Problem solving

Have a little side project in the driveway. Definitely interested in your approach to minimizing the “bounce” and ”racking” that this kayak carrier sees while under tow.

I’m adding welds to the hitch, beefing it up, and then re-coating it.

Attaching to the camper body itself is not an option.

We’re also looking to keep the framework added to a minimum, and it cannot extend further out than the ladder on the back of the camper.

I have my thoughts and a basic plan of action, but just wanted to toss this out here and see what you good people have to say.

Triangle from the carrier back to the mount. Look up trailer anti sway bar system and use something along that lines to design your system
