Expert Reply:
The best and easiest kayak carrier setup we have that will fit your Thule roof rack on your Leer Camper shell is the Thule Hullavator Pro part # TH898 that you referenced as long as the crossbars of your rack extend out at least 4 inches past the feet of the rack. Unlike other carriers that would require you to lift your kayaks pretty high this carrier allows you to load the kayaks at a much more manageable level and then push the carrier up with the kayak onto the roof easily. See attached review video.
But let's say you wanted something less expensive and didn't mind the lifting of the kayaks the Yakima JayLow part # Y04073 would be a solid option. Once you got the kayak up onto the roof it would easily secure with the included straps etc.
