Looks good, only thing I’d say would be to drop the lock for a foldable one, the position would drive me crazy but if it works it works!

balance the weight, ie strap the tent on the handlebar

Just a suggestion from experience/mistake is to replace the upper flat rack struts with solid aluminum round ones. Infinitely stronger. I bent my flat ones on a car bike rack when I strapped the heavy loaded bike down. Yeah I know I shouldn’t have put any stress in the area as it’s not designed for that type of pressure. But it made me realize how fragile the flat struts are compared to round solid versions. I went to a bike store that had a drawer full to choose from. Like [these](https://us.ortlieb.com/products/rack-three-mounting-struts) but there are lots out there.
