Kayak carrier - over the cab on Ram 3500

Advice
#1

I’m looking at the Thule Hullavator and the best way to mount it on my Ram 3500. It needs to go over the cab as we pull a fifth wheel trailer. Wondering if anyone has put one on a pickup cab and/or if anyone has had experience with a American Rack - Fifth Wheel Truck Cab Rack using the Hullavator?



Thanks in advance for any helpful feedback.

here is my set up

I also have a front receiver hitch installed with a "goal post" style extension I got from Northern Tool. I did have to extend the tube on the goal post to make it so the boats ride level.
The rear (bed) rack is removable when the fifth wheel is attached. I built the roof top brackets out of aluminum and they are bolted to the roof using Dzuz fasteners, so they are very strong.

It is a lot easier to load the boats over the cab once we drop the trailer, so that is my primary boat hauling method. We can haul four 16' to 18' boats.
