: Depending on the kind of popup- the roof may or may not be able to
: handle the weight. It's one of those things, many people have
: done it, some have never had issues - other have had nothing but
: problems. I have a Coleman pop-up with a roof in the middle of
: the years that were problematic for Coleman. I won't even
: consider putting the kayaks on top.

: Same with adding a hitch to the back of the pop-up. People have
: done it - some claim no issues, some claim many issues and many
: more claim it's a bad idea due to decreasing the hitch weight on
: the vehicle.

: The kayaks go on top of the truck - no the question is how. I have
: a friend who has racks on top of her Tacoma without issue. She
: has a little fold-up step stool that she normally avoids using
: (in lieu of just stepping up on the tires and the door w/ it
: open). The ladder rack is probably the simplest idea.
: Thule/Yakima racks on the cab are another.

: I'm having the same conundrum - only I'm looking at BIG trucks and
: a fifth wheel (so I won't have a truck bed).

yep, the middle trailer would loose a lot of tongue weight and become hazardous! I bet your big 5th wheel would be just fine though (?) I think I've seen rigs with the boat above the front end. good luck with your quandary.
