Autohome Maggiolina Airlander Plus vs Vickywood CUMARU EASE 135

The Autohome Maggiolina Airlander Plus and the Vickywood CUMARU EASE 135 are both hardshell tents in the same part of the market, which makes them a genuine head-to-head rather than a comparison across categories. Autohome and Vickywood take noticeably different approaches to the same problem.

On weight they are effectively level — 72 kg against 69 kg — so the roof load question resolves the same way for both. Floor area is close to identical at 2.47 m² and 2.6 m², so neither wins on sleeping room. Headroom separates them further: 145 cm in the CUMARU EASE 135 against 92 cm, which is the difference between sitting up to dress and doing it lying down. Autohome does not publish a list price for the Maggiolina Airlander Plus, so a direct cost comparison means getting a quote from a dealer.

They open differently: the Maggiolina Airlander Plus is a pop-up and the CUMARU EASE 135 a clamshell. That is not cosmetic — it decides whether headroom is even across the tent or tapers towards one end, and how much of the roof the tent occupies when closed. The Maggiolina Airlander Plus uses 100% fiberglass with insulated honeycomb roof panel; the CUMARU EASE 135 uses aluminum 6 Series. Canvas differs too: dralon acrylic, waterproof and breathable against recycled 320 g/m2 ripstop polyester, PU-coated; rainfly 420D Oxford polyester, 5,000 mm water column, UV 50+. The CUMARU EASE 135 adds a roof skylight and the ability to carry cargo on the shell, which the Maggiolina Airlander Plus does not offer. Closed, the CUMARU EASE 135 sits 5 cm lower on the roof — 25 cm against 30 cm — which is drag you carry on every mile you are not camping.
