Question:
We have flush side rails.

Helpful Expert Reply:
The Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 49" Long # RRVA126B-2 have a capacity of 165-lbs, which is the highest available for your 2021 Toyota RAV4, so you will be limited to that weight when loading items on the roof rack. Since your Sparrow Adventure XL tent weighs 150-lbs alone, you'll eat up most of the capacity with that.
You will always be limited to the lowest rated component in your setup and in this case it appears that the roof of the RAV4 is only rated for 175-lbs, so there's not really a lot more you can put up there but these crossbars for your 2021 RAV4 are a great choice and Rhino Rack parts have a lifetime limited warranty.
If you can let me know the type of roof your RAV4 has (raised rails, naked, flush rails) I can help you locate all of the parts you'll need to install a roof rack on your vehicle to carry your Roofnest Sparrow.
