Kayak Carrier Recommendation that Mounts to Enclosed Trailer Interior Wall

Question

Question:

I am looking for a kayak rack for my enclosed cargo trailer. I have a 11.5 and a 10ft. Wilderness sit on top kayak. I need something that will attach to the interior walls. If you have something that folds back or is easily removable that could be a plus. Hope you can help. Thanks

The Swagman Tajo Wall Mounted Kayak Storage System # S65146 would be a great option. We had a customer who used these for this application with several kayaks and they reported back that it worked well.
