Best Option For Transporting a Canoe With a Camper Van

Question:

Can you use the Yakima Canoe Trailer for 2 Canoes - Hull Up to transport a canoe with a camper van? Any other options to transport a canoe with a camper van?

The Yakima Canoe Trailer for 2 Canoes # Y84TR will allow you to carry 2 canoes up to 16' long and weighing up to 80lbs per boat. If you only have one kayak it can be up to 17' long. Depending on your camper van you may be able to add a roof rack and carry a canoe on top of the van but that would definitely make it more difficult to load and unload for you.

We also have the Malone Trailer # MPG535 which can support canoes up to 20' long if yours are longer than 16'. Do understand for the additional length this trailer is going to be both longer, wider and taller than the Yakima.
