Roof Top tents

Hi All
Anyone had experience of either Autohome Columbus Variant or James Baroud Discovery Espace tents?

Any recomendations on where to purchase & cost (UK) would also be helpful.

Thanks
Paul

I have an Autohome. It's an Airtop though. Absolutely love it. Used it loads and lent it to friends who love it to. A lot of money but they are awesome things. Only drawback is you lose the entire top of the car for storage.

Someone on a trip I went on had the Columbus and he said it leaked slightly. I've never had an issue with mine and must say not having to wind it up is a plus and the extra head space (vs. the Columbus) is great too.

I was only saying to my dad this weekend that I think it's the best thing I've bought for my car (camping wise) so far.

EDIT: I should say that I was originally looking at the Columbus but with the amount of money you're paying anyway I decided to "upgrade" to the Airtop.
