Hey all,
TL;DR: wondering if this is normal for an RTT up on a rack in the back, as viewed from the rear bed cam:
More detail:
I just got a great deal on a like new iKamper 3.0 Mini ($2k!) and was very excited to get it attached to my (yes, cheap) bed rack. It went up fine, and I've laid in it with my son (16 years old, not sure exact weight, but slim) and I (240 lbs) and it feels very solid. I'm not afraid it's going to collapse or anything, and the rack says it's rated for 500 lbs dynamic and 1000 lbs static. I take these values with a grain of salt, since it's clearly a cheap rack. To be honest, I've been very happy with the rack, and think it looks and works fine. Yes, I could spend $2k and get an Kuat Ibex or whatever, but I've spent so much already on the truck I'm trying to save some dollars on the accessories.
" Crafted from premium heavy-duty steel plate, this rack is exceptionally sturdy, capable of supporting 1000 pounds of weight when statically distributed and 500 pounds when in motion. It features a textured black powder coating for corrosion resistance and long-lasting durability. "
The RTT now completely blocks my rear bed camera, which sucks, but I was a bit shocked the first time I popped the camera on and noticed the tent bouncing around what feels a bit aggressively.
Previously, I had some rifle cases up there and did not notice this bounce:
Now I've got the RTT up there:
Any help or insight would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
