What are dynamic and static loads?
This tent needs a 80 kg load capacity, a so-called "dynamic" load, i.e. when the vehicle is moving. When the vehicle is stationary, the maximum static load capacity is much higher.
To offer peace of mind, when installed and stationary, your rooftop rack can support the rooftop tent, as well as the weight of people inside (250 kg max. load in the rooftop tent).
