The 2024 version of the Columbus Variant has Airtex Gray or Carbon fabric and versatile opening: this roof tent has a large rear window and can be customised in numerous ways. Ventilation and light is excellent, without compromising privacy.
The modular nature of the openings and further features of the Columbus Variant give you the opportunity to enjoy the pleasures of outdoor life, without sacrificing the comfort of the best roof tents on the market, original Autohome models which have made the history of extreme camping. Like all roof tents in the range, Columbus Variant is made with high-quality materials that guarantee strength and comfort.

• Fabric: AIRTEX® made in Germany
• Opening and closing: 2 gas springs of just the right size, suitable for any temperature.

The tents fit within the car’s outline without exceeding the width of the side mirrors: for overnight stays even in public and parking areas. this means being able to stay anywhere, without having to stop only at campsites.

• A pleasant appearance and extraordinarily quick opening and closing.
• Of course, the inner height of 150 cm is what is appreciated most: it makes it easy to move around, get up, kneel and change clothes.
• If you are tall, the Columbus X-Long is perfect (length 2.30 instead of the standard 2.10). This model sells well for minibuses and vans, or whenever a little extra comfort is required.
• The aerodynamic design of the shell is particularly appreciated: the same shell as used for the Maggiolina Airlander.
• Top Airtex is a latest generation fabric made in Germany, lightweight, compact, leaving more space inside the shell when the tent is closed: more space for night and travel accessories or for the open air.
• Highly waterproof, with excellent transmission of heat to the outside due to the lightweight fabric.
• Fabric with protected and small number of stitches in the right places and without wrinkling or curling.
• AUTOHOME. When experience makes all the difference.
