Hey folks,

Need a bit opinions and advice please.

Owner manuals allow 100kg for max roof weight. I purchased a roof tent 95kg (Kings Australia) and racks are 15kg. Totally dynamic weight at the roof exceeding of manufacture maximum recommendations 100kg. A static weight is not problems, as 3x more weight allowance. Does 110kg makes fatal problems for driving abilities and stability, damages for vehicle perhaps?Anybody experiences about it ? Regards Kai

Before converting our van we had a roof tent and storage rack which totalled 85 kgs and didn’t make any significant difference to the van’s handling etc. The problem would be if the overload came to light following an accident or other incident when there could be issues with insurance etc.
