Love to camp and kayak/ fish. I'm a 63 year old female and load my kayak on the roof rack of my TV by myself. I have a smaller 55lb kayak, getting it on the roof is easy. I stand it against the side of my TV lift the end, slide it into place and strap it down. I added a removable pole holder and have plenty of room for my fishing gear. At the campsite I strap on my transport cart so I can pull/roll it down to the lake.
Love my R-Pod

You go girl!! When the yaks get too heavy for us to throw on top of the TV, we'll look at getting something like The Hullavator My wife loves her boat. |

I have been a kayak angler since 2000 both fresh and salt water and had a few Nantucket Sled rides from 40 plus inch stripers. Just purchased a 179 R-pod yesterday and my thoughts on taking the kayak is leaning towards one of the new inflatable two persons kayaks endorsed by Bill Dance for convenience .Not sure what a camper topper is?

Some two legged! But you never know what is in the depths of Lake Willoughby!!
Grew up down in Hyannis, used to fish for Stripers and blues all the time. Brings back a lot of memories. Used to fish along the canal with my grandfather!

I have two yaks to transport. Which type of roof top rack do you guys use for your yaks? The "J" type which holds the yak in a near vertical position or the type which holds the yak flat with the bottom down? Any thoughts on which one has the least effect on gas mileage?

We use the "J" style and have actually found our gas mileage increases when carrying the yaks.
