Best Way to Haul a Porta-Bote with a 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500 Crew Cab

Question:

What would be the best way to haul a 12 ft Port a bote with a 2015 Chevy 2500 crew cab pickup. It doesnt have roof racks. When the bote is folded for hauling it is 12.5 ft long, 2 ft wide and approx. 6 inches thick, it weighs 70 lb. We pull a bumper pull camper as well. Thanks

I recommend using the Rhino-Rack T-Load Hitch Mounted Load Assist and Support Bar for 2" Hitches - 49" Long
Item # RTL002 with a Rhino-Rack Aero Bar Roof Rack for Camper Shells - Track Mount - Black - Standard - 54" Long # Y02-480B and a Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" Item # 65078. This set-up would allow you to haul your Porta Bote and still pull your campter.

You will also need a pin and clip like # PC3.

I have included video reviews for you to check check out.

If you want to skip the front hitch you could use the Curt Dual 2 inch Receiver Tube Adapter # D-192. This part will allow you to haul both your camper and your load assist with your rear hitch.
