCTS

JÜRG SOLLBERGER

Jürg Sollberger is a traveller who has often done things ahead of time. A free spirit and innovator, he has worked on projects and in situations that later became a must for adventure travel. A dreamer, a rebel and certainly a man of courage: a tour leader for all kinds of destination, with every sort of itinerary.
You might think that such a man is solitary, a true loner, but Jürg is quite the opposite: to begin with, he is accompanied on his adventures by Doris Sollberger, who shares his achievements.
An explorer at the cutting edge, open to dialogue and capable of strong friendships: unsurprisingly, he is an excellent cultural and technical advisor. Including for Autohome. Indeed, he was one of the first travellers in the 90s to severely test Autohome products in Asia, contributing to the beginning of adventure travel in the Far East.
His famous tours include long trips in extreme conditions in China, Myanmar, Tibet and other countries in the Far East. In numerous expeditions and events, he has publicly thanked Autohome and spoken of its “Superior rooftent”. A significant homage to the products her himself uses on his adventure trips.
Since 1986, he has been an expert instructor in the trans-Africa tour, but his lasting passion has been for the silk-road, which he often uses to illustrate his “no limits” journeys.

AN EXPERT'S ADVICE

VERANDA

You’ve found somewhere you want to stay for a week. Or you’re in a campsite that has everything you need. What could be better than a veranda? It’s like having another tent, with its independent and self-standing structure. It doesn’t need to be near your vehicle. With a veranda, you can go to eh seaside or explore the local area without having to put everything back into the car. You can go shopping without having to take things with you. It’s particularly useful for quickly storing sports equipment, whenever the need arises. The fact that the veranda is a stand-alone structure means you can keep your place in the campsite even when you’re away.

VULA NETOU

The story of Vula Netou and how she took up adventure travel is fascinating. She is a young, passionate woman, full of life with a history in dance, first as a performer, then as a choreographer. For many years she has worked in the theatre as a dance teacher. Gradually, she fell in love with the freedom of adventure travel and shared the dream of Akis Temperidis to travel the world for nearly four years. Because of her legendary round the world tour, she can be considered an ideal tester, particularly in relation to the needs of women on arduous journeys of this kind.
The figures speak for themselves: 168,000 km covered in 1,177 days, visiting 67 countries in 5 continents. Over 70 articles have been written about the tour, and there have been over 150,000 clicks. More than 200 hours of film are available, edited into a docufilm released the world over.

BERND WOICK

For many years, Bernd Woick has managed shops specializing in outdoor clothing, tents and technical products for trekking, mountaineering and adventure travel. With his professional skills, he is well-known for his expertise in the sector and someone who personally tests his products and is familiar with the opinions of his clients. His company was founded in 1982 in Filderstadt, Germany and now has stores in other German cities. With the help of trusted colleagues, in recent years Woick has decided to dedicate more and more time to travelling, in the form of tours based on a strong spirit of discovery in out-of-the-way locations ensuring maximum contact with nature. He particularly likes to travel in a properly equipped vehicle, tested personally for his type of trip with no limits, and consulting in the auto sector obviously helps. His motto is: “Travel means living your dreams”. This combination of professional experience and passion makes him an ideal tester for Autohome products.

Autohome and Woick: growing together

From its creation, I’ve watched Autohome grow and followed its developments through the products I sell in my specialist stores. We immediately understood the philosophy of Autohome and its technical and manufacturing decisions based on excellence and distinguishing itself in a market where improvisation sadly still exists today. Whereas Autohome aimed straight for excellence and reliability, so we chose it as a flagship manufacturer for our stores. And we were right. Autohome has been increasingly successful for us even with the most demanding and expert clients.

I’ve always believed in the concept of a roof tent

The advantages of an excellent roof tent are so obvious it seems strange that it took so long for the idea to be accepted. And yet it did! I’ve always recommended roof tents, right from the start, over twenty years ago, because I knew they were practical, comfortable and safe. Roof tents are practically immediately available, they are practical and are an excellent shelter from the weather when you’re sleeping outdoors. They make cars more useful and competitive compared to the alternatives for sleeping at night. Today, the concept is largely but not completely accepted. Some people still don’t really understand the difference a roof tent can make and here, the quality of products like Autohome is very persuasive. You don’t change your mind after an Autohome tent, as many of my clients have proved. And, indeed, as I can personally testify.

From consultant to user

These days, I travel most of the year. I can consider myself justifiably a “citizen of the world”, because I’ve been to every continent. Yet there is still so much to explore and discover! Since I use Autohome roof tents so much, I think I can be considered a top tester. I have been able to personally appreciate how the technical and manufacturing decisions of Autohome truly make the difference. In the past, I have given technical and theoretical rather than practical advice, but now it’s the other way round. I know from experience that Autohome roof tents last longer and provide far more protection than any other in the sector. I could sum it up like this: an Autohome tent is the best investment a traveller can make. It provides wellbeing, safety and comfort.

