Tent carrying
DannyG:
My initial thoughts are that it is a bit expensive but having gone to the site and looked at the racks I think they are probably on the money.
You could do it a bit cheaper of course but perhaps the quality won't be there. I think most canopies these days have the internal frame dont they?
It would be nicer if they utilised the rail in the cars roof as well for that extra load sharing support and not just on a fibreglass or plastic canopy.

Not sure about that.
My understanding is that there's movement between the cabin and tub. Securing to both might break or bend something.
I could be wrong... it does happen ;)

I have one of their flat steel racks on my MUX.
I can't fault it. Well worth the coin.
