What amount of load would be safe to load inside and on top of a topbox.
I have a 700 TA with a 48l Givi topbox.

Example  :  Gear inside the topbox approximately 7kg.  Two man tent and sleeping bag rolled up and tied down on top of the topbox, also approximately 7kg.  Total weight about 14 to 15kg's.  Will the topbox mounting be able to handle this weight?
Our clothing is packed in the pannier (2 X 21l Givi panniers)

I'm planning a long trip in April, May 2011 to Namibia, mostly camping.  We will be two up (my wife and I).

I could do with some help on this subject, more so on the packing side.

Greetings
