Question:
I am wondering if the front rail plus extension over the cab can be used to support 2 kayaks while pulling a 5th wheel so the kayaks are more forward and no rear rack? kayaks are 60-70lbs each 10.5’ in length each

Expert Reply:
The Thule T-Rac Pro2 Cantilever # TH37002XT-EX can be used to carry kayaks but if there's a fifth wheel trailer being towed most likely the kayaks wouldn't be carried far enough forward to not interfere with the nose of the trailer. But if you used it with a front hitch mounted T Load carrier like the Rhino Rack part # RTL002 you'd be able to carry it far enough forward.
