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.

Hey Steven, I was able to find out that the center cap part number you mentioned is for a 3.75 inch diameter wheel pilot hole so for a suitable replacement we carry the #KE95JV which would work great. Did yours break or did they fall off?

The maker of your trailer is really the only reliable source for its specifications and capacities. In my research on the Wells Cargo website I too was unable to find any roof details about your trailer other than that the aluminum roof on the 6 x 10…
