How does everyone transport their kayak

[gpeade]

I have a 2003 F-250 crew cab with a 6.5' bed towing a 28' Jayco TT. For those of you that carry kayaks along what methods have you tried and what have you found that works best? I have a hard bed cover on the truck and would rather not loose that because of the secure storage it provides. Ideally I would love to make something that stands them up vertically against the rear of the TT but then I have to worry about overhead clearance so I'm not set on that idea.

We put our 2 feelfree Mokens + our 2 bicycles inside the trailer when underway. On arrival, we chain the kayaks up under the trailer.

A good and very solid, secure option is made by DiamondBack Covers. I actually bought one to load my ATV on and tow my TT. The DiamondBack ATV cover I have can support 1600 lbs of weight on the cover and it is locking. DiamondBack also makes HD covers if you don't want to load ATVs on them. But importantly, the have risers that can attach for cross members which would be perfect for long kayaks, canoe or anything else. Downside is they are not the cheapest thing out there but for me it was worth the money.

Standing on back bumper will work for 10 foot yaks , we did that on several of our trailers , now we haul from top of truck cab , forward on a rack that fastens on front of truck trailer hitch . The yaks make the cab cooler as they shade the front . We call it a rocket launcher .
