roof rack weight limit

['Fraid Knot]

I've got a 03 disco with a full length wilderness rack that mounts to the rain gutter. I've been told the weight limit is 200lbs, is that right? If so, how do the racks you can sleep on mount? I'd like to use mine that way. Any advice will be welcome.

If I recall correctly static weight can be up to 1500lbs, but driving weight and/or off roading weight is a lot less, it really depends on how fast you drive...

Thanx that makes more sense.
