For your Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer # Y08107. I recommend the Yakima MegaWarrior Extra Large Roof Rack Cargo Basket - Steel - 74" Long x 48" Wide # Y07080-82. It can fit the 48" crossbar spread you're needing without requiring a third crossbar for support and accepts any Yakima mount accessory that works with a crossbar spread of 41" to help you haul additional recreational equipment. With this cargo carrier you can use the Yakima KeelOver Rooftop Canoe Carrier with Tie-Downs - Universal Mount # Y04069 to secure your canoe.

I've attached some videos that will offer some additional information and let you get a good look the functionality of these products.

The brown (running light) wires all run to each other as they carry the same circuit. The reason there is two browns on the trailer side is because there are running lights that are on both sides of the trailer. Aside from that all the rest of the…
