• Kayak Carrier Recommendation that Mounts to Enclosed Trailer Interior Wall

• How To Carry Four Kayaks on a 2008 Chrysler Pacifica
• If you have the factory roof rack on your 2008 Chrysler Pacifica then yes, we do have a system for you that will allow you to carry four kayaks. In order to do so you will need to place them on the roof with a roof mounted kayak carrier. I recommend the, Rhino-Rack Nautic Stack Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs part # RRS520 because it is currently the most cost effective option. In addition to the above you will also need the Rhino-Rack Cam-Buckle Cinch Strap and Anchor Kit part # RRRBAS-RTD55P-RTD45P...

• Trailer Hitch-Mounted Kayak and Bike Carrier for Use on 2014 Kia Optima
• We do offer several brands of light-duty 1-1/4-inch Class I trailer hitches for your 2014 Kia Optima and all can be seen on the link at right, including the Draw-Tite # 24965. This is the hitch I suggest since it does not require use of a stabilizing strap as some others do. A class I hitch has a tongue weight (downward force) limit of 200-lbs and this translates to it being suitable for use only with 2-bike Class I hitch-mount bike racks. The 2-bike limit applies even if you have a compatible...

• Recommended Method to Transport 2 Kayaks on 2011 Subaru Outback to Retain Rear Hatch Clearance
• For the most flexibility in placement of two kayaks on the roof of your 2011 Subaru Outback Wagon you could use a foam block type kayak carrier such as Malone # MPG152 directly on the roof itself, bypassing the front crossbar. The front block could be positioned more forward on the roof to still give you a wide front-to-back stance for kayak stability while giving you the ability to shift the kayaks more forward for a bit more room at the back end of the car. I cannot guarantee that you'd...

• Is There a Way to Convert a Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer with V-Style Carriers to Post Style
• I do have an option for you, but we do not have a conversion kit for your Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer with V-Style Carriers # MAL43FR. But, you can use the Malone Stax Pro2 Kayak Roof Rack w/ Tie-Downs # MPG115MD. This will provide you with a post style carrier that will clamp onto the crossbars of your EcoLight trailer. The foam pads will fit around your bars to provide some cushion and protection for the kayaks. You can add additional foam blocks # MPG168 (x2) and tie-downs # MPG306...

• Availability of Foam Block Kayak Carrier Compatible with Square Profile Crossbars
• Although there are still a few square profile crossbars available, many are getting away from them slowly because the aero-style are much quieter. A block system like the Malone # MPG162 is compatible with both square and aero-profile bars. Once the kayaks are strapped down to the roof rack and at the bow and stern, it doesn't really matter what profile the blocks are compatible with, because the force of the straps holding the kayaks in place will prevent the blocks from moving. I found...

• Availability of Hitch Cargo Carrier-Mounted Kayak Carrier for 4 Kayaks
• We do offer hitch-mounted cargo baskets and enclosed carriers. We also have hitch-mount load supports that can be used to transport a kayak or canoe in conjunction with a roof rack. Such an item is the Erickson Big Bed Junior Load Extender # EM07605. For reference I have linked you to our main page for hitch cargo carriers. You can use the filters in the left-hand margin to narrow the results based on your hitch size. I do not know of any kayak rack intended to mount to a cargo carrier,...

• How to Transport Kayak & Bikes on 2008 Volvo C70
• We do not have any confirmed hitch fits for your 2008 Volvo C70 coupe. I confirmed this directly with Draw-Tite and Curt. Curt hitch # C11065 is a fit only for the T5 convertible model for years 2011 through 2013. I cannot recommend installing this on a car for which it was not intended. Since there are no hitch fits there are also no custom-fit plug-in wiring harness products for the car so trailer towing is not an option. Also, there are no aftermarket roof racks available for it. This...

• Rack and Kayak Carrier Recommendation for 2018 Ford F-150 5-1/2 ft Bed
• The best option to carry your kayak with your 2018 Ford F-150 5-1/2 foot bed would be with the Rhino Rack roof rack and upright kit part numbers # RRVA150S, # RRRLKVAH, # RTL002, and # DK427H as this will give you bars you can mount the kayak further forward than a truck bed ladder rack. For a rack to install on the front bar you could then use the Yakima carrier # Y08083 and you'd be set.

• Using Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer to Carry 1 Recumbent and 1 Speed Bike
• Yes, your Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08107 is actually designed with the versatility to haul anything from kayaks to cargo baskets/boxes to bike racks as well! Just keep in mind that the total weight capacity of the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer is 250 lbs. The only option for a roof bike rack designed specifically for recumbent bikes is the Thule Roof Mounted Bike Rack # TH558P. The great thing about this rack is that it features a pivoting fork that allows you to conveniently load...

This would allow you keep the paddles out of your vehicle and safely attached to the trailer. I've linked a review video of this bracket for you to check out.

• Can The Malone Crossbars and 2nd Tier Crossbars Be Used With a Small Boat Trailer?
• We do offer the Crossbars # MPG4001 and 2nd Tier Load Bar System # MPG474 like you see on the Malone 2 Tier LowBed MicroSport Trailer # MPG464-LBT. As these are specifically designed to bolt to the Malone trailer you may have to do some customization to fit on your trailer. You will be able to use the Yakima Crossbar Pads # Y07415 to provide a padding for your kayaks and paddle boards.

• As long as you have a 2 inch hitch installed on your 2016 Ford Edge like the # 75234 the Darby Upright and Crossbar setup part # DTA944-968-924 would fit and work well for you. The vertical height of the upright can be adjusted from 53-3/8" - 60-3/8" too.

• Trailer Ladder Rack Installation on Utility Trailer With Round Tubing
• Currently we do not have a rack system designed to attached to round tubing on a utility trailer. Round tubing naturally is a challenge for this application since it could allow any mounting hardware used (say u-bolts, for example) to rotate. If you can find a welder to weld on flat steel plates to the round tubing that would give you some options since you'd then be able to use a ladder rack like the Rack'em Fitz-All Enclosed Trailer Ladder Rack # RA-28.

• Available Cargo Carrying Solution Similar to Roof Rack for a Utility Trailer
• There I have a solution for you, but there isn't going to be anything that would work on angled iron that you could use on a utility trailer. Your best solution, depending on what you're trying to carry, might be using something like the Pack'Em Ladder Rack for Side Rail of Utility Trailer # PK-28WL2-BMH to carry some additional cargo. It's not going to allow you to carry a cargo box or anything like that, but could be used for bikes, kayaks, or skis.
