Roof top dimensions and tents

[nfpgasmask]

Doug, you should also look into the max weight the VX roof rails are designed to support. Technically, my RTT could be attached to my VX as well. All you need are horizontal crossbars. The instructions for my tent recommend at least 3 crossbars, and the VX only has two. I also think that the tent, plus gear and two people might severely exceed the roof weight limits, so you might look into that as well. Personally, I don't really think the VX is a great platform for a RTT, but I have seen Mini Coopers and plenty of Subarus with RTTs.

Yeah, I'm looking into the weight as well. I don't know anyone who would sleep in the thing with me, so that eliminates at least 100+ pounds, and I was considering the investment in the Columbus Carbon Fiber model (but yikes $$$$$!!).

It's all conceptual right now, and dimensions and weights could make it a short consideration...which is why I sent out the favor request for measurements.
