    SEMA Jeep Grand Cherokee with AUTOHOME

    Yes… The Jeep concept team called and ordered the tent - an AutoHome Columbus Variant - from us on short notice. I believe that they used some Quik-Certs and short spacers to mount it low directly to the roof. They did paint it. Mike

    Anyone use a Autohome Maggiolina Extreme in Southern California? or similar..

    AutoHome will be at OverLand Expo in Flagstaff this year as usual. Stop by and see us! Also, give Andrew a call and see if we can set you up with a tent to try in SoCal - we've done this before. Mike

    Seriously considering another clamshell RTT

    Yes, you get a prize… and we are still very much in business after more than 20 years. I suggest that you consider an AutoHome Air Top - our most popular model - it has mattress that is 80" long - that's 6' 8" of room to stretch out. And if you ever have a problem - we'll be here for you.

    RTT on tall vehicle

    The standard ladder supplied with our AutoHome tents extends to 87" tall and is tested (by AM General) to 800 lbs. There are a few high top sprinter van installations that required a taller ladder, but that is an exception. We also supply a ladder bag for carying the ladder inside the tents when...

    Edgestar Fridge vs Yeti Cooler

    I have a Yeti 105 for my boat - it's great for drinks, bait, and cooling the catch. For keeping food cold, the fridge is far superior - you can use the space that a cooler uses for ice and save a lot of space in your vehicle. No contest.

    You did well to get it at that price. Some of our customers opt to paint their tent to match their vehicle. Send me a picture and serial number and I'll see if I can get a mfgr date. Mike

    New Firearm Owner: Which Two?

    If I was to buy a shotgun to use for birds and small game, I would opt for a break action, double barrel 20 gauge with 26" or 28" barrels. Either one will be significantly shorter and lighter than a pump gun - even a short barreled pump gun. There are plenty of O/U models available. These are...

    Camping with Firearm-Post Bear Mauling

    Interesting subject, which often brings out hidden levels of personal insecurity. In grizzly country, at least, it is common sense to be armed appropriately. I have traveled, hiked, horse packed, fished and hunted in grizzly country, in both Canada and the US. There is something primal about...

    Mount RTT parallel to roof rack rail

    It is far simpler to detach the mounting rails on the tent and simply rotate them 90 degrees and re-fasten. We do this occasionally and it works without any issues.

    Tepui (or other) Telescoping Ladder

    We have the ladder you need. Collapses down to fit inside and has high impact hooks one one end and rubber feet at the other end. This ladder was tested by AM General at their lab in Indiana and only failed when the put 800 lbs on it. Solid piece of gear.

    Columbus tent, more questions

    Perhaps I can help. Some of your questions have been answered above, but I can add some details… 1) I noticed there are 2 rubber bands per side sewn into the fabric; what are these for? These are used to hold the rolled up doors or screens so they are out of the traffic into and out of the...
