Recommended Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier for 2 Kayaks on a 2000 Coleman Hayride Pop-Up Camper

Question:

Could you recommend a kayak rack for a 2000 Coleman hayride? I have a 17 foot and a 12 foot kayak I would love to take to the Tetons this august. Thank you.

Since you have a bare roof on your 2000 Coleman Hayride we need to start you off with a roof rack. The Swagman Roamer LT Roof Rack for Pop-Up Campers # S80510 is a great option because it features a 150 lb weight capacity and 7' long crossbars that can be cut to meet your application. This does require drilling into the roof of your camper but you can seal the feet with LaSalle Bristol XTRM Universal Self-Leveling Sealant # 34427034145-1 to ensure that your camper won't leak.

Then for a kayak carrier I recommend using a Swagman Contour Rooftop Kayak Carrier # S65148 for each of your kayaks. This is a lightweight carrier that can still hold up to 100 lbs so you can take full advantage of the weight capacity of the roof rack as well.