ROBERTO MASCHIETTO

“I'm an off-road enthusiast, organizer of Land Rover events and not least in love with the trip that often took me away from the common routes of tourism. Today for my first solo tour of the world I chose an Autohome roof tent, Columbus Variant model, to install on my Defender 110. I started with an old '80s Maggiolina renovated several times but still a very good outdoor companion today. I am an admirer of Autohome products that I personally tested. I often found myself in a position to give advice to the company's technical staff: I did it with enthusiasm and pride. I think I gained good experience in the field; I have been following the roof tent market for years.”

ROBERTO MASCHIETTO

AN EXPERT'S ADVICE

“HARD SHELL ACTIVE” - PART 1

There are several roof tents on the market, but the differences in quality are consistent... Better to know them.
AUTOHOME shell tents are defined by the most authoritative experts in the field "ACTIVE HARD SHELL". Namely "Tent with active roof.” A description that well represents its identity and best-in-class quality. Let's see together what it means... Let's start by talking about the top shell: it is not only the cover of the tent when you are moving, but it is the tent roof itself when it is open.

This leads to greater reliability, because the shell, when lifted, fully and actively protects the underlying environment. So, it is not a trivial passive element, a sort of wall, a simple cover without utility: it is in all respects the TRUE roof of the tent! That is why Autohome hard roofs are ACTIVE HARD SHELLS. The roof plays an active protective role. Let's now consider the advantages that this choice entails... the reasons that make Hard Shell Active an advanced project, which allows you to sleep well protected.

FIRST: The roof keeps the underlying environment isolated from the heat and cold, thus less moisture and condensation.
SECOND: The fabrics, thanks to the action of the roof, are less exposed to the weather. This ensures more waterproofing, protection and durability
THIRD: With a similar “active” roof, the walls of the tent are also more stable and supportive.
For all these reasons Autohome stands for Hard Shell Active: the difference starts from the roof!

“HARD SHELL ACTIVE” - PART 2

Always in shape with the car With Autohome when the tent is open and the roof in place, every structural element, from the fabrics to the service ladder, remains within the shape and perimeter of the car. The open tent falls within the space defined laterally by the car mirrors, so it does not undergo the conditioning imposed by parking areas and car parks.

In practice, it means being able to stay anywhere, even in public areas without having to stop only at campsites. Pay close attention to this Autohome prerogative, because on the market there are shell tents or expandable models that, with a folding opening, come out of the shape of the car. They therefore necessarily require the use and overnight stay on campsites or in private areas. While with Autohome and its Hard Shell Active tents, it is possible to easily stop by a lake, a river, or the sea, in pine forests or public parks, always in complete freedom: pull the handbrake and... go to sleep! Also, for this reason with Autohome... the difference starts from the roof!

“HARD SHELL ACTIVE” - PART 3

The underside of the roof is active as well.
A unique identity, justified by numerous quality elements, capable of distinguishing itself on the market.One of these fundamental elements is the shell with active underside of the roof, or a semi-rigid inner coating designed and manufactured with great care and suitable materials: its function is in fact to concretely help counteract humidity and condensation, 24 hours a day and naturally, thus keeping the environment drier and healthier.

It differs consistently from the trivial, unreliable applied upholstery that sometimes masks poor quality with imaginative designs or eye-catching colours. Even less reliable are the low-cost finishes, almost always of Asian origin. While Autohome'S ACTIVE HARD SHELL represents a constructive principle for interiors typically Made in Italy, of high-quality standard. What makes it stand out? The presence of a double shell, a double cavity insulation, a real “second skin” that actively acts, providing for the well-being in the environment below.

These are the choices that make Autohome standing out, the only one that can say... the difference starts from the roof!

CLAUDIO CHIODI

AN EXPERT'S ADVICE

SAFARI SERVICE AND AUTOHOME

When Safari Service came to life, Claudio abandoned the bikes to move to the 4 wheels. In fact, the car offers many more possibilities to transport equipment and increase the potential of the trip and the quality of life especially during stops, without giving up a philosophy of movement that is itself freedom. The “guiding thought” is similar: lean, light, dynamic means. The only concession: an eye on rest: improving sleep and safety. From a sleeping bag on the ground to sleeping on the car roof. The memorable Air-Camping of the legendary Nino Cirani was the inspiration. The first Maggiolina tents were sold on the market, the reference to offer something original. In the early 90s, he started working with Autohome and the Columbus Variant tent was designed by combining ideas, passion, and experiences.

