Kayaks inside TH
We just got a 2016 Vengeance 25V and our toys are (4) 10' kayaks.
How do y'all carry kayaks in the TH garage ... or does anyone? Since we did not get the power lift bunk system for the rear, we have plenty of height and length also.
Some "requirements" ...
1. The kayaks are a step up from entry level, 1 seat, plastic, 9.5'. Similar to the one's you'd see at a large sporting good store. They are not Kevlar or wood, just simple plastic.
2. Our 2 boys need to be able to sleep inside on the fold down sofa things or sleeping bag/camp pads, like when on a several day drive to get to our destination, while the kayaks are still inside. This means the kayaks will need to be suspended off the floor somehow.
3. It needs to disassemble fairly easily/quickly so we can use the inside while set up at campsites and I don't want to futz around with it instead of camping.
4. I was thinking of somehow spanning the inside width with Kindorf and strap the kayaks on top but I don't know how to "cleanly" attach the Kindorf to the walls ... it needs to look decent. It'd be easy to do if I didn't care how it looked.
5. A rack that sits on the floor would interfere with some upper cabinets and, I'd think that it'd take up a lot of room while traveling and when broken down into it parts while camping.
6. I'm thinking the walls can easily support this kind of weight. The 4 kayaks weigh ~168 lbs. together.
Please don't tell my DW that I posted this ... I wouldn't make it through the night!
Thoughts?
