Carry Kayaks With 5th Wheel - Whispbar Roof Rack Installation

My solution to bring our 2 Lifetime kayaks when camping with our 5th wheel, a Whispbar Roof Rack and set of TMS J-Bar Kayak carriers.

Timestamps are below in the video description.

I had considered other options like the Vertiyak or Yakups racks that mount to the back of your RV, but I wasn’t crazy about the thought of putting all that weight on the weak rear bumper of my 5th wheel and the Yakups is quite expensive.
The roof rack does have a few disadvantages, the biggest being a loss of how sharp you can turn. In my case it isn’t too bad, but that will depend on the length of your kayaks and the way you can position them on the racks.

Here is a complete list of the parts I am using, they were all ordered from Amazon.

Check out the Whispbar website to see what rack and fit kit is needed for your truck, the Flush Bar system is the one I have.