AN AUTHOR 'S OPINION

Claudio says about Autohome: "Clearly at the time I was looking for sponsors and in the roof tents sector, Autohome was the reference. We were immediately in tune. However, I did not want a product already on the market, I was looking for something to solve what I thought were my needs. They listened and trusted me. And what struck me, yesterday and today as well, was passion. At the time Autohome was a small company, but with extraordinary energy: people who took your advice and tried to find innovative solutions, with a maniacal attention to details. On this basis Colombus was designed, a tent I can say I am one of the "designers". Still today, for me, it is absolutely the best tent on the market. Lightweight, very fast to open and close, robust and water-resistant even in difficult weather conditions. In addition, it is also an excellent container.

A SEVERE TESTER

Claudio was always driven by passion in his choices, but he is equally motivated by quality and functionality of the products he uses: "I have been using Autohome tents for 30 years, and if by default I calculate 90/100 nights per year spent in the tent, it means that I spent at least 8 years sleeping in this... second home! A scenario that clearly explains how important a product is for me: it protected me under the rains of the rainforests, from the wind and sandstorms blowing at more than 100 km per hour, from the frost and the torrid temperatures of the deserts. I am proud when Autohome techs say: "Test this new solution, because if it passes your travel tests and it does not break... nobody will break it anymore!" It is a double pride, because I know I am a tester for a staff animated by a commitment that has no equal in the sector. I love recalling these testing experiences, because it is not easy to imagine how an apparently simple object such as a tent is continuously checked during travel and perfected: from the paint of a rivet to the breathability or waterproofing of a fabric, to the smoothness of a zipper or the comfort of a mattress... Collaborating as a tester with a team such as Autohome is a high responsibility, but it is also a great satisfaction!

“HARD SHELL ACTIVE” - PART 1

PROTECTION

AUTOHOME shell tents are defined by the most authoritative experts in the outdoor sector as "ACTIVE HARD SHELL". Namely “Tents with active roof”.
the top shell: it's not just the tent cover when you're moving, it's the roof of the tent itself when it's open.
This leads to greater reliability, because the shell, when lifted, protects the underlying environment fully and actively.
So, it is not a trivial passive element, a sort of wall or a simple lid without utility: it is in effect the TRUE roof of the tent!

“HARD SHELL ACTIVE” - PART 2

FREEDOM

The shell tent rises vertically.
The Autohome tent, when it is open and the roof in place, every structural element, from the fabrics to the service ladder, remains inside the shape of the car.
The open tent fits into the space defined laterally by the car mirrors, so it does not suffer from the conditioning imposed by parking and parking areas.

In practice, it means being able to stay anywhere, even in public areas without the obligation to stop only at the campsite.

“HARD SHELL ACTIVE” - PART 3

ISOLATION

A distinctive identity, justified by numerous quality elements, able to stand out on the market.
One of these fundamental elements is the shell with an active under roof, that is a semi-rigid inner lining designed and manufactured with great care and suitable materials: its function is in fact to concretely help counteract humidity and condensation, 24 hours a day and in a natural way, thus keeping the environment drier and healthier.

It deeply differs from the banal tapestries applied, unreliable and sometimes masking their poor quality with imaginative designs or eye-catching colours. Even less reliable are the low-cost finishes, almost always of Asian origin.

These are the choices that distinguish Autohome, the only one that can tell... the difference starts from the roof!

ISOLATION TEST

CONDENSATION AND HEAT

Being an undisputed reference of the market sometimes involves undergoing attacks, requiring clarifications. Precisely for this reason, disprove what is erroneously communicated and advertised by competitors, we unequivocally report a "condensation and heat" test carried out in a climate chamber according to the ECE /TRANS219 standard.

Test carried out by a certification and analysis centre that operates internationally in the business services sector. Staff composed of teams of Physical Engineers, Microbiologists, trained at the school of applied research through collaborations with Universities and European research centres.

HIGH PROFILE

FUNCTIONALITY WITH DESIGN AND GOOD TASTE.

When roof tents are closed on the go, their covers stand out.
The original Autohome covers are impeccable: they do not show any irregular shape issue as exhibited in low-cost tents. The defects are made even more evident when these covers cover the staircase that is not integrated into the shape.
A sturdy cover is essential to protect the structure of the tent and the parts it consists of, including the ladder, which should also be "in shape".

The superior quality of Autohome production is noticeable and also stands out in an element such as the cover:
1. It is important that the cover is easy to place and remove.
2. All Autohome covers perfectly fit the tent, creating the proverbial shape of regular parallelepiped: a peculiarity unchanged since 1958, which became really "iconic ", identifying the original product at a glance.

3. The accuracy of Autohome covers is even noticeable in the choice of how to fit it to the tent structure: an elastic tie rod acts along the entire perimeter of the tent. They are thus avoided unreliable zipper closures, badly withstanding the wear of time, and possibly jamming in case of sand, foliage and other materials to which the cover could come into contact.

ANTI-WIND

FUNCTIONALITY WITHOUT MAKING MISTAKES.

