Those two front runner bars have handled the weight of the tent and someone in it no problem? I see on the site that they’re only “rated” for 50 lbs per bar.

Love the set up- how close are you to hitting your max payload capacity on this? I drive an F150- Heavy Duty Tow package- planning to carry two kayaks on Thule Hullavators, two bikes, bike rack, Dometic CFX75, Weber Traveller BBQ, two adults and a big dog- by the time I add on the Smart Cap and all the gear, I am within 50lbs of my max payload, which is unfortunate as I really wanted to include a cargo bed slide, but I just don’t have the capacity

I think all toppers get hot in the summer. Not sure how it compares with other toppers. This is my first one. I just open the windows on both sides to get some air flowing inside as I'm driving. I wouldn't leave anything that could get ruined by heat in there.

Great set up. Thanks for sharing. I have two questions I'm hoping you might know the answer to. I am deciding between getting the RSI Smartcap for the back of my 5.5' F150 bed, with the Roofnest Sparrow2 pop up hard cover tent on top that does not need the ladder for added support but does partially extend over the top of the cab, or getting the Diamondback HD bed cover, with the Front Runner 6" high rack on top of that, with the Roofnest Condor2 side opening tent that uses a ladder for part of it's support but remains at or below the roofline of the cab. My question for you, if I get the RSI Smartcap and mount the Roofnest Sparrow2 pop tent on top, such that it would partially extend over the top of the cab, do you know how quiet it would be, and how much it might decrease average mpg on long drives? Oh, and any issues with leaks? I really want to keep the interior fully dry if at all possible, no matter how hard the rainstorm or snowstorm, and ideally even if I use a carwash. Thanks.
