Product: Air-Camping - Roof Top Tents - Autohome
THE ORIGINAL BY AUTOHOME®

Textile roof top range.
Air-Camping is a synonym of roof top tents in fabric. Originally patented in 1959, and since 1961 has held an International Brand Patent.Sometimes it happens that a company brand is so well-known that the name refers to an entire product category.
For many years, the name Air-Camping has been improperly used to mean any roof tent in fabric, whatever the shaped, type or origin. In reality the Air-Camping fabric tent is just the one manufactured by Autohome and still made according to the original design and manufacturing processes. A design must manufactured in Italy as defined by a high executive of the purchasing department of a famous car manufacturing company. Air-Camping is the only roof tent with the trademark: fitted with wind-proof windows (for silent nights) easily opened from inside the tent, a mid grey fabric roof with dark blue side panels and yellow mosquito netting protection. Exactly the same colours requested by Nino Cirani, and used for 30 years on his famous vehicle based raids and expeditions.
Purchasing an Air-Camping roof top tent gives you guaranteed access to 50 years’ experience of desert, jungle and glaciers, where every component has been tested in extreme conditions.
No marketing strategy required, just proof of a long-lived pedigree of surviving in the field.
Air-Camping: to live a magical adventure to the full.

FABRIC QUALITY: MORE ADVANTAGES, LESS WIND

The most important thing about a tent is obviously the fabric and with AIR-CAMPING by Autohome you can be sure you are getting the best there is. The superior quality is provided not only by the density of the material, able to guarantee insulation against the heat, cold and bad weather, but also by the stability it gives to the tent.




THE FABRIC DOES NOT BLOW IN THE WIND AND DOES NOT GENERATE TURBULENCE,
IT IS STABLE AND SILENT

The density also helps to make the tent silent even when buffeted by the wind: there is no noisy flapping or turbulence.
The special Air-Camping fabric is manufactured exclusively by Autohome with features that are able to match up to the toughest military specifications. As unlike conventional and unreliable fabrics – common in the mass market and discount stores - as possible.

ADVANTAGES OF THE AIR-CAMPING FABRIC, ONE BY ONE...

1.The fabric is structurally highly performing and dense, guaranteeing maximum density for the tent even if it is 2 metres above ground.

2. It is breathable and does not require the support of additional bulky sheeting. These are generally used only to hide condensation inside the tent, without reducing it (something non-experts may not immediately realize).

3. It does not flap or make a noise in the wind or a morning breeze, guaranteeing a peaceful night and pleasant awakening.

4. With the Air-Camping fabric, everything is flush to the walls of the tent, preventing the irritating “sail” effect in windy conditions.

5. The windows can be opened and closed even staying in bed.

6. No “balloon/ball effect” because the roof is stable, sewn tightly to the walls. No “flying” and no flapping.

For anyone sleeping well above ground these are vital features.
And that is not all…

7. In the evening, with the internal light on, no disturbing rays enter the tent; the thick, compact fabric provides maximum privacy. So, no peeping either.

8. At sunrise, the fabric remains dark, so you can stay in bed as long as you want.

For all of the reasons set out above, Air-Camping fits an UNDOUBTEDLY SUPERIOR RANGE OF FABRICS.

The closed tent can contain 2,3 or 4 pillows, depending on the model, and night-time accessories.
For example, a rucksack and blankets can be fitted inside the tent, so they don’t take up room in the boot or inside the vehicle.

C.

When choosing a roof tent, the height is important because it shows how much room there is inside and how easy it is to move about, hence the comfort.
Even just a few centimetres more or less make a big difference: everything has been calculated to ensure that a person of average height (170-190 cm) can sit comfortably without the head coming close to the ceiling.
The overall length of 220 cm provides optimum comfort.

D.

The width (SMALL /MEDIUM /LARGE) depends on the number of occupants.
The windows are big enough to give an excellent view and small enough not to compromise privacy.

E.

Standard bases include 2 strong C-shaped steel bars to hook the tent onto the vehicle roof rails, using the clamps supplied.
All small and medium models have Standard or Explorer opening, with pre-fitted “C” guides (specify Explorer with the order). For Explorer, the guides are moved to the holes on the Overland floor.

INDEPENDENT VERANDAH
(FOR CARS)

Art. OL/04A - cm 200 x 200 x h 240

According to our testers’ experience, we have understood that also Overland verandah shall be independent.
Living & sleeping areas are communicating but at the same time separate rooms: it is the best solution to get a freedom of movement and at the same time a standing point of reference where tables, chairs, barbecue, food and drinks, etc. ... are kept.

Should the standing time be longer, the tent becomes a well-structured, comfortable and safe module, (art OL/06A) to go camping in a traditional way; this is possible thanks to its ground feet.

The framework is constructed from round anodised aluminium poles.

DRIVE CALM AND SLEEP PEACEFULLY

Safety is priceless for us at Autohome and for this reason our research and development centre has always worked on two fronts: first to guarantee "no problem journeys" and second to ensure "peaceful nights".

PEACEFUL NIGHTS

The same attention we paid to dynamic security was also given to the quality of sleep. First choice materials, accurate finishes, attention to details mean that in the Autohome tent you sleep in a real bed, insulated from the heat and cold and soundproofed from rain noise.

NO PROBLEM JOURNEYS

The same attention we paid to dynamic security was also given to the quality of sleep. First choice materials, accurate finishes, attention to details mean that in the Autohome tent you sleep in a real bed, insulated from the heat and cold and soundproofed from rain noise.

WARNING

The roof tent is a load subject to dynamic stress when driving on the road and like any other load outside the vehicle must be firmly anchored and give a guarantee of safety, in order not to become a hazard. Autohome roof tents are made of the best materials to be solid and robust, able to withstand the stresses of the asphalt and the aerodynamic drag of the wind.
