Question:
Rhino Rack OHS Kayak Loader I saw this on YouTube under this title. Installed and used on VW high top camper van. Loads kayak from the rear. I think it may be a Rhino Rack ladder loader adapted to lift a kayak? Am not finding product on your site and no luck thus far finding a place I could purchase one. Could you use your resources and let me know what the situation is. Thanks

I found the item you mentioned online. It is exactly what you thought. It is a ladder loader made by Rhino-Rack for the Australian market. The video shows the carrier using a kayak in the loader. We do not offer this loader in the US. I do have a solution that will work for your VW Camper Van.
I recommend the Rhino-Rack Roof Rack System, part # Y02-490B and the Inno Kayak Lifter Load Assist # INA453.
The # Y02-490B is designed for camper shells and hardtop resin roofs and includes 63-inch long tracks that can be mounted to the roof of your VW.
The Rhino-Rack Side Rail Kayak Loader, part # RRSLH01 attaches to the crossbars on the roof rack and has side rails to help you load the kayak
