Let's talk Rooftop Tents

[mudski]

There's a guy with an Amarokk that has 2 RTTs fitted on top, living near me. Ones on the canopy , the other on roof.
Just doesn't look right and I'm sure the weight is out of spec you'd think.
But the thing always looks muddy and beaten up , and it's been like it for ages, so he's not afraid to use it and seems to be holding on ok.

As much as I love the idea of a RTT. Surely they would make any vehicle fail a swerve test. Some vehicles you see these fitted too and I'm thinking surely thats not safe.

Maybe it's sicaflexed on? I hear that stuff is amazing for solar panels

Yeah I love them but I hate them.
Was it on one of our Tallarook trips where one dislodged off the roof? His GU dropped into a rut and the sideways jolt/whiplash , whatever you wanna call it, literally made the rtt dislodge off the roof channels.
He drove home with 2 ratchet straps through rear windows and around his roof.

My RTT has been up there for 10 years & over 200,000 km`s with no problems. Don`t even remember it`s there most of the time when driving. Only downside is it won`t fit through the Macca`s drive through.

That's a good thing, you're definitely not missing out on anything
