    Once again coming to tacomaworld for the best advice out there... so I've been looking into awnings and RTT to mount on my Prinsu roof rack (I have a 2022 DCLB). I have seen plenty of pictures and threads where people have done one or the other, but not both. My bed is open and I plan to keep it that way, as I use it for hauling dirtbikes quite often and need the clearance. I don't want a bed rack.

    Models I was specifically looking at were the
    "180° COMPACT PEREGRINE AWNING 2.0 WITH LIGHT SUPPRESSION TECHNOLOGY"
    And the
    "WALKABOUT™ 2.0 SOFTSHELL ROOFTOP TENT SERIES"
    (Probably just the 62 inch)

    Does anyone see any issues with the roof tent and the awning mounting at the same time? Or have pictures I'd they have done it?

    I'm not opposed to having to go with one or the other, or mounting and unmounting as needed because they will be for different purposes but really liked both of these products from my research. And can anyone speak to MPG or driving feel with the RTT mounted on your prinsu roof rack rather than your bed rack? Thanks guys!

    Man that is alot of weight up high. I had about 150lbs on my prinsu and in 2 v800 boxes with a treeline 6.5' awning +lights. It's super convenient but you notice it's there. Cornering sucks power loss sucks fuel economy really sucks. I gained back 3L/100km when I removed my rack for warranty. Really struggling with putting it back on right now.
