Kayaks on side of motorhome?

As long as you don't want to put an awning on the other side.

I am led to believe max width has nothing to do with it.

It's all about how far they protrude outside the edge of the bus.

Aljenau - Yes, everything is wrong with your idea of carrying kayaks on the side of the bus.

1. These will be classed as a "projecting load". Loads are not allowed to project more than 150mm from the main part of the body work. (mirrors aren't counted)

2. If your vehicle is modified by the addition of rails and brackets to the body work, your vehicle will have to undergo inspection to ensure it complies with the relevant ADR's (where applicable) or the Motor Vehicle Standards applicable in the state where the vehicle is registered.
Projecting additions added to bodywork after the vehicle has been inspected, measured, and registered, are not approved.

You have to imagine all the conditions you may encounter with this modification - particularly travelling at night. Other motorists expect bodywork to protrude evenly each side from the headlight or clearance light positions, and may misjudge your vehicle width in passing at night, and collide with the projecting kayaks.

All vehicles that are ADR compliant need to have front, side, and rear clearance lights fitted if they exceed 2.1M in width.
All non-ADR compliant vehicles need to have clearance lights fitted if they exceed 2.2M in width.

Thank you all for this - back to the drawing board for me
