Good advice from Duck.
Saw a steel Telstra canopy on Gumtree........would have needed a complimentary bottle of rust converter included to make a sale. :-)
Have an alloy canopy on my Landcruiser ute. Maker suggested it would weigh about 400kgs. No worries, I thought! And since them I've added 2 x 120 amphr batteries, a 30 & a 40L fridges, 80L
water tank, cooking gear, 160w solar panel plus 2 spares(235.85R16) and other gear. Crux of it is, a new Landcruiser, with GVM upgrade is on the horizon, just to stay legal.
Seen a lot of utes lately, with slide-on's, and I'd guess at least 60% would be close to, or above their vehicles GVM. Drive safe, and try not to
test your insurance...............
