Wasn't sure where to post and not much help on a search.  I am looking for a way to transport my kayak on my RV.
Kayak: Feelfree 11.5 Lure with a rudder.
RV: 22 foot Kodiak Class B+ with a fiberglass roof.

Roof racks would be difficult due to AC unit and no where to attach cross bars without drilling into the roof.  Also, quite high to hoist a heavy yak.
Looking for ideas and pictures, please.

You might be able to strap it on the back, diagonally, sitting on the bumper or a cargo rack.

You might think about a small trailer.  That's what I'm doing.

You can use the trailer with any vehicle, so +1 on that - but listen to Mojo.  That guy's a wizard.

The fish bite twice a day - just before we get here and right after we leave.

Mojo and I fabbed one up to bolt to the top of my 35' class A. We were able to bolt directly to the steel main beams on the top. Then again I have a rubber roof. Fiberglass may add extra complication.

I can build one of these new for you. This one is used in refurbishing for B-Drew eventually.

Class B's are an odd duck, in that they are still a pain in the butt to hook up and disconnect whenever you need local transportation around the area you are camped, but they seem like they are too small to have a towed vehicle behind. But I'd be looking at either a trailer for the kayaks, or a roof rack on the toad.

Either that, or get an inflatable, or one of those kayaks that come in three puzzle pieces (has anyone ever actually bought and paddled on of those ?)

Thank you all for the quick and thoughtful responses.  Trailering is not an option as I want to maintain maneuverability and not deal with parking limitations.  I'm curious about the diagonal mounting off the back using a hitch mount.  I'll get measurements tomorrow when I can get the rig out.  Is there a commercial made unit for this style?  Not sure I have the skills to fab this up.

spoted a r.v. headed down the freeway with 2 yaks on the back mounted straight up, the bows stuck up over the top at least 2 ft. would have liked to check it out but it was headed the other way.

I have the equipment to do the job I don't boast  skills as my welds may not be the prettiest but there solid. How far into Cali are you and how far you want to travel?

I want to see a Revo 16/Addy mounted on one of those racks. Should be entertaining to see.
