Your best bet for carrying two kayaks like what you describe would be to use a small trailer like # MPG460G. Due to the weight of your kayaks and the height of a Class C motorhome, carrying them on the roof wouldn't be feasible. If you don't already have a kayak carrier, I'd recommend using the Thule DockGrip, part # TH895. Each DockGrip kit can handle one kayak.

Multiple hitch adapters like your #RM-077-10 and #BX88265 can not be used together. You'd be adding one more breaking point into the mix there and running the risk of something happening and the vehicle being loose on the road. The Thule EasyFold…
