Re: [Paddlewise] Dodge Caravan

Joe

Start off with www.yakima.com and use their fit list. 
Without knowing your Caravan's year and specific
features [factory rack, etc.], it's hard to tell at
this end what would work and what wouldn't.

I own an SUV and use a Yakima rack -- double-cross
towers with 66" crossbars and two saddle pairs [the
old style].  Works great!  Never had any problems! 
[Though there have been some comments on this list
about Yakima crossbars that wouldn't tighten down.]

For the Caravan [owned one a few years back], I
believe the double-cross towers will work with a
factory rack.  And with them, you might want to
consider using a pair of mako saddles and a pair of
hully rollers [in the rear] due to the van's height. 
Certainly would make the process easier if you're
solo.

Good luck!

Just a thought ...  And of course, there's always
Thule racks as well [www.thule.com].
