The Wilderness rack, that Atlantic British sells, how much weight is that good for holding? I can't remember if I've seen it posted here before or not, but I'd like to do some camping with a roof-top tent if possible this spring/summer/fall. Will it hold 2 people? Or maybe I shouldn't worry about IT holding 2 people, but are the roof drain gutters on a D1 stout enough to hold the weight of two people in a tent on the rack?

Thanks!

I'm not sure how much the rain gutters will hold--all I can say is that I have had the weight of more than two people up at one time with no problems.
As far as camping on it--I recommend it! I did the same thing last December in Big Bend and it worked wonderful. Plus the view in the morning is far better on the rack as opposed to the ground. One recommendation though, don't drink too much in the evening as those midnight trips to find a restroom can be a pain.
