Hello! New Trialmaster owner in NH and looking for rooftop tent/rack reviews.

[BrandonADV]

Yes. I spread the load with three bars, so none of the bars gets a full load. The tent sits on all three, but is bolted to 2, so only when we are in it Is it really loaded. Only one bar gets 1/2 awning (35lbs) and 1/3 tent (71) full time, which is a fraction of its rating. It’s been Moab grade solid- Hells-Wipe out-Porcupine-etc.View attachment 7915007

I now have a 4th bar, on the rain guttersView attachment 7915010, but it is just drive lights.

Thanks! After doing some research, I'm thinking about mimicking your setup. I'm between this and the Alucab ecosystem and raising the 3r with spacers to be able to open the Safari windows. I think the side open tent would fit better though.

I love my Leitner 3/4 rack. Virtually no noise at 80 plus miles per hour. Very slim and low but strong. Easy install. I like that it doesn't clamp to the gutters. If you are doing a rtt, dont make the mistake of doing a roof rack under it. That is a waste of money, weight, and height/wind drag. Do load bars. Love my alucab I have on my 80 series landcruiser. Extremely well build. Probably at the cost of some weight penalty compared to others. I mounted on 3 load bars.
