I'm wondering if anyone has used a Tentbox with an A2. I've come across the brand before but only seen one for the first time in the flesh on @timmus yeti at the social over the weekend.
Apparently the load limit for the A2 roof bars is 75KG and the Tentbox lite is 50KG so that works right? But what about the additional weight of people using the tent?
Well this is what Tentbox have to say:
It is common to wonder about the added weight of people inside your TentBox, and how this affects your roof load limit. In short, the roof load limit of your vehicle is for dynamic loads, i.e. when your vehicle is in motion. As people will only be inside your TentBox when your vehicle is stationary, the dynamic load limit is not a relevant figure. The steel frame of your vehicle, which the TentBox sits on, can take hundreds of kilograms of force, as it’s designed to roll in an accident.
So assuming the alu space frame is as strong at steel I'm positing in theory that the Tentbox can be used with an A2.
What do we think?
(Oh and do roof bars fit on an OSS A2?)
