The Hullavator can be problematic on top of the Westy or any Vanagon.� For one thing in the lowered position, the cradles are still about 48" off the ground, so depending on the weight of your kayak/canoe/boat, that's a significant physical lift, especially solo.� Secondly, there have been reports that "arms & cradles" when loaded have a tendency to "bounce" into the side of the vehicle, so watch the paint job at minimum. Lastly, it's no small effort to release, rotate and lower a kayak or whatever from the top of a Westy. The separation between the bars and the 8' height of the van with crossbars makes the Hullavator a two person operation and precarious at that.� Not to mention the cost of those things (seriously?)

Pmail me for my Yakima setup with a Yakima Showboat.� And no I'm not a sales rep, just a guy with 60+ year old rotators cuffs.
