It's not published to my recollection. There is YT video of Arnold at Flagstaff I think a few years ago where he talks about the destructive testing that have done on the panels. When you look at the options, one of which is a full size 35 - 37 inch spare tire on the back you can hang a lot of weight on those panels. I would say you would max out your rear axle rating with the sum of the camper and typical supplies onboard plus weight on the panels before maxing out any theoretical weight limit on those molle panels.
Best answer, call or write Arnold at OEV.

Has anyone who added the underbed storage to their Camp-X/BC found that it caused any issues w/ closing the lid?

We added it to our Camp-x. We had to remove the handle from the hinge. It wasn't a bit deal because we had already installed a strap for closing it. I think it raises the mattress 3 inches.

Thanks! Yeah, I had folks mention that as an issue without the storage (the handle hitting bedding) so it concerned me a little. I really think we are going to want/need the underbed storage if find a unit that meets out needs, so I was curious to hear others experiences.

I was opposed to it but it was on my wife's must have list. It is worth every penny. It took less than 2 hours to unbox and install with a power rivet tool. It's a lot of rivets.

Same here... kind of a "wifey want" LOL. We are not tall people, so I was not concerned with the lowered head height in bed, but being the one that will most likely always be raising & lowering the roof, I don't want problems with that process if I can help it.
Also... I covet that rivet tool!! I wanted wanted to splurge on one so bad when I built my Alu-cab, maybe now... ha ha
