Helpful Expert Reply:
The weight rating of the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer # Y08129 is 350-lbs, however with your tent weighing 160-lbs, and your combined weight between the two of you being close to 280-lbs, you're going to be overloading the crossbars.
Luckily, Yakima has already come up with a solution to fix this issue. Take a look at the:
-SkyRise Tent Kit for Yakima EasyRider Trailer # Y08127 with the Yakima SkyRise HD Tent for Roof Rack Crossbars # Y07437; Or, you can use the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer with SkyRise HD Tent Y08129-3627 which already comes with both the tent kit and the SkyRise 2 person tent.
With use of the tent kit, the static capacity of the trailer comes to 1,100-lbs, and the SkyRise has a maximum capacity of 600-lbs.
As far as using a Thule tent system, you can absolutely use one with the crossbars on the EasyRider trailer.
