Kayak hooked to ladder?
Has anyone rigged up a kayak to the back ladder of your trailer or motorhome for transport? Advice?

If the ladder is rated for 300 pounds and the kayak weighs 33 pounds then you would require a 9G jolt/bounce to approach your ladder's limit. That is about where a fighter pilot in a G Suit typically passes out in flight. So if you're putting (G stress in your RV on a regular basis I'd be more worried about the RV as a whole than a kayak on your ladder.
Our inflatable kayak weighs more than 33 lbs. and our son's 2-person kayaks weigh a lot more. I wasn't expecting a kayak that lite.

I don’t know quite what that means, but I think I will stay with my 2-piece kayak that will fit inside, or purchase a rack designEd for the task! Thanks.
