Hi All I found this group trying to figure out how a yet to be purchased CRV would haul my kayaks around. Lots of useful posts!! See Ive been an Outback driver for quite a few years but Ive lost confidence, and this new H4?? well thats a different topic... so Im looking hard at the crvs 2016 and newer. And liking what Im seeing, and hearing from crv owners. Any tips and advice as I proceed would be much appreciated. Thanks all!

Here's one option. Scroll down in the link to view the customer photos....there are several kayak photos. It's now on sale for $250. I don't have kayaks but do have the trailer. Handy as a pocket on a shirt, folds up out of the way, stores in the garage.

1195 lb. Capacity, 48-5/8 in. x 96-1/4 in. Heavy Duty Folding Trailer

Amazing deals on this 1195Lb Heavy Duty Folding Trailer at Harbor Freight. Quality tools & low prices.

I only use half of the trailer for now.

I gather you may be looking for using a roof rack assembly for holding two kayaks, rather then towing them on a trailer, yes/no?

Yes. I like my roof rack. They come on.all outbacks, but not so much CRVs.

Yeah.. the Roof rails only come standard on a Touring if I recall, but can be added to any trim level for the cost of parts and installation by a Honda Dealer. There are also some 3rd party choices other then Honda OEM, and do it yourself additions are not difficult if you are handy with installing accessories on a vehicle.

Then adding cross racks and attaching various mounts for cargo holders, bike racks, kayaks, skis, etc is pretty much like the stock Subaru offerings.

Ill look at the touring editions. Im leary of racks put on afterwards, having three seperate issues with these coming off (not me personally, but unnerving!). Thank you.
