Looking for some ideas for carrying SUP or short Kayaks vertically on the rear of my truck camper. I do not want to put them on the roof. I have a rear deck that sticks out 18" behind the rear and the standard ladder. I have seen a few variations. Looking for lessons learned and materials used especially padding and securing systems.

Which one did you get? Reviews on many say leaks happen, seams break. I need a recommendation before I pull the trigger cuz there are so many out there.

What about inside the camper?

there was a discussion and photos of vertical rear mounted kayak racks for short kayaks on the facebook truck camping group a few weeks ago.

Trying to come up with suggestions to refine something like this. We do have one inflatable but we tend to move around a lot and inflating deflating thing is a bit of pain from my perspective. I would like to find a way to just throw them up lash them in and move to the next drop-in.

If part of the kayaks are in the wind it could create a bunch of drag.
