RTT on DCSB question

I'll start by saying I've read 100's of pages about tents and how to mount them. Basically I don't want to risk cracking the shell so I'm thinking of mounting it on a prinsu rack over the cab. Question is will the weight of the tent and 3 people be to much over the cab? I've seen plenty done like this but nowhere can I seem to find anything about weight limits. Any help would be appreciated.

 

what shell do you have?

 

It's a leer 100r. I already have the prinsu cabrac on the way.

"A single cross member is strong enough to hold me standing up, but I'm only about 125lb. Good enough for practical purposes."

 

Nice I called and talked to them about the rack and of course they said "yes it's ideal to mount a tent to " I just wanted to make sure I didn't cave the roof in or anything .I know that sounds crazy.

 

nah thats fair B, for 3000 on a cap you better be safe than sorry
did they give you any actual data on load restrictions?
I would estimate 500lbs but thats just me

 

No we didn't talk restrictions. Plus what I've read plenty of people mount them on those racks.
