I have also used the Yakima high tower rain gutter mount with an extra set of spacers to clear the Westy roof, which you now may have to order directly from Yakima. Used it for the last 10 years to carry one or two canoes, plywood, beds, etc., works great and very strong. Now I am building two stitch and glue kayaks from Pygmy Boats and will add the Yakima roller and saddle system for them. I'm also considering a trailer from Magneta. These are really nice--you can carry two canoes or kayaks, two bikes, and even mount a clamshell carrier on it if you want. The trailer is around $600, but the convenience of not having to stow and remove all the gear from inside or on top of the van every night when traveling and camping would be worth it. http://magnetatrailers.com http://yakima.com http://pygmyboats.com -- Stuart MacMillan Seattle '84 Vanagon Westfalia w/2.1 '65 MGB (Daily driver since 1969) '74 MGB GT (Restoring sloooowly) Assisting on Restoration (and spending OPM): '72 MGB GT (Daughter's) '64 MGB (Son's) Stripped and gone but their parts live on: '68 MGB, '73 MGB, '67 MGB GT
