Recommended Carrier For Kayak Compatible With Popup Camper
Question:
I am looking for a kayak carrier for my 2016 8SD Jayco popup. It has a vent off to the side. Im looking for a carrier which can be installed with the LEAST structural impact to retain roof top watertight integrity. Best suggestion? Thanks.

Expert Reply:
For the least structural impact on a popup, you can use the Malone Deluxe Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs - Foam Block Style - 18" Long # MPG152.
If you are looking to add a roof rack, I recommend the SportRack Pop-Up Camper Roof Rack - Square Crossbars - Steel # SR1020. These feet permanently bolt to the roof of your camper. Then for a kayak carrier, I recommend the Thule Hull-A-Port Kayak Carrier w/Tie-Downs - J-Style - Fixed - Side Loading # TH834. This will give you a sturdy carrier compatible with your roof rack.
