    Locking a RTT to top of car

    We sell the TuffNut security kit for our standard mounting hardware. In the years that I have been dealing in Roof Top Tents, only one tent has been reported stolen - and in that case the entire vehicle was stolen.

    Maggiolina tent mounting

    I am running a Front Runner rack on my 80 Series LC with the Air Top mounted. Works fine. You may have to work on the standard clamps to fit the FR bars. If you have a problem - call us, we can advise on mounting issues. When you use a gutter mount system, and intend rough country travel...

    New Tripolina Chair update

    The 'genuine' Tripolina chair was a copy of the English Fenby campaign/safari chair. The canvas seat is traditional. Some of the Tripolinas were made with leather seats. We have looked at using a top grade leather for the seat, but they would be EXPENSIVE. It will happen eventually. Ramjet - we...

    Painless dual battery kit

    I have a National Luna dual battery kit in my 80. Works fine, no issues over the 4-5 years. My previous LC build I used marine grade components and built my own system. Liked it a bit better due to a simpler, more intuitive control interface. As for a voltmeter -- I am more interested in amp flow.

    Rooftop tent questions

    Robert I have a lot of experience with AutoHome RTTs, but very limited experience with other brands. Some of our customers have been using/traveling with our tents for years. The late (and my lamented friend) Bob Bancroft of Oregon had a Maggiolina that he bought new from us 16 years ago. It...

    Tilting a Maggiolina RTT for more Aero & Toys

    The Thule Xsporter can be raised and lowered, but as noted, it is a weighty problem with a tent fitted to the bars, and you would NEVER want to tilt the tent when moving the vehicle. What you CAN do for aerodynamics in your situation is the mount the tent with the front of the wedge pointing to...

    James Baroud or Autohome roof top tent

    Congratulations on your purchase of a roof top tent. As regards the review you linked in your post of 1-16-14. I read it and it appears to be very dated, and much of the information contained in its review of the Maggiolina is simply incorrect. For instance, the discussion of the Maggiolina...
