We usually travel with 4 bikes on a Thule hitch rack. Now looking to add 2 kayaks. How/ where do you store kayaks whether inside or outside of your C.?
I use a Yakima trailer - pricey but really nice to use - saves lifting boats overhead and can also be set up to carry bikes.
I also have a good inflatable kayak (Gumotex Framura) that will fit in the rear compartment for those times when I want a kayak handy but don't want to pull the trailer.
I can also put kayaks on the roof of my Jeep when I take that along as a toad.
