Can you carry this in the back of your C ? I have a Winnie Minnie 24 foot with the bike rack.

thanks

Check out the cargo carrier from PPL. I got one for a couple bikes and it works great. I believe its rated for about 500 lbs and attaches to your hitch receiver. Should work fine for the boat.

I think a couple of us were "positive".

I don't see a reason that you couldn't get a receiver hitch carrier that was adapted to hold the paddleboat so that it would be secure for trips. You might want to add a couple of eye-bolts to the RV, to secure it, but if you have the carrier configured well, that may not be needed.
Many of those carriers have an auxiliary hitch on them, so that you could attach the bike rack....or just put the bikes inside he RV, or have an additional hitch mounted on the front of the RV for the bikes.

I took my son out on a lake with a paddle boat last week.....I'd forgotten how small they are (I'm 6'7"), so it was very uncomfortable to peddle it. I think the one you are looking at is even smaller...but not really sure?

Have fun:)

as they were all 8 ft or less, do a search for somebody here who had a picture of two kayaks vertical on the back of their RV. might be able to (without top) snug it against rear of motorhome. might also work horizontally.

I think I can put it between the bike rack and the back wall of the C . I am not sure if it is safe to carry it like that.

In the back?

Specs say 8 foot by 5 foot by 2 foot, 110 pounds. I don't have a space that size inside my C, except maybe the aisle of the living area, from the cab cutout back to the kitchen sink. But I think it might need to be tipped nose up to get it around the corner once inside the door, and I don't have eight feet from floor to ceiling.

Maybe on the back, something fabricated to carry it on the hitch receiver.

My C is not your C, and I don't know what are your interior spaces.