The wind is a natural energy as fascinating as it is potentially dangerous... but for those who love free travels it is important to implement specific "Anti-Wind" precautions. Especially if you use a roof tent.

A tent placed 2 meters from the ground, must in fact necessarily be designed to withstand the action of the wind, even of considerable intensity:

- NO with pronounced gutters and oversized shelters. These elements weigh on the openings of doors and windows. Apparently, they may look like protective parts, but in reality they are components that generate turbulence, noise and therefore... sleepless nights!

- NO with pronounced gutters and oversized shelters. These elements weigh on the openings of doors and windows. Apparently, they may look like protective parts, but in reality they are components that generate turbulence, noise and therefore... sleepless nights!

- NO "Ball" effect, always produced by the wind, which inflates the fabrics creating turbulence, thus making the tent unstable. The "ball effect" is even more pronounced in the case of tents in light and unstructured fabrics.

It is necessary that the roof is integral to the walls, therefore a tent consisting of a "single body", without false layers and cantilevers affected by the wind and therefore compromising its stability.

Autohome also, as always, considers wind-related problems, designing windows integrated into the walls, without protruding structures. These do not suffer from the wind at all and are also easily manoeuvrable from the inside, like the shutters of the house.
The "Anti-Wind" quality of Autohome curtains also plays an active and fundamental role in the choice of fabric: a structurally stable product of 420 grams per square metre, according to military specifications.

HIGH-TEX

TEXTILE FUNCTIONALITY.

BREATHABILITY
If we assume a breathability scale from 1 to 10, there are several fabrics on the market that do not even reach level 3. Yet in advertising they say they are tents with "breathable" performance.
Still applying this scale of values, Autohome tents would easily reach the rating of 10 and praise!

According to the UNI EN ISO 9237/97 standard, the breathability of the fabrics used by Autohome for the Air-Camping, Overland, Overzone and Overcamp tents was certified, and it accounts for 53mm/s.

A basic quality factor to effectively offset the formation of condensation inside the tent. A real strength of Autohome, allowing the company to stand out on the market.

WATERPROOFING
The fabrics used by Autohome are really "waterproof", so much so that they do not require additional protections to protect the roof.

Another element to consider is the rate of transmission of water vapour to the outside of the tent, as it is crucial to reduce internal humidity.
Autohome guarantees the waterproofing of its fabric even if burdened by a column of water 60 cm high, a resistance certified to UNI EN 811:1981 standards.

AKIS TEMPERIDIS

NOBODY LIKE HIM

Akis Temperidis is one of the greatest of all contemporary travellers. The figures are clear: the “auto record-man”, as unsurprisingly he is called, drove 168,000 km in 1,177 days, covering 67 countries and 5 continents. On the record tour he was accompanied by his life partner Vula Netou. Akis is a journalist by profession, specializing in travel, motor sports and adventure activities. After a long career as a tester and documentary writer, he decided to turn his dreams into reality by travelling the world. This was the beginning of the The World Offroad project. Today too, Akis is working on numerous projects as a partner of auto makers, photographer and publicist, in particular as a freelance correspondent for travel magazines and the adventure car industry.

ROBERTO MANOCCHI

Roberto Manocchi: the Off-Road “guru”

This is how they would call him if he were born in India: guru. Instead, he is a Venetian from Venice, as he likes to call himself. For this, everybody actually calls him the “mechanic of dreams”: with his skilful hands even the most extraordinary world tour projects come true. After all, in his career which started far back in 1990, he has been accompanied by many titles and appellations: engineer, tour leader, maestro… But he is always the one and only Roberto “the wizard” of the mechanics shop, capable of transforming a vehicle into something that will be able to withstand challenges reaching beyond imagination. Today he is a consolidated reference especially in the world of Land Rovers, because, as everyone knows, his soul always travels and lives in a Defender.
An intelligent and sensitive auto preparer, his job always starts from the expectations of the person that will travel rather than from the technical components. And yet he really masters technology! Very few know all about 4x4s like him. He knows how to be the friend who wisely gives advice and, at the same time, the super expert without excessive triumphalism and senseless ideas. His driving force is surely passion, but he does not let it take control. This is why he is sharp, rational and very meticulous, an exceptional auto testerman, sought-after in all Europe: merciless judgements, but always well justified.
With his profile and background, Autohome wanted him to be the verifier for its innovations: products, systems, accessories. Now his presence has become a consolidated tradition: nothing passes unless approved by Manocchi. The most recent test where he was protagonist was the one performed on the new closures that Autohome intends to introduce on all hard shell tents starting from 2020. After exhausting tests on the field, the Wizard of the auto workshop declared: “A very innovative closure makes the concept of functionality in the sector take a giant leap forward. It is a reconfirmation of the commitment and top quality which makes Autohome stand out even with regards to the technological elements.”
Take the word of the guru.

NEW!

UPDATE FROM AUGUST 2022

ONE FOR ALL,
ALL FOR ONE!

