Excellent build . If i recall correctly the maximum load on the standard roofbars is 35kg due to the plastic brackets holding them to the roof, so it could be worth modifying them to avoid losing the rooftent (in a worse case scenario ).

Yeah I think some custom brackets would be a good investment and the mentioned four bars across , great set up

I really appreciate the info wombat. I had heard about them being plastic before. I just didn't believe it, as mine are metal. I had to go and check to make sure. I'm the 5th owner of the car, and I know it has had things up there before, and it has been heavy. Some solid clamps that have been on there. And I know they are metal, because some of the paint has come off.
Still, awesome info wombat
Daniel30. Yeah, it really is something I want. It's either that, or a roof rack I found, that is basically a frame to place the RTT on, but it has a small "balcony" to place fuel cans. It would be a great solution if I wanted to make the car properly top heavy. Hit a round-about a bit fast, and end up as front page news.

That's a pretty sweet light weight setup. I do have a tarp, that I attach in much the same way.
That garage you have there, I'm jealous!
Right now, I'm working on plans for my next build. A lot more details etc.
