Hey everyone, I have a bit of a luxury problem. On my big lap, I like to carry a fishing kayak but I also have a roof top tent. As lazy as I am, I dont want to remove the kayak everytime when I want to use my roof top tent. So I came up with a rotatable kayak holder.
I figured it might be good to brainstorm a bit before I am going to look for someone who can help me with making one.
The idea I had is that the kayak is resting on a metal H- frame which is rotatable. During driving, the kayak will rest as well on the roof top tent to maximize the weight distribution. When i set camp, i de-strap the kayak ends, rotate the frame and strap it back. All the weight will now be on the H-frame but considering I am not moving, I think that should be fine?

Do you guys think something like this could work or do you have a better idea?
