    Has anyone found good information on the load limits (static and dynamic) for bed caps? I'm looking for a cap that can handle load bars, and take the weight of a four-person RTT such as made by Cascadia Vehicle Tents (http://www.cascadiatents.com/CVT-Mt-Adams-Roof-Top-Tents-(RTT).htm?m=87&&id=158). I like the ARE CX model but can't find good information on just how much weight it can hold.

    I have a CX model and was told by the dealer it can hold about 200lbs

    If you are going to put one of the tents on top I would reccomend calling the manufacturer and talking to one of their reps as they could probably give you a specific load rating
