How to Transport a Canoe in an RV

Canoeing and kayaking are two outdoor activities that go well with vacationing in the wilderness. Driving an RV to your destination can be a fun experience, as well as providing you with the comforts of home while enjoying the great outdoors. The RV was designed for long-distance travel and comfort, and for carrying multiple items to your destination. Transporting outdoor equipment in an RV is quite simple these days with storage compartments and mounted rack systems for carrying equipment such as canoes. Securing a canoe to an RV is a simple process.
