Does anyone know the max weight for a ARE topper? Or how much weight have you guys put on your topper?

My Snugtop with the "Sportsman Package" allows for a roof capacity of 500 lbs. Snugtops without the Sportsman Package (along with most other brands) I believe only are rated to 250-275 lbs.

A.R.E fiberglass topper. was thinking about purchasing some racks to hold 2 kayaks and a pull out awning. but before I did I wanted to make sure the topper could support that much weight.
