How Can We Carry Two Kayaks On Our RV?

by Kurt
(Broomfield, CO)

We have a fifth wheel and would like to carry our two double kayaks. Does anyone manufacture or has anyone improvised a rack to go over the cab of the truck?

ANSWER: Greetings Kurt thanks for submitting your question on our Ask An RV Question Page.

I am not aware of any Kayak Racks that would work on a pickup truck pulling a 5th Wheel Trailer. However there are two companies that manufacture Kayak Racks that can be attached to the rear of a motorhome, travel trailer or 5th wheel trailer. Both of these vertical racks can carry two Kayaks. The links to those companies are below: reminde, both of the links below open in a new window so turn off your pop-up blocker.

Rv Raxx.com. Their RV Kayak Rack can carry two Kayaks up to 10 feet long.

rvkayakrack.com. Their Kayak Rack can carry two Kayaks up to 11 feet long.

I am not sure if these would accommodate your Double Kayaks.

I am sure there are other RVers out there that haul their Kayaks when camping and I would be interested to find out how they do it. So if you are an RVing Kayaker, please feel free to leave a comment on this page by clicking on the "Click Here To Post A Comment Link" located near the bottom of this page and let us know how you carry your Kayaks on your camping trips.

Happy RVing

Fifth Wheel Kayak and bike carriers

All you need is to add a class three 2" receiver tube properly on the rear of your Fifth wheel, and you can carry two kayaks and 2 bikes at once.

The all steel frame KR2B56 model will work and is on several fifth wheels. Available at RV Kayak Racks.Com This standard rack fits up to a 30" wide and 11' long Kayaks. Custom racks for wider kayaks are also available.

we just built one to fit both of our kayaks. We have two that we wanted to take with us and couldn't figure out how. So we built one. I can send you a picture if you would like

There is a way

Mounting Kayaks on a truck pulling a fifth wheel,
involves adding a 2' receiver to the front of the truck. Usually these mount on or with the tow hooks. These can be purshased from several hitch receiver manufactures (bodiak, Curt, Draw-TITE, etc.).

Next you will need a kayak receiver mount. It is like a large letter "T". These can be purchased from either Thule or Yakima.

Next you will need a cross bar and towers to mount on top of the cab. These too can be purchased from either Thule or Yakima.

Lastly you will need kayak mounts of your choice to go on the cross bars.

I have several friends who carry their kayaks this way while towing a fifth wheel.

Good luck
Daniel
