• Solution for Transporting a 14 Foot Kayak, Two Bikes, and a Vespa Behind Winnebago
  The best option we have available to transport your mentioned cargo is the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer # Y08129. This is a lightweight aluminum trailer with enormous versatility due to its two storage levels, heavy-duty crossbars, and built-in tie down points. You could secure your 14 foot kayak on the bottom level and your two bikes on the top level using a couple of the excellent Yakima FrontLoader Carriers # Y02103. With these items loaded you would still have room for additional...

• Will Two 30 Inch Wide Kayaks Fit on Lower Deck of Yakima EasyRider Trailer
  I don't believe your two 30 inch wide kayaks will fit on the bottom deck of the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer # Y08129 . I confirmed through my contact at Yakima that the width of the bottom deck is 54 inches inside to inside of the 2 inch diameter tubing that make up the frame. Because the bottom deck has a height of 21 inches, you would not be able to fit your 30 inch wide kayaks on their side, as you mentioned. You could, however, fit one on the bottom and a second or third...

• How To Secure A Kayak On the Lower Level Of the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer
  I spoke with Yakima and they informed me that the Yakima BigCatch Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs part # Y04091 will fit on the lower level of the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer part # Y08129 and will then allow you to secure your Hobie Tandem Mirage Kayak. The BigCatch has a 150 lb weight capacity and works with very larger crossbars so you will not have any issues. I will however say that most customers just use ratchet straps and pads to secure a kayak to the crossbars on the lower...

• Tire and Axle Differences Between The Yakima Rack and Roll and Easy Rider Trailers
  I checked with Yakima who confirmed the tires on the Easy Rider Trailer # Y08129 are tubeless and do not require inner tubes like the Rack and Roll # Y08107. Both the Rack and Roll and Easy Rider trailer axles should be greased before installation as part of maintenance but have sealed bearings so would not be a fit for the Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors # BB1980A. A third option worth considering is the Malone MicroSport Trailer # MPG460G that also has tubeless tires like the...

  The best cargo basket we have to use on the lower level of the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer part # Y08129 is the Yakima MegaWarrior Extra Large Roof Rack Cargo Basket part # Y07080-82. This is the largest cargo basket that Yakima offers and will fit perfectly as you can see in the attached photo.

• Anti-Theft Lock Recommendations for Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer # Y08129
  I can definitely help come up with a way to make the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer # Y08129 as theft resistant as possible but I can't safely recommend you replace the hardware that secures the coupler or hinge to the trailer tongue with hitch locks of any kind. You have to use the included hardware otherwise the warranty of the trailer would be voided and you'd be potentially unsafe to yourself and other motorists. So for the latch of the coupler you could use a trigger latch...

• Coupler Height of Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer
  From the ground to the bottom of the coupler for the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer # Y08129 it measures 16". To ensure that you tow the trailer level you just need to measure from the ground to the top of the inside of the receiver on your 2020 Jeep Gladiator and then choose a ball mount that has the correct rise/drop that matches up to the EasyRider. I have attached a link to a helpful article about choosing a ball mount that you can reference. I tried to find what the height...

• What Type of Socket Should be Used to Install Wheels of Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer
  There is limited clearance between the wheel and the lug nuts so you'll want to use a thin walled 21 mm socket to mount the wheels that come with the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer # Y08129. I wouldn't get too hung up on brand but just make sure it's a thin wall socket and you'll be totally fine. These are easily found at auto parts stores.

• Recommended Bike Rack to Use with the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer
  I recommend using the Yakima HighRoad Roof Bike Rack # Y02114 with the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer # Y08129 because it is a wheel mount version so you don't have to find a place to store the spare tire, plus it can be mounted to the HD crossbars if you use the SmarT-slot Kit # Y02122 . This rack also comes with the ability to add locks with the Kit # Y07202 and is compatible with disc brakes as well. I have attached a review video for you to reference as well.

• Is Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer Suited for Off-Road Use
  The Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer # Y08129 is pretty well setup for off-road situations like you mentioned. It comes with shocks and decently aggressive tread tires so that it would handle moderate off-road scenarios like what most find themselves in on fishing and camping trips. I attached a picture of it from Yakima used at a pretty rocky beach for example. That said there aren't any heavier duty shocks or tires available for it. I can't attach the picture you submitted for the...

• Can Yakima EasyRider Trailer Carry Two 17 foot Long Canoes
  Yes, two canoes that measure 35 inches in width and 17 feet in length would easily fit on the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer # Y08129 that you referenced. For straps to secure the canoes you'd then want the part # Y05006 and you'd be set.

• Can 4 Bikes and 1 Kayak be Transported on Top Bar of Yakima EasyRider Trailer
  The Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer # Y08129 comes with the 78" Yakima HD crossbars. You can definitely fit your 4 bikes (as the 78" bars can accommodate 6 bikes) and you might be able to also fit your kayak but you'll want to test it out a little to confirm this beforehand. The JayHook # Y04084 will fit the HD bars (my contact at Yakima said it might be a little tricky to fit, but it does fit), and it measures 9-1/2" wide. Since your kayak will be sitting at an angle your whole...

• How to Use Rooftop Tent with 2019 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon with Sky One-Touch Power Top
  There is a way for you to use a rooftop tent with your brand new 2019 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon with the Sky One-Touch Power Top but there is not going to be a roof rack that is compatible. The reason for this is that since your Power Top is not a complete hard top there are currently no racks that are a fit; I checked with each of our rack manufacturers and there are currently no fits. It is possible there may be at some point but since this is a new application there is nothing...

