Never seen an Airtop in person. But I have wondered why AHI doesn't include the same, nice, large end windows on their Maggiolina line from their Airtop. Personally, I wouldn't want the 'fight' of collapsing an air strut RTT. And, apparently, the learning curve of collapsing the Airtop...

The fabric on my Variant at least, has zero flex. Its a complicated probkem to solve actually. A better fabric IMHO will be heavier & thicker per yard and thus occupy more space when closed. I’m no spring chicken...and at 60 I’d actually prefer another inch or two in height to...

Some folks can sleep through a tornado so YMMV. If you have a propensity to camp in 20mph+ winds then the Maggiolina. Or wear ear plugs ?. I did fab a crude telescoping ‘spreader bar’ that, used inside the Variant and above the doors, to help put outward tension on the fabric that gets me...

I too have the hook & loop to hold in place bug screens on the vertical side doors. I heard, the next container after mine came out of (go figure) Autohome Italy changed to zipper screens. I've got too many nights in my Columbus Variant (small width, x-long length) to count and like it...

Yes, I saw the post on FB a few days ago: Great news and will be interesting to watch what they do.

I've made a couple duck tape & foam cases for various this-n-that items. Quick, easy, effective & durable. https://www.instructables.com/id/Duct-tape-bags/

This is not an isolated incident. And a true test of the warranty and commitment by both JB <any manufacturer of "quality" goods> and the distributor. I've got no dog in this fight other than basic curiosity how/if its resolved. FWIW, I did have a problem with my first RTT, Autohome ...

Have been in shopping mode again since I don't have a facility to fab what I want...the TetonX Hybrid checks many boxes.

Two tortured Autohome fiberglass RTTs in 14-years without any cracks. Gel coat or otherwise. If the OP's issue truly is from no-impact and just a couple months old...

Many posts about cracks in James Baroud fiberglass. They need to pay a visit to Autohome Italy...

FWIW, I have extensively used two Exped MegaMat 10 mattresses plus one of their DAM mattresses and there is no denying their comfort. But as my single width Exped has aged, the one I used the most (and in my Autohome Columbus when I was solo'ing ;)) it has gotten leak prone; Exped says its...

Oops :rolleyes:

We need to talk! Benicia's not that far from Reno...might just work.

The worst night of camping I've ever had: Laying (not sleeping :D) atop a 2" memory foam "topper" with ambient temps in the 30's. Brick hard. I did have a local mattress company make me a 4" latex mattress that was immune to temperature and was quite comfortable given its 4"...

Same age demographic here...

Personally, I’m interested in full height barn doors where the tailgate is removed (ala Caravan, etc., topper). Will you fab something similar?

FWIW, I Dutch's Karavan has coil springs not air bags/springs.

@wileybyrd I went through the same decision making process before buying the LP61. I liked the lower reach over height for my application. As long as the lower height accommodates your tallest item there's no compromise (and exterior dimensions). The only thing that would have swayed me...

My 13yo Waeco 51 doesn’t have top to bottom evaporator lines. By putting frozen goods (have done it with ice, meats but not tried ice cream) in the bottom right corner, where evap lines run, then I place a 1/2” thick piece of closed cell foam to close off approximately 80% of the horizontal...

Ditto @dreadlocks opinion: For 3 nights (and longer actually) go with a single compartment unit assuming you don't have some specialty application for frozen goods. For ice just add an RTIC or similar...less overall $ and more versatility. My Waeco 50l has served me without issue for...
