“We just used our new Columbus Carbon Fiber tent on our recent trip to Baja. We took your advice, and fitted the inside with a pillow top, sheets and a quilt – fantastic comfort! My wife now PREFERS the Columbus to sleeping in motels – it’s that comfortable. The tent is very simple to set up and pops up in a couple of seconds. We don’t even notice the tent on top of the Toyota – even at highway speeds. A terrific product, please refer people to me if you need a reference.”

“A definite thumbs up on the Maggiolina and Overcamp tents. We used them on a two-month romp around West Africa last year. I have to say that they performed brilliantly. We used three Overcamps and a Maggiolina Adventure model. … both are absolutely excellent products.”

In addition, Rich gave us incredible support in preparing for the trip. He sent us extra ladders (you need the longer of the two ladders they offer for the Overcamp for use on top of a Land Rover), some spare bits (which we didn't need) as well as mounting ideas and tips on keeping them working well. A great guy, a great company to deal with and a great product.

“Had chance to use the new Maggiolina AirLand this past weekend – We were in the 90 degree heat as well as 38 degree cold – The tents performance was excellent. Easy to set up (just a quick cranking lifts the tent) The tent comes with a firm foam mattress (very comfortable for two adults) and two pillows (also comfortable) – The inside is roomy with plenty of ventilation. In the cold climate we zipped up and stayed warm just from body heat. There is ample room for storing the bedding when closed. With the tent in the closed position and it’s very aerodynamic design, driving down the road you hardly notice you have a tent mounted. Now with this tent I have less gear to load and store, leaving room for other gear. All in all – a superior purchase and a fine edition to traveling.”

“Did I mention that I love this tent?”

“We've had our AutoHome Columbus for 2 years now and still love it.  We got it for a month long trip to Alaska, and slept in it every night.  It was so nice to just pop the top and camp was basically set up.  It was great because several of the camp sites we went to were for RV's only, no tent camping, and they let us in—the worlds smallest RV.  Anyway here's a pic of it in Aspen before we left.  Wonderful product.”

“Not sure if you remember me… First thing I want to say is thank you. Thank you, thank you thank you. I never dreamed when I purchased the Maggiolina that what I would be getting was a home on wheels. The tent has proven itself, and in some ways paid for itself (I drove across the country, from California to Mass. and didn't spend a cent on hotel rooms) I timed how long it took me to pop it up. 38 seconds. I would like to see someone set up a tent that fast. It got me through 100+ deg, 45mph wind at burning man without even trying, and then in Vermont it took negative 10 in a hail storm – blizzard with nothing more then a 40° sleeping bag and a small sportscat heater. This thing is a dream."

“Thank you again for the outstanding customer service. Meeting me out there and hooking me up the way you did was well beyond any other service I have received in the past.”