Autohome® means adventure, fords, mule tracks, sand, breath-taking grooves and any other impossible challenge you can imagine… A single name signing the result of a technical and productive commitment that for more 60 years has been making the history of off-road travel.

Let's now update the product and our identity, make it even more recognizable.

YESTERDAY

TODAY

UPDATE APRIL 2022

NEW TEXTILE
SUPERIOR QUALITY: MORE BREATHEABILITY,
MORE WATERPROOF

A very good fabric cannot be just waterproof (it would be unsuitable as a camping fabric), one of its’ main properties must be breathability: Each square centimetre of fabric shall contribute to the natural change of air. This characteristic allows to obtain a real weel-being condition that can only be assured by high transpiration and speed in water vapour transferring. This basic principle should be adhered to, especially in environments with small volumes of air, (such as a tent) to prevent condensation forming, and therefore, a heat reduction occurring within.

FABRIC QUALITY EVALUATION TO ISO STANDARDS

UPDATE 2021

WINDPROOF CLIPS AND STRAPS

When the door is closed clips and straps are completely concealed.

The double pre-arranged Velcro allow you to hook clips and strap completely under the roof thus avoiding the clinking caused by breeze and wind.

NEW

"C- SHAPED" GUIDES

The steel "C-shaped" guides fitted under the bases of the shell tents are renewed.
The "C-shaped" section has been refined with an optimized shape to facilitate the bolt tightening.

The steel "C-shaped" guide has been replaced with a more efficient aluminium guide.
The shaped section locks the screw, facilitating the tightening of the nut below.
Finally, the rubber caps complete the guides and become protective elements.

PVC - MESH

As standard, the bases of the shell blinds are protected by a special PVC - MESH fabric of very limited thickness that keeps the mattress more insulated and protected.

DOORS WITH VELCRO FASTENER

All the doors can be perfectly sealed at their bottom by means of Velcro, provided as standard.

UPDATE 2020

1 - WINDOWS
Improvements for the windows!

The windows have been enlarged in size compared to the previous production.
Inside additional elements waterproof panels have been added.

2 - MOSQUITO NETS

Mosquito nets were replaced with an innovative HI -TECH blackout mosquito nets that provide more privacy for the occupants of the tent.
Outside you can’t see inside, inside you can see outside.
These mosquito nets also exhibit an even denser weave for greater protection against insects, even the smallest ones.

3 - CLOSURES

The previous cold pressed steel closures were replaced with top quality aluminium closures.
These new closures exhibit steel cores and are perfectly adjustable. They are also fitted with a security lockdown.

4 - COVERS

On the bottom additional wear-resistant covers have been added.

5 - Handmade fiberglass shells as per tradition

Additional internal structural reinforcements for a longer life of the shell have been employed in the resin, useful for off-road stress and normal use of the tent;

6 - MATTRESS

Innovative resistant load-bearing and non-deformable mattress for additional comfort

GIUSEPPE FERCODINI

AUTOHOME® CO-FOUNDER

INTERVIEW

By Eugenio Martignani

Roof tents: how to choose them?
A dialogue on the principles that characterize a mythical product of the journey in freedom, the roof tent, with the advice of Giuseppe Fercodini, founder and owner of Autohome.

Who is Giuseppe Fercodini, a life dedicated to roof tents?
Only by knowing the character can we understand the philosophy that led him to create a product that has become a status symbol and synonymous with adventure.
I have recently turned 60 and I can safely say that much of my life has been dedicated to knowing, improving and promoting the product "roof tents". Over the years, my brother Giacomo and I, with the Autohome brand, have always aimed at making us understand first of all what quality means in our sector. This is still a priority. In fact, today perhaps even more than once! We were pioneers in our field and we had in mind, since we created the legendary Maggiolina, that quality, which then means practicality, livability and durability of the product, should be our must have. We have built our market positioning on these principles. They require honesty and transparency. Because quality is a concept that goes beyond brands. The same applies to Autohome. I still consider myself an "artisan-entrepreneur". I am not a trader, much less an accountant or importer of products that come from abroad. I'm just a perfectionist, so at least they say about me! I think I am a person who loves beauty and beautiful things, created by man and nature. I have two passions that I believe in: freedom and travel. Each tent has its own soul, a story to tell. Our job is to help people achieve this goal: travelling in freedom. I don't even know exactly how many models and combinations we have in Autohome, between sizes and colours we may exceed 100 variations. If Autohome made and continues to make the history of roof tents, it is because since 1958 it has always been consistent with these principles.

Why does the roof tent like more and more and what is its charm?
First of all, it is a choice of independence, which opens up prospects that other ways of travelling cannot offer. Whatever the type of trip, discovery, adventure, relaxation, from the big stage raid to the short weekend, the roof tent can be quick and easy, transforming the vehicle into a house in a few seconds, wherever you are. The real roof tents, and I emphasize true, are stable and safe in the wind, they do not undergo installation constraints. They always allow a comfortable accommodation in the front row: by the sea, the lake, the river, in the pine forest... however in direct contact with nature.

