So my wife and I recently both got into school system jobs and will have the summers to travel. We're thinking of driving to Alaska from Missouri this summer and are trying to decide what to drive. We'll either take my truck with our Tepui RTT or replace her current DD (Ford Focus) for some kind of softroader that we could put the RTT on top of.
The question I'm looking for help with is: Would a 100lb RTT be too much weight for a typical (Yakima, Thule, etc) roof rack on a car? The specs on most of those racks say 160lbs weight limit but I see plenty of pictures of tents on Subarus and such. Are people overloading their racks? I don't want to buy a different car and destroy the roof driving it to AK. Any thoughts?
