This is the greatest thing ever! Thanks for such an in depth video
This "Kayaking stuff" is going to a whole new level! Awesome!!!!
Best idea since sliced bread....WoW!
I own a Yakima skyline. The best windows for a tent out there. Its super light and I’ve camped in 40+ winds with tent on my truck and the tent did great. I keep my kayaks on the roof of the truck thanks to the showdown but I’m not getting any younger and the easy rider is beginning to look like an excellent option. Thank you for the review!
Definitely hear ya on that. I have since switched my tent to my truck bed rack by yakima so I don't have to lift as much and can wet launch my kayak
thanks for posting this comprehensive video, very informative! I'm looking to add a RTT to my sailing trimaran kayak trailer, so this was very helpful! I'm a bit debating on whether to setup camp on the RTT trailer, then put the boat on the roof of car to get it launched if driving to a nearby lake, because that way your campsite is still secured (in places where you can't book so no one takes your spot) and also so you don't have to setup/packdown each day, but obv added complexities of roof-topping the boat which adds to effort there.
Glad this helped out. Let us know what you decide. Thanks for dropping a line
Thanks for posting! Very informative!
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent video, thanks guys
Thanks for your support
We like your work. Keep up the great work. 👍
Thank you
Thank you. Very helpful.
Can you share the link of the tire/wheel that was upgraded on the right on? I am doing a super similar thing right now and are scared of the stock tires.
Is there a way I can get info on the right on trailer? For the tires/wheels you have and the rod holder on the setup with the right on trailer.
Thinking of grabbing the easy rider trailer. Do you wet launch with the 360?
The Wind shouldn't be able to close your tent. There is a locking mechanism in the center on both sides, fyi. I built mine with a small utility trailer, ladder racks, rooftop tent. Very cool setup you both have! Thanks
Is there a way to get more info on Jay's tent and kit he used to add tent
You could lengthen the draw bar very easily , makes it easy to reverse as well
Consider swapping the ladder to a telescopic ones. Cheap on Amazon, pretty to modify a mount. That sliding one can be a pain
Great video. I'm leaning towards that trailer since I have a 360 as well.i have a few questions. Are u using any bunks for the 360 or is it just sitting on the bars. Is their enough clearance for a bow mount trolling motor. And is their enough clearance on the back porch for a tackle box like a black pack. Thanks.
No bunks just right on the bars. Never had any issues
Sick I want this for my future setup. When I start doing Traveling tournaments I want to have a camping setup Instead of hotel rooms
Definitely helps the pocket book
Great video guys
Thank you!
Great comparison. How much room do you each have between the tops of your kayaks and the support bars above? Is there any advantage to the higher platform? Thanks.
On the Yakima I have to take the seat off my Nucanoe as it won't fit under the bars with it on, it does have a quick release bracket, however there are some kayaks that will fit on under that bar. On the right on trailer anything will fit under the upper bar, however with the tent being so high the trailer is slightly top heavy compared to the yakima with the lower wider stance. hope this helps!
Curious how a typical morning goes when you want to wake up and catch the morning bite. Are you close enough to the water that you just wheel your kayak to the water? Or do you have to fold up your tent and drive your trailer to the ramp? It's a sweet set up, but it seems like anything regarding the kayak requires you fold up your tent.
All depends on where you’re at. 4 mins to fold up the tent isn’t that huge of a deal to me. All depends on what you want
I like the tent that you get up in from underneath.
@Paddle N' Fin Network What is the static weight capacity for the right on trailer? Online it just says 300lbs, but I'm not sure that is dynamic and the static could hold more. I'm interested in that trailer for our rooftop tent
Couldn't tell you. You would have to ask right on
i have a kayak trailer and never thought of this i'm obsoletely doing this now
Hey man, what are the trailers you are using? I have a RTT, but need a trailer can can support the weight. Thanks
The shorter one is made by Yakima, and the taller one is made by right on trailers
Great job on the video and also your customization (fishing pole tubes, bigger tires)! Thank you
What type of trailers are you both using ? I'm interested in something similar , and are they good on highways?
