Roof Rack to Carry 2 Kayaks on a 2009 Ford E-350 Sportsmobile Van
Question:
I have a 2009 E-350 Sportsmobile van with the pop-up top and 2 solar panels on the roof at the front. I want to put 2 sit-in kayaks 55# * 45# wts on the roof but need racks that gives me space above the solar panels. Also is there something similar to the THule system that makes it easy to load kayaks.

Expert Reply:
To add a roof rack to your 2009 Ford E-350 Sportsmobile Van that is tall enough to clear the solar panels you are going to need some gutter feet that are relatively tall. The best rack for your van is the TracRac ladder rack, part # TH29055XT. The gutter feet cause the bars to sit about 7-1/2 inches from the roof.
To hold the kayaks I recommend the Thule Stacker # TH830. This is a great way to carry multiple kayaks a roof rack. It includes all the necessary straps to secure the kayaks and folds down and out of the way when not in use.
