Re: Vehicle Roof Top Tents
As per the X-Trail Owners Manual on page 2-14:
“The fashion rail is designed to carry loads (luggage plus crossbars) below 100kg (221lb). Overloading may cause damage to the vehicle.”
So looks like one light weight adult only

Re:
Hi Paul,
Just as long as you keep the weight below that of the roof racks load limit, you should be fine.

Re:
Depends on your exy model (helpful to have your exy model in your signature to avoid getting asked about this every time) and the type of rails, my OE Nissan sports/aero rails says 80kg is the limit. It was stamped on top of one of the rails which I didn't see before because I didn't climb up that high.

This still looks very low to me especially when these roof tents come with a weight of themselves of an average of 65 kg, add the weight of 2 people when stationary and you are quickly exceeding all of the limits suggested.
The weight limit applies to being mobile. Not stationary. No roof has a mobile load rating that would carry a roof tent and two heavy adults.

Re:
If If you want low-profile you'll need to look at the rtt's with a fiberglass shell instead of of canvas. Most fiberglass tents are the type that wind up and down, with the fiberglass shell being the floor/roof with canvas walls. Whereas canvas rtt's usually have a bulky aluminum frame that folds out when set up. I personally have a canvas rtt and can't speak highly enough of it, although its' lack of a low profile does affect fuel economy. Canvas varies from $700-$2000. I'm yet to see a fiberglass-type tent for less than $2000, but its been a while since I researched prices.
