Question:
2014 Chevrolet 2500 HD Crew Cab I need help on the best set up for hauling my Kayaks on the roof of my truck while pulling a fifth wheel camper. Already have a hitch on front of truck for a TBar which I suspect I will need. Kayaks are 10 and 11 ft. and are 32 wide at widest point. I would imagine the easiest way to load will be from the bed but Im open to suggestions.

Looks like you've done your research! Since you have that front mount hitch on your 2014 Chevy Silverado 2500 you can utilize the Rhino-Rack T-Load # RTL002 and then use their single crossbar system on your cab:
54" Vortex Aero Crossbar - # RRVA137B
2500 Series Feet - # RRRLKVAH
Fit Kit - # DK227H
For a kayak carrier I recommend 2 of the Malone SeaWing # MPG107MD. This is a saddle style carrier so you'll have the kayaks laying flat. You should be able to space them out enough to fit both kayaks this way.
A lot of people like using the T-Load to help load their kayak but since you're using it for 2 of them you would only be able to use it to load 1 of them. I think you're correct about loading them from the truck bed so to make this easier I recommend picking up the Malone Channel Loader # MAL48FR as well.
