We carry ours in our bedroom. We have a rear bedroom with an outside door and are able to lay them on the bed at an angle. Works great but would like to carry them outside also. Good luck.

Thanks for the suggestion but my better half wouldn't go with indoor storage. If we're making miles and pull into a Walmart for the night I don't like the idea of having to put the kayaks outside at night or climbing over them if we have to stay put somewhere on a rainy day. Putting them in the bedroom might work if I was just traveling from the house to the lake but that's not what we do. We are planning to spend extended periods on the road so we need to have a place for everything. I'm a bit concerned about the reduced visibility of hanging them over the windshield on the roof of the pickup but that seems to be the only practical solution.

If we need the bedroom while traveling I strap one of the kayaks go the ladder using a chair rack to hold the bottom and six bungee cords to bold it down. The second one then goes I to the living room between the couches next to the bikes. I would love to find a way to make a rack to store them under the fiver in front of the wheels.
