We are new to RV travel but long time sea kayakers. We have cartopped our kayaks all along the East Coast, from Canada to Florida. In considering a class C rv as a retirement plan, being able to kayak as we traveled was an essential part of making it work. We already had an Innova Sunny inflatable. It is a high end inflatable which can set up as a single or double. We have used it in ocean and lake settings for up to 6 or 8 mile trips, but it doesn't compare with our hard shell sea kayaks (or offer the safety of spray skirts, etc.)
We mail ordered a Trak kayak for test paddling. They have a 30 day return policy, It was great. The Trak Seeker ST16 is a skin on frame performance kayak. Sets up in about 10 minutes and performs likea hard shell. After a short test paddle side by side with our carbon/kevlar sea kayaks, we were sold. On another day I paddled with a buddy and we did a 14 mile non-stop trip. Well, we have 2 of them now and the rv is arriving this month. Check out their web site for videos showing them in use around the world in all sorts of conditions. We are looking forward to using them around the US and Canada. i'll be happy to answer questions or even let you take a look at one if you are around western Connecticut.