• How To Secure Fishing Kayak On Lower Level Of Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer
  The lower level of the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer part # Y08129 wound be a great place to store a fishing kayak. I'm sure you could devise a way to attach some bunk boards but I really don't have any options for this so instead i'd recommend the Yakima BigCatch Kayak Carrier part # Y04091 which is designed for these larger fishing kayaks. In regards to the spare wheel/tire, the Spare Tire and Carrier for Yakima EasyRider Trailer part # Y08125 is the only thing we can recommend....

• What Tire Pressure Should I Use on the Tires That Come With the Yakima Easy Rider Trailer
  Yes. The tires on the Yakima Easy Rider Double Decker Trailer # Y08129 do need to be inflated to 80psi when cold. When it comes to trailer tires, they're designed to be load bearing, so inflating them to the prescribed psi enables them to hold the maximum load. This also reduces the chances for heat related malfunctioning that can occur when they're under-inflated. These tires are designed to withstand that amount of pressure, so there's nothing to worry about.

• Will the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer Work With a Tepui Tent Kukenam Sky Tent
  Yes, a 2009 Subaru Forester can tow the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer part # Y08129 without issue as it is very lightweight, only 175 lbs which then leaves you with plenty of capacity for your tent and other cargo. In regards to loading, both the upper and lower deck can be used so there would be no issue using a cargo basket/tray on the lower deck and a roof top tent on the upper deck. In fact, when Yakima presented the trailer to us that is that exact same configuration they...

• Roof Rack Recommendation to Carry Fishing Kayak with 2018 Subaru Outback Wagon Touring
  Thank you for all of the information! We do have a solution for you to carry a heavier fishing kayak, like the Old Town Predator PDL or the Hobie Outback, on the roof of your 2018 Subaru Outback Wagon Touring Edition. For your application I recommend using the Yakima JetStream roof rack system which consists of their 50" Long Black # Y00425 or Silver # Y00428 JetStream Crossbars, RidgeLine Towers # Y00145, and RidgeClip Fit Kit # Y06028. This system has a 165 lb weight capacity so you...

• Trailer With Crossbars To Setup Yakima SkyRise Roof Top Tent
  I do have an option for you but The Detail K2 Mighty Multi A-Frame Trailer part # K2MMT5X7 is not designed to be used with cross bars and cannot support the a roof top tent like Yakima Sky Rise part # Y07437. The Sky Rise gets most of it's support from the way the roof rack is installed on the roof. For example Yakima does not recommend using the Sky Rise on roof rack's that do not install on vehicle's raised side rails or fixed mounting points. I recommend to use the Yakima EasyRider...

• How to Use Yakima SkyRise Rooftop Tent With 2019 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
  We do have an option for you to still be able to use your tent, although the Yakima SkyRise Tent # Y07437 is only compatible with roof racks that fit on raised side rails, fixed mounting points, or flush side rails. A Jeep Wrangler such as a 2019 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, does not have any type of rails or mounting points, so there isn't a roof rack that can support a SkyRise tent on this particular vehicle. You are not out of luck though, because you can still use the tent, but it will...

• How to Use Yakima SkyRise Rooftop Tent on 2019 Subaru Outback Touring with Factory Roof Rack
  There is a way you can use the Yakima SkyRise Tent # Y07436 with your 2019 Subaru Outback Touring but I checked with Yakima and this tent will not fit on the factory roof rack on your '19 Outback Touring. Instead what you can do is put the tent on the Yakima EasyRider Utility Trailer # Y08129; you will simply need the SkyRise Tent Platform for Yakima EasyRider Utility Trailer # Y08127. This way you can have a trailer that not only allows you to use the tent but also carry cargo because...

• Can Multiple Extensions be Added to Yakima MegaWarrior for Yakima EasyRider Trailer
  You can add more extensions to the 74" x 48" Yakima MegaWarrior Extra Large Roof Rack Cargo Basket # Y07080-82 but for each additional extension you're going to need another crossbar. Since another extension # Y07082 will put the MegaWarrior # Y07080-82 at 96" x 48" and the outside lower bars of the EasyRider # Y08129 are about 81" apart so I wouldn't add any more than that.

• Can You Use the Yakima HD Crossbar On a Rack and Roll Trailer
  No. 78" Long Yakima HD bars # Y01159 cannot be mounted on the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08107. The Rack and Roll trailer is only designed to be used with round crossbars. If you're looking for a kayak carrier that has a higher capacity and comes with the HD bars the Yakima Easy Rider # Y08129 is what you're looking for. The EasyRider is a double-decker trailer that gives you 2 levels of storage, plus the built in shocks on the trailer provide you with added cushioning to protect your...

• Roof Rack to Carry 4 Kayaks on a 2019 Toyota Highlander
  The best option for being able to carry 4 kayaks on the roof of your 2019 Toyota Highlander is to use an aftermarket roof rack with the Thule Stacker # TH830 like you've been told. The adapters that you have seen are for different roof rack setups and wouldn't really do you any good (plus they'd add height to your current setup). A most cost-effective alternative to the Thule and Yakima options comes from Rhino-Rack. I think you were hinting that you have the naked roof with fixed mounting...
