Expert Reply:
When you need to transport kayaks or canoes on a truck that's already towing a 5th wheel trailer or carrying a slide-in camper, often the best solution is to install a front-mount hitch and a load extender like the Erickson # EM07605. This is a steel load support bar for 2-inch hitches.
You can use this in a front hitch like # 65050, for example, which fits a 2010 Silverado 2500.
