Towing / packing ideas...

[101110101101]

I have a canoe, and just recently bought an older TigerShark with it's own trailer. In my head I imagined bringing both on any trip I might make camping/fishing/to the lake.....

To bring my canoe I have a rack that elevates the back end, using my receiver (like the picture). If that is the case (going from memory) how can I bring the canoe and Tigershark, when they both need the same receiver? I hate putting the canoe in the box and having it rest over the cab of the truck...

How else can I do this? Ideas? I was hoping the bottom of the canoe rack had a "pass-through" receiver so I could still connect the trailer, but I don't think it does.



Thanks

Princess Auto has the receiver you need - works great for what you want to use it for

Bet you don't get out of there for only 65 bucks!

LOL I was thinking the exact same thing! Same goes for COSTCO.

A bunch of these on the Web for under 100 bucks if you Google ladder rack. Or if would be really easy to make one out of wood that pops in your stake pockets, it doesn't take much to support a canoe.

I would build you a receiver that holds that mount.

Appreciate that. I have seen them and thought of something similar, but I have tie-down hooks in all my "pockets". I could take them in and out, but in the end it's probably just easier to get that dual hitch receiver.

Good to know for future reference... but it's going to be hard to beat something I can buy for $65. Maybe if we were neighbors I'd take you up on that, for a flat of beer or something I wish I had the skills to fabricate **** like that.

Yeah your pic wouldn't load for me the first time. If you already have a support and the trailers light then a dual hitch should work just fine/be the easiest.