What is the most requested and preferred tent by users today?
Take our offer as an example: Autohome shell tents are exported to more than 40 countries and account for 70% of sales; the remaining 30% is for fabric tents. Only a few years ago the sales quotas were the exact opposite. Why this reversal of trend? Because only a few years ago, "pure and hard" adventurers, Saharans included, who were prone to folding fabric tents, prevailed.

Africa and the desert were their main destinations, ideal destinations for explorers and itinerant travellers. We are talking about tents intended mainly for large 4x4-Off Road vehicles. It can rightly be said that the success that became planetary of roof tents began with the legendary Land Rover 109, thanks to the memorable feats of the legendary Nino Cirani, still today an icon of adventure for fans.

Over the Peruvian desert. Image by Nino Cirani, published in the book "Il raid automobilistico", editorial Domus.

The main reason for choosing the fabric tent was that it occupies half of the roof of the off-road vehicle, leaving the other half in space to carry jerry cans, spare tires and travel equipment. This was the main choice in the Off Road world that had distinguished the market. But that is no longer the case today. Shell-roofed tent took over. There are those who say: but it costs more. I am convinced that in our sector the priorities go to other aspects, at least for those who really love free travel. I remember a travelling friend who said, "... if you go to a good restaurant and eat very well, you will remember what you ate and not the bill".

This is Nino Cirani's share 3 - Land Rover 109.
It should be noted that the tent occupies half the roof of the vehicle, thus leaving space to carry spare tyre and other travel equipment.

Fitting the tent to Nino CIRANI.
The open tent does not come out of the shape of the car, which means that it is possible to camp wherever you are.

Let's first talk about the traditional fabric tent. What are the strengths and weaknesses, and on which particulars to focus your attention to make the right purchase?
The fabric tents are essentially very compact when closed, and become well habitable when open. But be careful though: they open with a cantilevered platform and then come out of the shape of the car.

Let's see some aspects not to be underestimated.
The first point is the ladder: it should not be considered as an element to be detached from the tent and stored in the trunk of the car, that is to say, to be hooked every time the tent is opened. Conceptually the ladder is a structural and load-bearing element of the tent in all respects. So I recommend checking that the ladder is integrated.
Second point: materials and structure of the platform. The Autohome fabric tents have waterproof and water-repellent melamine wood floors of high elasticity, thus ensuring reliability and resistance. Quality guarantees very different from tents of Asian origin that have the floors in... coated polystyrene! So, before every purchase, check this item very well.
Third point:windows. That they must be perfectly integrated and not have protruding structures, because let's not forget that we are high from the ground. Personally I hate any stakes to match the windows as well as you can notice in low quality competitors product. Another aspect that I do not share in those tents are the windows on the roof, because they can easily become a source a source of risks of rainwater infiltration risks. Over time it can prove to be a very serious problem. And then pay attention to the wind: a tent about two meters from the ground cannot have accessory elements such as canopies and anything else. The tent must be a single body, the roof must necessarily be integral with the walls. If you do not check these aspects during the purchase, there is a risk from the first use... to take the flight and go hang gliding! Not to mention the sailing effect of the fabrics: in many resting places the wind is a constant, which can create instability and noise, causing sleepless nights.

An Autohome range tent is represented here.
A real windproof roof top tent. A serious, original and grand design project that does not generate turbulence and noise, much less "the sail effect" or "the ball effect" that are avoided.

In Autohome we have always known these problems and we solve them on our fabric tents with fabrics and designs that are the result of the experience of many years of activity. One day, an authoritative off-road character one day said, "You are Italian and you like cooking, so you know how to dose the ingredients to make a good dish." This joke has stuck with me, I still treasure it today and I apply it to my tents that must be made of heavy fabric, this is the first ingredient.

The second ingredient is that they must be simple and have little protruding fabric that generates sailing effect. It is usually preferable to stay in a private area or camping with a fabric tent. This is at least the law in force. The tent does not fit in the shape of the car, it comes out of the mirrors and therefore it is believed to occupy public land. They are therefore bound by the rules on the occupation of public land, a fundamental difference compared to the rigid roof tents, which are kept in shape. To recap: the great advantages are habitability and comfort. The most obvious problem is to have overnight limits in public areas.

Well, now let's consider the hard-shell tent. What are its strengths and how to choose it?
I believe that today these tents today really have something more than fabric tents. In particular, it is the roof that makes the difference. Having a roof made of rigid and suitable materials means having a more insulated environment: you are more insulated from the heat and cold, more protected from every point of view. It is no coincidence that experts call them ACTIVE HARD SHELLS, that is, TENTS WITH AN ACTIVE ROOF.

