That being said, lots of people be doin it so it must be possible haha.
The load ratings for most bars are for when your driving, so if your tent is within that rating. Then you will be more than capable to climb in with an extra 300 lbs (two people) when the car/truck is stationary.

Now if you are getting a rack on a truck or something, I'd always suggest something heavier duty.