The trailer with the Smitty built tent is made by Right On, and the other is Yakima
Both tents are very secure on the trailers.
Sorry about the delay in answering.
@@PaddleNFin Did you have to modify the Right On trailer at all for the tent? I see a Multi Sport option trailer they sell and was wondering if that is what you are using out of the box or if you built a heavier duty frame to support the tent. Thanks!!!
Thought you looked familiar. Here i am looking to build my own trailer for kayaks im looking to purchase and come across this video. Hope the Family is doing good. Would like to get ahold of Tim havent talked to ya'll in years. How can i get in touch? Im in KY now.
Do you have a video on the trailers? How do I get a set up like that?
Which setup would you like to get, and where are you located? We could get you some lists of dealers in your area
The one with the green Kayak what kind of trailer is that you started with?
Right on trailers. rightontrailer.com/?gclid=CjwKCAiAyPyQBhB6EiwAFUuakhYKDZ32MXsXPGkxc60JEKSysxjkXUaWOP5apU9B1SpKF3ZaJiwo7xoCzrMQAvD_BwE
Awesome solution. Are there trailers ready made to carry kayaks and a rtt?
The Yakima is ready to go out of the box
The right in trailer was not. I had to add the upper tier to be able to attach rtt or another kayak.
I have watched this video five times in the last. 24 hours.
Thanks!! Hope it helps
@@PaddleNFin what right on trailer is that if I may ask?
@@PaddleNFin also, where did you get the tiered system for the rooftop tent? I'd love to see a break down of that one in specific on how to build something like this.
@@MrMinnesoda I forget the name of the company but try looking for no weld steel designs. The company was out of Oregon but I'm sure you can find someone more local. The cut and drilled everything for me.
I can’t find a better deal the smittybilt for what it is.
the one behind you on the right is the exact kayak trailer I have pictured in my head. can you please tell me who made it?
Right On Trailer
You'll need to find a metal fabrication company to help with the upper tier design. I looked for no weld systems.
What is the name of the tier system company in Oregon? The heavy duty frame you have the tent on. I need one for my xl smittybuilt tent .
Right on
I honestly forgot since it's been so long but you can do some homework online. That's how I found them.
The Lord Brian crush’n it!!!
Lol. I don't know about crushing it but thanks brother
Where did you get the U-Bolts for the rod tubes?
Any Home Depot or Menards , Lowe’s should have them
The u bolts come with the conduit kits. You can generally find them at hardware stores and online.
what trailer is the smitty overlander on?
Right on trailer with an after market no weld upper tier system.
only downfall would be if someone hooks up to your trailer to steal your yaks, you're going for a wild ride. That flap at 4:30 is a great feature for an older dude like me who doesn't want to climb down a ladder at 2 in the morning to relieve myself.
We use hitch locks so there no issues with theft.
Bring a piss bottle up with you. It'll save you in the long run.
Ya know if that trailer has a weight limit of 500 lbs how can you have the tent, kayak, gear & yourself in there if it has a weight limit of 500 lbs? I'm highly debating buying this trailer but I'm 260 lbs alone and my kayak is pushing 200 lbs geared so that doesn't leave much room for a tent and extras. Looking forward to your reply.
Which trailer are you referring too?
@@PaddleNFin the Yakima trailer
Remember that if you use stabilizer jacks it takes the weight off the axle and suspension. You should be good if you do that in these smaller trailers.
Love this video!!! #NautiFish
Thanks Bro
I'm selling Yakima tent never been used with racks locks
Soo, the tall guy has the small tent and the shorter guy has the big one. Hmm, yup, makes sense.
Its not the size that matters, its the way you work it lol
More room for electronics and and a hot tub of course...
Why does everyone want to spend so much on kayak accessories. How much does that trailer and tent combo cost? Why not go get a used enclosed trailer and have a more secure spot for your kayak and a dry place to sleep at night with ac as an option
Brian had that exact setup. Trailer weighs 5 times as much, kills gas mileage, and sleeping wasn’t as comfortable. To each their own
Yes the enclosed trailers add a lot of weight but you are right that it would be more secure to an extent. It's really just a choice on what your needs are. There's pros and cons to both choices.
