What is the longest adjustable length? I have 6ft of bedroom with tailgate down. I need to support 14ft kayak.

I'd have to measure to know exact length. With my 8' bed (with tailgate down) and the extender all the way out there is probably about 1.5' to 2' hanging off the extender.

My kayak is 15 foot RTM Tempo. You might want to get the optional longer tongue for a 23 foot kayak. I have a picture of it on this page http://kayaking.floridaoutdooradventures.info/kayak-trailer/

I have an inflatable Kayak that is 15 ft. long.. I took a piece of conduit and had it bend like a hook slightly smaller than my pontune (I can't spell) so when when inflated it would hold it in place. The cable for the transducer was fed inside the conduit up throgh the hook then to the battery, it works for me...

I'd recommending reading through a variety of tips from the many sources available on the internet. A lot of factors go into "correct" length, including your body configuration, the width of your kayak, the type of paddling you do, and on and on. For instance, I prefer a short paddle (220 cm) with big blades for moving water, but need to use a longer (230 cm) paddle for flat water. If I went to a 240 cm paddle for flat water, tracking would be a problem.This is indeed a non-answer-sorry about that-so I'll just say that my flat-water preference would be to error on the long side, and for moving water, error on the short side.And by the way, my Magic Plus is great.

About 18" max. If you only use the hooksThe kit comes with straps that attach to the hook. With straps at least 24 inches to ceiling I have 8 foot garage ceiling. By attaching to straps -one end to loop other end to loop holding buckle I can get 6 feet between floor & bottom of kayak If you can't attach kayak to hooks only. You need to play with with harness straps to get max height.

Hi Thomas, YES, I loaded 45' long, 12' high, etc into our RV5365T-LMB. I wondered why it routed us one exit past our desired camp location. After arriving at KOA camp we headed into town and took the shorter route. Ahhhhh... there was the problem... R/R bridge with only 11' 6" clearance. So it works...

We haul our 12' kayaks and 12' Jon boat with no problems, I doubt you'd have any difficulty rigging it for a 14-footer. The frame has many pre-installed holes to which framing could be attached. It's a very sturdy and versatile little trailer.

It should work fine. A 14' long canoe will not be an issue. The straps are quite long (91" per another review), so they should work with a 3' beam. If they were short, you could add a short piece of rope between the end of the strap and hook.

Our 13' will fit a 13' 2" kayak. Let us know if we can be of any further assistance.

I have owned and used on several awning sizes, I don't see a problem with the 14 ft. By design a deflapper needs to be heavily built to clamp and hold your awning to the frame. Go for a set, they make a huge difference and mount in seconds flat...

It hung WAY low. I modified the system by removing the hook from the pulley and bolting it to a 2x4, I attached the strap to the ends of the 2x4. It creates "D" shape with the straight part of the "D" being the 2x4 with the pulley,and the round part of the "D" being the strap shortened to fit snugly around your kayak. This mod took the kayak 30" closer to the ceiling.

Our kayaks sit between 28 1/2" to about 33" from the ceiling (or the mounting 2x4, depending on the method you use). Since ours are mounted across the ceiling joists we had to use a 2x4 (per the instruction) so add another 1 1/2" to this. If you see our review we noted that we had to use different straps than the one's that come with the mount. This may cause ours to be a little lower. It looks like the new version may have different straps which may work better. The original straps on our 10 foot kayaks would not work; they just slipped of the end. Hope this helps.

It should work just fine. The horizontal piece (that extends from the section attached to a wall) is about 12 inches long. When including the diagonal piece with the horizontal piece, the entire arm length is about 16-17 inches. If you find that the storage arm is a little tight with your kayak, secure the storage arm closer to the bow and the stern of the kayak (where the kayak is more narrow). These things are very sturdy and wow do they save money! Good luck!

Sorry,I don't really know if there is a safe and sound way to do that. I have purchased down rods a long as 60 inches if you need more than that I would go to the Hunter website and pose your particular problem with length and see if they have a solution.Best regards,Michael

I modified the basic kit quite a bit. I put a 10' tongue and a rack to carry a 10' kayak and a 14' canoe. The trailer pulls well at highway speeds with about 400 lbs. Recommend you remember to tighten the lugs

It will depend on the length of your canoe or Kayak and height of the your vehicle. I have a 4x8 trailer, pulled by a truck with a cap and haul 13 foot kayaks. It gives me about a foot and a half clearance. With a 4 x 6 trailer and the same vehicle, 12 foot boats may be the max.

I have the 16-18 foot version for a 16 foot modified v-hull with outboard. There is a 14-16 foot version but I opted for the larger to easily use a support system for it. I was afraid the smaller would be too tight or not cover sufficiently.Based on that i'd say a 12-14 foot size would work. But you may want to look at all the models available before deciding as I did.
