boat mounted on-top of camper trailer

A lot depends on your all up weight. I have a 4.1m composite boat and ally trailer on top of my Kimberley, and that weighs approx 115kg. I tried adding the 15hp Yamaha to it which weighs 36kg, and it became too heavy to lift it to the point of equilibrium so it would go over to the side and even with a small winch it was too heavy to get it back over onto the trailer without bending the boat loader frame and winch post. Mine works great with a lift up and then I let the winch rope out so the boat and boat trailer go over slowly. I then winch it over to the point where I can pull it down into position on the trailer to lock it down. The 120kg or thereabouts is the maximum weight a single person and the KK can handle.

The KK boat loader is one of the best available on C/Trailers in my view, so I suggest you have a look at one regarding construction, size of struts, design, etc.

Hi David,
We have a Kanga (Big Red) camper trailer with a gas strut lift boat rack that pivots, this sounds like what you are after, check out there web site for more pics.

Note: on the kanga the rack load limit is 80KG
