syoung said:The one I've got is an AutoHome Maggiolina Extreme. It has a thicker fiberglass shell than the normal ones. It weighs about 93lbs and when closed, it didn't affect my fuel economy compared to the rack alone. It can stand up to torrential rain and high winds without a problem at all, and the interior is completely upholstered- strangely similar to a casket.
One thing where the Hannibal and several others have problems is the metal bars etc inside aren't covered and they'll get covered in condensation and drip on you and your stuff. The Maggiolina lift mechanism is on the ends- not over the mattress (which is 3" thick and REALLY comfy). We're planning to do some cold camping in it later this week.
We looked at all the different lines before selecting which one to carry and this one was expensive, but the best.
About how much $ for the Maggiolina?
