Autohome Airtop, a detailed view

The Overlanders review of the Autohome Airtop and how it compares with the Maggiolina and Columbus. One of the lightest roof top tents in Australia and the world. Beautiful fiberglass construction, insulated shells, and ridiculously top-notch fabrics from Bayer. Autohome, made in Italy since 1958.

I’ve got a white air top on top of my troopy. It’s amazingly aerodynamic. Hardly notice it’s there. Hasn’t moved since I fitted it on two front runner bars. Great for two people and a dog.

Great review. Thank you.
We purchased the Airtop Medium from Defenders NW in WA last October.
After years with a FWC Hawk we decided to simplify which allows complete use of the Tundra bed for storage. We used an Adarac (3 crossbars) rack system which is mounted 12” above the bed rails thus keeping the Autohome’s roof even with the cab roof. This also allows use of the roll up tonneau.
Bathroom trips via the ladder take getting use to but we love it.

Great demostration! I was wondering how you can connect accessoires like the wings and the Awning is connected to the tent? Do you have an idea?

Thank you so much for your videos about the Autohome RTT’s. You’ve allowed me to find the quality ‘home’ I’ve been looking for. Much appreciated 😁, so I’ve just subscribed. Given their price (albeit value for money). How secure are they to the roof racks in terms of security from opportunistic thieves. I’ve had trailers full of work equipment stolen, door locks on trailers broken etc. Having something else broken or stolen would be very upsetting. I read that RTT’s are sought after. Could extra locks be attached anywhere? I wish we lived in a world where these things didn’t happen but….

Happy travels to you and your family!

Thanks for the showcase of the airtop. I noticed when you pulled up the mattress it looked like some kind of grey mesh. Does that come standard or something you installed post purchase?

Cheers mate!

How does it do in a moderately strong wind? One reviewer from the US showed a video in which the Airtop was bending to the side.

Hi, thanks for the video. I have two little kids and want to sleep with them in the tent. Is ist possible that they fall out of the tent while sleeping? The door has no zipper at the bottom just the velcro closure.I fear that that they can slip through it...thanks for answering.

The Columbus variant in small and medium have an universal rail system built into the bottom to attach to the crossbars, does this have same system?

Can you please link a site for a California purchaser to be able to buy your amazing product?!

thanks, love these tents and looking for either the box shaped or the columbus variant… not really sure yet. For a 210cm long version, could you get away with 2 of the front runner roof bars? Or will this be too unstable? Or what's the reason you went with 3?
