Hauling kayaks - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I'm wondering what people use for a rack on top of 5th wheel trailer to haul kayaks. Or do people make their rack. Also is there a system to get one on top of trailer as well?

Maybe a Thule rack with the Track system like is used on camper shells?

Check our Racknroad. You can probably find them on the internet. Went into their Costa Mesa store when I bought my rack and was awed by the variety of product choices.

Thule and Yakima both make crossbar systems that will mount on top of your 5th wheel camper/trailer.

Check their website for the fit guide.

FWIW, I'm a big fan of the Yakima Hully Rollers for the rear mounts paired up with the Thule "Set-to-Go" saddles up front. For high-up applications like on a tall truck rack (as I have) or the top of a van or RV, this is the way to go, since you can use the rollers to get the yak up onto the racks, then the front saddles really grip the hull bette that the standard Yakima mounts, IMO.
