We had perfect weather and clear skies for (naked eye) star gazing last week but some knuckle head had his camp-site lit up like a Buc-ee's gas station all night.

Our bikes go on the back bumper of the fiver, and the kayaks go on the roof. We got short kayaks (8'-5" Lifetime "Hydros 85") to make sure we had clearance. Probably not the kayak you'd want for white water rapids, but plenty of fun for a couple of old farts on the lake. In case you're wondering, that's a Menabo "Delta" roof rack and generic cradles, about $275 all in. It won't hold as much weight as a Thule or Rhino, but another benefit of the Hydros kayaks is they only weigh 40 pounds each. I was skeptical when I bought the rack, but pleasantly surprised to find out it's made in Italy with good materials. The only thing I didn't like was the painted steel clips, so I glued some tool chest drawer liner to the underside of those to avoid scratches. Links as follows:

I am recovering from another back operation last week and we are in between trailers. If I have a good recovery we will probably jump back in. Our last unit was a 2018 Rockwood and we were very happy with it.
Thanks,
Bob

Thanks for the detailed post and especially the side picture. That’s very helpful. I could probably do the same on my SC with the 8’ bed. We would only be carrying one kayak for her.

First time pulling since I converted to the Gen 3 20k Reese Goosebox. Between the shocks and air bags on the hitch to the air bags on the truck, it rode like a dream! I didn't expect my wife to notice a difference since she's so disconnected when it comes to those things, but she said she 100% could notice a difference.
Wish I had got a picture of everything clean. This pic was taken right before I detailed the whole rig and then of course it rained on the way to Gatlinburg.
