Could Thule Xsporter Ladder Rack Be Used with Roof Top Tent
Question:
Hello, i was wondering if anyone has used this Thule xporter truck roof rack system with a rooftop tent. Lower position for transporting it, then raising it up once at camp so you can use the annex properly. My tent is just over . 100 pounds, just wondering how manageable it might be to raise it up while still mounted. Thank you.

Expert Reply:
Ladder racks are great solutions for roof rack style tents. They have higher capacities than roof racks and typically much wider bars too which helps. I was able to find several pictures online of people doing this as well but for proprietary reasons I can't post them here.
You wouldn't want to try to raise and lower the ladder rack with the tent installed though as that will be dangerous.