INSULATED ROOF

In fact, they have a little less internal habitability than fabric tents, but just choose a tent of the right size and the spaces become ideal. It must be considered that the shell tents are more compact and more stable than those in fabric, especially in case of storms. They completely prevent infiltration. Welded fabrics, double sheets and PVC cannot compete with a rigid roof, among other things made of fiberglass which is also equipped with an internal insulating membrane. So, to recapitulate sum up, I would say that the main advantages of shell tents are: an extraordinary stability without sacrificing the speed of opening and closing; to this is added the fact that the mattress is slightly higher and does not fold as for fabric tents. It is a single piece and has not been spliced. In addition, shell tents have no limits in deciding the location of overnight stays in public areas, because the tent and the ladder fall within the shape of the car.

The disadvantage, if we can define it that way, is only one: a higher cost of purchase than fabric tents. But I urge you to consider how much you can guarantee in terms of comfort and safety, especially in adverse weather conditions.

Let's go into the specifics of materials and talk about fabrics. What is the best material and how to recognize it?

It is a crucial choice in a tent, naturally affecting its quality and costs. In the market you can find everything: more or less heavy, breathable, waterproof fabrics. In detail, it ranges from high waterproof or watertight fabric such as PVC, to lightweight nylon such as Igloo tents, to coated, resin, synthetic, acrylic, eco-sustainable fabric to natural cottons and mixed fabrics. Autohome does not trust products from markets outside Europe, and this is because the quality is too variable. On this element, our purchasing department is particularly careful. In summary: for fabrics, yarn for seams and also for mosquito nets we turn to Made in Germany suppliers of great seriousness and specialist expertise. I consider it essential to use the most breathable fabric possible or in any case the one that transmits the best heat and condensation to the outside, of course it must also be waterproof. A well breathable fabric is definitely more expensive, but it is what allows you to get and it is a cooler and healthier environment. Autohome tents have a high degree of breathability and optimal heat transmission to the outside. That's why they don't need to use fans, vacuum cleaners or extractors to turn the air around. Next to the fabric, it is then necessary to consider the packaging and seams. We always try to avoid them at critical points. On this subject, I say that I have little confidence in the chemistry applied to fabrics: for example, hot tapes do not satisfy me; sometimes with temperature changes they lose grip. In my opinion, mechanical solutions or alternative packaging methods are better. The most exposed zippers, in particular, must be of high quality standard. Ours, the most exposed to water, are all waterproof and above all "spiral", to resist mistreatment and wear. As you can easily understand, in this case you need to check well before buying. Above all, do not be enchanted by certain prices offered by unknown brands or without a story, often present only on the Internet. The concept is almost trivial, but it is always important and must be remembered: even in our sector, nobody gives anything away and every decision has its price.

But an expert like you, Giuseppe, who has had the opportunity to thoroughly test and test all the tents in the Autohome range and knows their features well, which tent does he use personally?
When I was young, my first tent was the Maggiolina, which has always been my favourite. What memories! ... and that years of great enthusiasm and continuous discoveries... Initially I placed it on a Volkswagen Golf of 1982, then on a Passat Variant of the ’90s. I also used the mythical Air-Camping, but I did not have the right car to be in tune with what an extreme traveller did such as the great Nino Cirani, to be clear! Today that I am 60 years old, I use a Columbus shell with great joy. Exactly the X-long Land Rover model. This is because I want to be 100% safe and find myself in aesthetic harmony with my personal and timeless "Defender", year 2008. Also on this topic I would have a lot to tell... maybe next time, if you want.

CLAUDIO CHIODI

Claudio Chiodi has always travelled, he often likes to say about himself: "I began to travel even before I was born, in my mother's belly, who was following my father for his work". And he never stopped, first with his parents, then with the first experiences with the scooter and then with the bikes, one of his great loves. In 1984 another love at first sight: Africa and the desert. The sand became almost a vital necessity and since then it was an integral part of his life: spaces, silences, infinite horizons... His travels thus became increasingly demanding, even economically, but lucky for him, the first sponsors and collaborations with some magazines in the sector supported his projects. The world of the outdoors was now interested in him. The requests of the readers pushed him to share these experiences and in 1988, SAFARI SERVICE came to life, a sports association aimed at travelling. He promised to maintain the philosophy of his travelling even with the participants in his projects. He started raid experiences in total navigation: Libya, Algeria, Niger, Mali, without scouting, absolute premières shared directly with his raid friends. Everyone plays an active role in the journey. No programs: you only do what the group is able to face. And no fake packaged adventures. For Claudio, this meant living in Africa for almost 38 years, mainly in the deserts. More than 2,000,000 km covered and 140 expeditions in all countries of the African continent and the Middle East.

