Mounting a Kayak Rack on an Enclosed Trailer Solution

Question

Question:

Hello - We have a 6x10 enclosed trailer that we haul our motorcycle in. We have two kayaks - 9.5 and 10.5 in length that we need to carry as well. This will be hauled behind a 32 foot Class C RV. With that in mind, wind resistance is less of an issue. Do you have something that we can mount to put the kayaks on the roof? Or should we just bite the bullet and get a larger trailer and put everything inside. The bike is large - Harley CVO with saddle bags and all.
