Ladder Rack Solution for Carrying Weight of Two Campers on Roof Rack Tent
Question:
Im interested in the Yakima outdoorsman 300 compact. I want to add a roof tent to it but am unsure about the weight limit. The tent weighs 140 lbs. Ill be using it with my girlfriend. Our combined weight is 290 lbs. Would we be ok with the Yakima outdoorsman or should I go with the tracrac tracone my second option? Thanks for your help.

Expert Reply:
For your application you'd need to go with a TracRac ladder rack instead as they have much higher weight capacities at 800 lb for example with the # TH27000XT whereas the Yakima crossbars are much lower in capacity at around 165 lbs.
