Sh$t Ricof4e, daar gaan staan ek en delete jou hele comment, sorry man!
Geen probleem.

But I must (politely) ask you to take those bars immediately off. When you start driving, my dogs start howling at the whistling noise it makes.

They whistle like crazy over 80km/h BUT, with the tent and Gazebo on the bars it’s quiet.

The were outstanding for the Job Woolf but:

1. When loaded the noise level is very low and easily tolerable. They are very sturdy!
2. When not loaded the noise levels are very irritating if you drive more than 200km

So when I got home, I took them off and they will be used perhaps 1x per year

SO you actually inspired me to get a set of load bars on the Chinaman. Loads and Loads of wind noise, so I swapped out for smaller bars that don't stick out on the side and moved them back by about 45mm and they are whisper quiet! Mounted the awning, and it makes a bit of a whistle, but only in direct headwind.
