    New Autohome Maggiolina/Columbus tent, the AirTop

    I have the Standard white top with carbon grey fabric on my 80. I have a Black Storm on special order for a customer, and certainly could get one for you, if that's what you want. No worries.

    Reasonably priced O/U .12 gauge?

    X2. Beretta 686 Onyx used should be around $850 or so. Very good guns and will last for a long time, parts and repair available if needed.

    New Autohome Maggiolina/Columbus tent, the AirTop

    With the caveats about dark tents in mind... use a marine fiberglass prep procedure to prepare for primer, prime with a fiberglass primer, and shoot the top coat with a paint from the same mfgr as the primer. Please bear in mind that I have never painted a tent, but have painted boats. The...

    New Autohome Maggiolina/Columbus tent, the AirTop

    PD -- I think I could order a black top with safari (tan) fabric. Call me? I do not encourage people to buy the black top because: - It costs about $100 more than the standard white top - In sunny weather it will get a lot hotter inside the tent. But we aim to please!:victory: Carbon is...

    I have a container of product being built now. A number of Maggiolinas, including Air Tops are on order. I will have an Air Top on my 80 at OX10. Call me for details at 888-852-2359, or e-mail mike@autohomeus.com. Sizes and prices are similar to a standard Maggiolina.

    New Autohome Maggiolina/Columbus tent, the AirTop

    It just a 'horses for courses' thing. The Columbus is also very popular. IMO, the Maggiolina is a slightly better all weather tent and really shines in poor weather and cold conditions, while serving well in warmer weather. The Columbus is slightly better in warmer climates due to the available...

    New Autohome Maggiolina/Columbus tent, the AirTop

    Brian -- We do not have a tent that will comfortably accommodate 5 people together. best option might be a Medium Maggiolina (2 adults, one child) with the side verandah and a couple beds for the two older children in the verandah. Mike

    New Autohome Maggiolina/Columbus tent, the AirTop

    I have a small Maggiolina Air Top on my FZJ80, on a new, purpose built rack that Sergio at Baja Rack has started to build for us. This is a totally new, awesome tent, and has a number of very cool features. I have not had a chance to wring it out yet. Planning an 8 day jaunt through the Owyhee...

    New Autohome Maggiolina/Columbus tent, the AirTop

    There are a lot of models and sizes. It is impossible to maintain a full stock of all models, since a container is limited in size. We try to stock the models we find most suitable and popular for the American market. But all the tents made by AutoHome are available - on special order for the...

    Folding an (OverZone) RTT in the Rain: Problem for Mattress?

    If you zip the doors shut prior to folding the tent the water will remain on the 'outside' of the fabric. Just remember to open and sun dry the fabric before storage.

    The death of a diesel engine

    Martyn, looks like you dodged the big bullet, that's great. MUCH cheaper than a new engine. This is also an oppty to upgrade the turbo, if you are so inclined.

    Maggiolina Extreme Roof top tent

    With the current deficit and continued borrowing of the US Govt. we really don't think that the Euro will drop back to those levels. Big concern is where is the top? Our prices are effected by the fluctuation of the Euro and factory production costs. If these moderate, prices will go down. I...

    Jon - wish I could still sell them at that price! But you already have a tent, or did you sell it to get a new, improved model???? :victory:

    Maggiolina Extreme Roof top tent

    The addresses of the two pages are slightly different, and if you cached the old address in bookmarks, the page with the (very) old price shows up. Thanks for pointing this out. I have notified the webmaster and asked him to delete the older page.

    Maggiolina Extreme Roof top tent

    This issue came to light this AM. I am investigating, but believe that the older (much older) stuff is cached somewhere and shows up under cern (unknown) conditions.

    Maggiolina Extreme Roof top tent

    Bump for a great deal. These list at $2699 (not including crating and shipping) and may go up a bit due to increases in cost.
