    Weight Loading

    Does anyone know what the recomended weight loading is of a fender 130 dual cab roof? and would anyone be game to mount a roof top tent up there with two adults in it? have just brought one and need two know if i'm going to have to mount a roof rack on the canopy or if i can just mount it to the cab and save a few bucks.
    Cheers from the Desert

    I don't know the roof loading limits but I think that you will find that a roof top tent with two adults in it is way over any vehicles roof load limit.

    The roof load limit must be based on having to handle and brake suddenly etc without ripping the roof off. However when stationary they can hold much more. I haven't seen anyone with a crushed roof from their tent yet
