Roof Rack and Kayak Recommendations for a 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan
Question:
Im considering purchasing a Thule Wingbar Traverse Aero Bar Roof Rack for my 2013 Grand Caravan. We also need to be able to transport 2 - 12 foot kayaks and I remember someone telling me that the length of the kayak helps determine what type of hardware is required. Can you help?

You came to the right place, I can help you with outfitting your 2013 Grand Caravan with the proper equipment for your kayaks. I think that the Thule WingBar Roof Rack System is a great choice for your Caravan.
The complete custom Thule WingBar Traverse Roof Rack system for your 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan will consist of the following parts:
# TH711500 (silver) or # TH711520 (black) - 60 inch AeroBlade Load Bars
# TH480R - Traverse Rapid Aero Feet
# THKIT1043 - Custom Fit Kit for the 2013 Grand Caravan
The Thule WingBars require the adapter kit # THXADAPT11 to allow the Thule Hull-A-Port # TH834 to attach properly to the wider crossbars. It's important to keep in mind that the # TH834 will only carry 1 kayak. So if you plan on getting two Hull-A-Ports then you will need two sets of the # THXADAPT11 as well.
I have linked all the above mentioned parts to this page for your convenience.
