FAQ/PRODUCTS
ANSWERS TO FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Everything you need to know before choosing an AUTOHOME® rooftop tent.

1. Why should I buy an Autohome?

Autohome is not “number 1” by chance.
Because Autohome knows how to bring together imagination and the quality of “Made in Italy”.
Because Autohome does everything possible to give you a restful sleep.

Every Autohome tent is the result of the experience and advice of famous travellers. A marriage of our skills with theirs to create a complete range of tents.
Quality, reliability, comfort and a large number of accessories.
Because Autohome does everything not to disappoint.

2. What is the maximum load on the roof?

In general, in the Countries belonging to the European Community, the rating given by the manufacturers is not a binding Law but an advice for safety during travel: while breaking, on an akward or curvy road. The load weight of 75 kg. is respected according to the tent chosen.
The lightest Autohome products are the carbon fibre shell tents, which in comparison to the traditional glass fibre (GRP) are on average 10 kg lighter.
Please respect the maximum allowed load on the roof, usually indicated on the vehicle instructions.

3. My wife and I, together weigh more than 200 kg. Do we exceed the maximum permitted load?

Normally the car roof structure can take its own weight as it is crash tested.
If the fitting is done correctly, neither the vehicle nor its occupants risk any damages.

4. Can I set up the tent on my own?

Normally two people are needed.
With the space saving kit to hang the tent from the ceiling it is possible for one person to mount the tent, using a pulley that raises and lowers the tent on the roof of the vehicle.

More > Space-saving Kit

5. Are all the Autohome roof top tents the same quality?

Quality is standard with all Autohome roof tents. Tents used by professional rally raid teams and explorers are exactly the same as the products bought and used by the general public.

6. What speed can I travel at with a tent on the roof?

Provided that the roof top tent is fitted according to instructions and closed, we suggest to travel at a speed of about 90-100 km/h with the side closing tents with travel cover, and at a speed of about 130 km/h with the shell tents without any extra load on their roof.We know that many customers travel at higher speed. However, higher speed strain the roof racks on the attaching points to the vehicle

7. Can you lock a tent?

It is possible to put locks on a GRP or Carbon Fibre shell roof tent if required, but opening a Maggiolina roof tent without the handle is exceptionally difficult given the time most opportunist thieves may have. In all the thousands of roof tents we’ve sold over the years, no one has ever mentioned a roof tent being opened or disassembled by thieves!

8. How can I be sure the fabric is breathable?

Everyone claims their fabrics are breathable but you can check to see if it true quite easily.
Hold part of the fabric against your mouth, with your hand behind it, and blow hard against it.
If you can feel the air passing through to your hand the fabric is breathable.
But just as important is the transmission of water vapour, which – according to Autohome quality standards – should be no lower than 350 g/m²/day. Only breathability or rapid transmission speeds can prevent the tent building up condensation and so provide a healthy fresh environment. Be careful!

9. I am travelling to Scotland and it will certainly pour down with rain. Is the tent suitable for use in these weather conditions?

All roof tents meet a minimum waterproofing standard (measured by “water column”) of 250 mm for the ‘vertical fabric’ and 600 mm for the ‘horizontal fabric’. The water column is the weight/pressure of water, in millimetres, in a vertical column on the fabric over a certain given area. Such values are certified through UNI EN 20811 tests.

10. How much load can I put on the shell?

The range includes well-designed ad hoc models with a cavity for extra loads.
Generally, if the vehicle can take the load (see the handbook), the shell can be loaded with 25 kg; less (max. 15 kg) if there are no roof rails.

11. Are all the Autohome roof top tents the same quality?

Quality is standard with all Autohome roof tents. Tents used by professional rally raid teams and explorers are exactly the same as the products bought and used by the general public.c
