Getting a kayak on top of a truck camper????
Any easy way to do it? Thanks Red

We got one of the Sea Eagle inflatables. It was surprisingly not bad! Of course, it couldn't think about keeping up with the 19 foot canoe that goes on the camper roof. We get the canoe up by leaning it against the back of the camper (with the end on a mat to reduce slipping and damage), then someone climbs up and pulls it into position while the person on the ground guides it and says unhelpful things like "you got it? I can't reach it!".
We have a popup camper so it's easier. And because we wanted to be able to pop it up while loaded we got a lightweight canoe so it's even easier.
If you haven't purchased yet, perhaps a canoe would be easier to load than a kayak. I don't KNOW but I think they tend to be lighter and longer (if you buy a light and long one--mine is 50 lbs and holds 4 humans and a big fat dog).
Will you have two people loading? You probably at least want someone on the ground to hold it steady.
