I used this to transport 4 kayaks (2 Kevlar, 2 plastic) and 2 kayaks and 2 paddle boards (stacked). This trailer is very versatile, breaks down easily for storage, you can literally hang it on the wall when you're done! This has been stored indoors, washed after each use and wash meticulously assembled with calibrated torque wrenches. It is a dream to trailer, you don't even know it's there, rides smooth thanks to the upgraded shocks. It is a conversation piece wherever you paddle!

Per the manufacturer:

Yakima 8008107 Rack and Roll personal gear trailer is lightweight, anodized aluminum, elegant, and the most convenient way to carry your big sporting gear. This 78" wide high-performance sport trailer takes style and performance to a whole new level. Its sleek profile will look classy behind any vehicle. The Rack and Roll is changing the way outdoor gear is carried and comes equipped with 78" Yakima RoundBars. Haul long, bulky gear including kayaks, canoes, windsurfers, sailboats, cargo boxes, bicycles, and more. Unlike a roof rack, the 78" Rack and Roll trailer is easily accessible for simple loading and unloading. With the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer, your gear is always visible. You'll have that piece-of-mind that your gear is always secure and safe while driving. The wheels and tongue of the Rack and Roll Trailer can be easily removed in seconds so that the trailer may be stored upright against your garage wall or in the rafters. Rack and Roll trailers come standard with 5-spoke wheels and black hubcaps. The 78" Rack and Roll Trailer tows 250lbs with its stock suspension. With the optional Heavy-duty Shocks, it can tow up to 350 lbs (sold separately). Built-in key locks prevent theft of the wheels. Locks and Keys are included. When not being towed, the carrying handle turns your lightweight trailer into a hand cart. Although several Rack and Roll Trailer accessories and upgrades are available, please consider a Rack and Roll Standard 5-Spoke Spare Tire for your safety and convenience (sold separately).
