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
