No room... we carry a lot of recovery gear (and use it often)

While our configuration won't work on a fifth wheel our racks make no noise at all.. That would have driven us batty over 45000 miles of hauling a RV with kayak.

I just mention this as its not always true that racks make noise. Often the noise is from a strap.. and that can be dealt with by putting a twist in it.

Righto, our roof rack makes noise when empty, and is quiet w/ the yaks on top.

I carry a porta bote on my roof rack to ladder rack combo towing my X17Z. I will post my pics next time I set it up.

Sounds like you need a Jeep then

Just kidding, sorry I couldn’t resist.

I have been using this mount I made to haul kayaks on out motorhomes over the years. Works great if you don’t need the hitch and have the height.

Here are my pics. I am at work so the trailer is not hooked up yet.

My new Rhino Rack system and new TV (to me) heading out for the first time. Worked great.

I carry a 14ft Porta-Bote on our Ram with a 5th wheel. I bought a cheap $99 or so ladder rack and only installed the one in the front of the bed. I then installed a front trailer hitch. I bought a cheap hitch extender from Harbor Freight and installed it in the front hitch. Then I built a 2x4 rack to connect to the front ladder rack and the front 'T.' It works well.
