How to put kayak on top of TC
No, this is not a how-to. It's a "how do you?" I just acquired a 12' polyethylene kayak. There is room on top of my TC to carry it. Any idea how I can get it up there and then secure it for travel? ...

Thanks for all the great ideas, everyone. We have had a new grandchild born in our family and two family emergencies since I first posted this, so I have not been able to try implementing any of these great ideas. Powelligator, like FreeLanceing, I am especially interested in the roof rack end supports. How do they attach to the camper, and where did you get them?
Probably these;
Thule Gutter Mounts
It's what we used on our last camper. They are a pretty universal fit. The gutter mounts with a 96" bar are pefrect for the TC.

Those are exactly what I'm using - the Thule gutter mounts with a set of really long bars. If you look closely at the photo on page 2 of this thread, you can see the PVC pipe that I use in the center to keep the weight of anything from bowing down. None of that penetrates the roof, that was my concern also, and I've got thousands of miles with no issues.
