I have just purchased a roof top tent and although my existing rhino aero bars will take it I would like to get my second spare on the roof.
The steel rack to fit a roof top weighs about 50kg and with the tent I will be close to the max. roof capacity of 100kg without the second spare.
My idea is to purchase a new Rhino Pioneer Alloy Platform which will fit the existing Rhino HD legs of the areos (the platform is cheaper that the steel rack)
With the tent at 40kg , the platform at 23kg and the spare at 28kg I will be under the limit- enough for a tooth brush and jocks up there
As I will be opening the tent to the rear I will have to overhang the back of the platform by some 100mm to fit the spare at the front.
Has anyone done this combination? How OK it the Rhino platform?
Feed back appreciated :idea:
