Thinking ahead to the roof rack I want to build, what do you all think about using a roof joist to mount a unistrut roof rack system?

Unistrut: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Superstrut- ... /202714274
Essentially the bracket would be mounted like this (photo courtesy of Drenalin Adventures youtube channel):

And the unistrut would attach to these to form a bar that runs parallel to the side of the camper (as opposed to across). These brackets claim to have 1,870lb floor 'down' load strength and 2,340lb roof 'down' load strength. The purpose of these racks would be to mount things like an awning and potentially a rooftop solar shower.
Other brackets I have seen are 10x the cost or more (without the bar) so this seems like a good option for me - what do you guys think?
