Re: [Paddlewise] Caravan as Kayak rig

I used to use a Plymouth Voyager, and then used a Chevy Tahoe. I much prefer my SportsRig trailer. I can pull it behind my Honda del Sol, or the Tahoe. I usually use the Honda for fun driving and the gas mileage, but if I need hauling ability I still have the top of the Tahoe and the inside, and I don't have to lift the kayaks and take a chance on dropping it and/or banging the car. The trailer uses regular roof rack hardware and can carry bikes, boats, small stuff in big Rubbermade boxes, etc. It "drafts" behind your vehicle and doesn't effect mileage the way the boats on the roof do.

Fair winds and happy bytes,
