Has anyone tried one of those roof-top tents on their Tig?
It looks like a neat design, but I have concerns. The max weight rating of the Tig’s roof rails is 100kg’s, and these units on their own seem to be up to around 80kg’s. On my own I’m another 120kg, and then there’s my girlfriend (whose weight I won’t mention as I value my life!).
From what I’ve read, the weight ratings for the roof rails is the travelling weight and that they are capable of handling a lot more when static on level ground. Reading through this FAQ seems to confirm that, but they kind of have a vested interest in saying what they do:

I would like to know if anyone has first hand experience with one of these on their Tig, or at least has used them on similar vehicles to the Tig.
