Nice set up Terry.

That should make it easier for you.

Is there any movement in the rack and Kayak when your driving along?

Zippy, the anser is no. The rack comes complete with attachment straps for the bow and stern of the kayak. I also used a strap around the kayak to the roof bars just in case. But overall it takes the weight very well. terry

Good set up , especially useful after a long day I would imagine.

How much and where from??

[terry1956]

Hi martin, its from the USA. Some thule dealers have it listed in the UK but it is not available. The cost of the rank was 220 pounds, it was on offer and I don,t pay import tax. a lot of money but worth it for saving my back. terry

Very nice bit of kit, need to find new roof bars for the van that will take something like that, need to be able to get a pair of yaks on the roof and my existing bars mounted to the Pop Top won't take the weight, well the roof wouldn't take the weight Plus I'm fed up with going up and down a ladder.

SM you should have said "Plus I'm fed up with going up and down a ladder with a kayak on my head" Pretty impressive feat I can tell you.
