Do I need crossbars for a kayak rack?

Question

Accepted Answer

Yes. With crossbars, it is easier to strap the Kayak rack for efficient movement. Vehicles like the SUV usually have the crossbars pre-installed. It would be almost impossible to install the kayak rack without the cross rails.

The Kayak is a bulky sports equipment. Attaching it on the SUV or RV without crossbars will not be possible as it will likely slip off.

On some rare occasions, you can move the Kayak without the crossbar. For example, if you stay close to the ocean or river, you can run along without a crossbar.
