Would my voyager low profile full rack work with something like a a big eeziawn series 3 or family roof top tent? Would I have to support it from under? Could I just mount it to the side bars?
Here is another shot with some flooring, but just to show its shape a little more.
Also, do you think the way this rack is currently mounted to the roof is good? could it be better? Its mounted using 8 bolts that have ~10mm heads which go through some metal spacer tubes (those are really solid) straight into the roof mount points. They don't have a ton of side to side support, they really just sit on those spacers against the mount points. They are only a few mm away from the roof glass. I dont worry about the straight down load (other than the roof loading in general). I just worry about using it for a tent and if it can handle the abuse?
I know I can easily load this rack up with gear, or me, or whatever and it doesn't flinch, doesnt bend at all... im just looking for opinions on this and what you guys think of how this looks in terms of load handling, safety, risk... thanks!!!