LADDERS

AIR-CAMPING® , OVERLAND® , OVERZONE®

For the Autohome fabric tents, the ladder was specially designed to keep the shape of the tent rational and harmonious even when closed on the go, ensuring at the same time an optimal use. Thus the “regular parallelepiped” was design, and today it represents an iconic shape recognized in the offroad and adventure world.

The uprights and steps have a specific geometrical section, designed with the aim of supporting the use of the roof tent, the folded ladder remains inside the silhouette and level out the base of the tent itself, ensuring a neat and satisfying geometric appearance.

The functionality is also an integral part of the design project: the ladder is in fact always hinged on top of the base and it allows an easy and comfortable opening and closing of the tent. Then it lies down and stays right above the base, reducing the footprint to zero and avoiding problems such as protrusions or the need to find a place to store it. Finally, no space to recover in the trunk or in other places of the vehicle, because the Autohome ladder is an integral part of a unified design of style, comfort, and practicality.

STAINLESS STEEL, WOOD, AND LEATHER

For the ladders of the tents, the choice of materials focused on original quality and values: this is why Wood and Leather join Stainless Steel, offering a product that is unparalleled in the sector for style and reliability. Autohome looks to tradition to innovate: an exclusive decision, like the exciting structural and stylistic result that comes with it. By using the three materials in a coordinated way, the ladder ensures: better comfort of the step, less footprint, but above all greater reliability in the sand and in any other environmental condition, even the most demanding. All enhanced by the beauty of the wood and the virility of the leather.

"If you have to go to the moon use aluminium, but if you go to the desert go with steel... and check that everything is well welded!" Giuseppe Dionisio Inventor of the AIR-CAMPING tent with book opening Sometimes one step back is enough to make two steps forward. This is exactly what happened with our ladders!

STAINLESS STEEL

Stainless steel: the term itself, Stainless, is synonymous with reliability.
It is an almost eternal material, which resists everything. In addition, thanks to its robustness, it allows structurally to use profiles with smaller and less bulky sections compared to aluminium. With these features, it allows you to raise the thickness of the mattress up to 8 cm and keep the height of the tent closed on the way to about 30 cm.
In terms of comfort this first advantage is already worth the choice!

WOOD

Wood: natural material of value and destined for a long life, much more than others. Sufficiently elastic and at the same time resistant, it is also an excellent insulator. It does not heat up in the sun. Autohome treats the wood making it water-repellent and therefore it will not require any maintenance.

LEATHER

Leather: a fascinating natural material, resistant to wear and tear. The real leather breathes and lets the moisture out. A precise Autohome choice to enhance the “adventure” style and underline the authenticity of its products.

MORE DETAIL

1) The stainless-steel ladder is firmly anchored to the tent. It is directly connected to the hinging of the two halves of the panels through omega profiles, creating a single and compact frame. The weight of the occupants is less concentrated on the cantilevered platform. It has a well distributed load and therefore it offers superior stability (this plus is even more appreciated on the Medium and Large tent models).

2) The ladder is always perfectly fitted and immediately available. By leveraging on the ladder you can easily get the instant opening of the tent, comparable to that of a book.

3) The closed ladder is 110 cm, so it fits perfectly on the floor, while when fully opened it reaches up to 2.30 m for high vehicles.

4) Easily extendable by means of three telescopic tubes suitably sized, it guarantees a sliding without any surprises. The ladder is not afraid of sand, dirt, much less requires periodic cleaning, the restoration of structural elements or lubrication. It does not have any automatic devices that could jam, so it is always working.

5) Designed and built as an anti-slip ladder, it guarantees reliability even on uneven asphalt and slippery flooring.

6) The deployment and height adjustment of the ladder are so “smart” and rational that they are pleasantly surprising every time they are used. A source of pride for the Autohome technical office!

7) The two movable steps are blocked with specific pins fitted with genuine leather laces. A re-evaluated system, practical, elegant and that never disappoints. The spirit of Nino Cirani, in the deserts or in the jungle, also lives in these details.

8) It is not bulky and it basically “disappears” when travelling. Aesthetics is not everything, but it should also please the eye!

9) It is fitted with real wooden steps incredibly beautiful to see, with their design, but also robust and functional: waterproof and water-repellent, they offer a wide non-slip support (45 mm), they also do not warm up in the sun and allow you to climb up even barefoot.

10) The step has a stainless-steel core, and it is welded to the upright. A stronger welding point than the tubular itself, thanks to the precious brass alloys with silver used by Autohome. No plastic, please!

These 10 good reasons make the Autohome ladder a valuable product: a great look that becomes comfort and safety. It will never let you down.

HARD FACE

CRYSTAL PROTECTION

The 360 tent models are fitted with transparent PVC Crystal protections to see outside even in case of bad weather. Both on the right and left side of the tent you have a great view. Of course, the Crystal protections are removable in case of intense humidity and heat. This new feature makes the 360 models even more pleasant to live in all weather conditions.
