RTT mounting to bed cap /canopy

I just ordered a new Tepui Autana sky 3 from REI and looking into mounting options. I have a 2nd gen Colorado with an ARE bed cap. They're rated for 200lbs dynamic loading. The RTT is 130 without the annex. So I should be well within the weight capacity once I add a roof rack. I'm looking at from the box options from Rhino Rack or Yakima. Does someone have a recommendation on a roof rack?

There's still something ominous about mounting a lot of weight and sleeping top of a fiberglass shell. So I'm reserving the custom option to an internal frame if I'm seeing signs of excessive stress.

Thanks!

Sweet thanks! The rack companies and cap dealers won't really recommend mounting to the cap even though it's rated for it.
