Maggi Roof Tent on D4

Guys,

I've just bought a Maggi Safari and am planning in mounting it on the 2x standard D4 roof bars.

Anyone done it, and are they strong enough with just two or should I be looking at a third bar for the front?

Cheers

Hi.
Yeah I did it and it was fine.
Like you I wanted to put an extra bar in the middle for support but it was fine with 2.

There is no need for the third cross bar, as there are built-in steel railings which support the tent. However, it is advised to use the crossbars of the same width as the tent, which is not the case of the original LR crossbars. I had to replace them with Thule.

Good point! Thumbs Up

Mine was the 1300mm wide version so was ok.

The support rails were well within the bar width.

Just one more thing - it would not be possible to add the third cross bar anyway, as the fixing points on the Maggiolina are way off the edges (limited to the extent of the built-in steel railings).

i have seen rhino bars on the standard roof rails for the magg's - 3 should only be needed for hardcore off roading apparently, but when getting 2 you may aswell get the 3rd
