That is a very good point. I belive that kevlar is great stuff --- wore it in
the Army all the time. The basic point is to reinforce the fake mounts. Any
system that spreads out the weight over a wider area would be the best.

You could mount a metal plate Inside and outside of the camper shell,
longer/wider than the fake gutter with a few extra holes in it to distribute
the weight alittle bit more. If we were talking a great amount of weight I
would look at three or four mounts instead of just two.
