Easy Ideas to attach a 10' Kayak to Fiver

We have two 9 ft kayaks. I just put them inside the coach for transport. They fit down the center and take up the space in the middle forward of the dinette. They are the last thing loaded and the first to come out. It works for us because I frequently drive the coach alone to local campsites where I am joined by the rest of the family after I set up camp. So far I haven't thought of a better option that would be worth the money. If you find one, please let me know.

I also carry my 12ft Hobie inside my 5th wheel. It is last in and first out. We stuff pillows all around it and have hauled it many times.

I have made a light weight cart that allows me to transport the yak on its side or on its belly. It makes it so easy to handle thru narrow doorways. Cart stays on yak in RV.

My yak is 10', wife's is 8'. Both fit inside the coach. Slight PITA.

I just moved up to a fifth wheel myself this year, before I had a rack on my truck for my 16' foot canoe, no longer doable
we have looked at getting a couple kayaks for the kids, and maybe us, but definitely staying with a canoe, so I looked into having fabricated a bumper mount removeable rack that links to a behind the cab rack to carry up to 4 kayaks,,, of course which can safely transport when unhooked as well from the trailer.

for our canoe issue, if there are places we want to take it I am looking into a light weight utility trailer with a rack that will take the canoe and 2 kayaks,(or 4 kayaks) as well a little firewood, 4 to 5 bikes. the trailer (must) and will be balanced just so when loaded 1 person could easily carry the tongue and push it across level ground.

I will eventually have both systems as our trips vary greatly for the number of people (anywhere from 2 to 5) and the equipment we take or can use on each trip, so we can easily set up for whatever we need and its as minimal as possible for that purpose

My brother hauls 2 on a roof rack on the truck.

Here's a good idea, buy a rubber one, store it any where.and now it's all happy-camping

We brought a 10' one home from Arizona on the trailers rear ladder. Then I built an over the cab rack.



I sold the larger Old Town Vapor 12 and got a Vapor 10.

Never understood why people carry them as rain catchers!

I had a bicycle rack attached to my ladder and hung my 10 ft kayak on it. Worked pretty good.

My dad has one of his kayaks on the ladder of his rig. They have been all over the place with it and as of yet, no issues.

Ditto the rain catcher comment! Just don't understand that either!

I would wonder if the support pole from the front bumper might be viewed as an vision impairment to the driver's vision in some jurisdictions. Perhaps California, similar to the law forbidding anything attached to the windshield (eg, GPS)and restriction regarding what may be attached to the windshied rear view mirror.
