I'm trying to get an idea if it's feasible to transport my 13' Wenonah Fusion canoe on something like a Yakima Overhaul HD truck bed rack while also hauling my 16' travel trailer.

Any input would be greatly appreciated

I haul my kayak around all the time and I can't say for sure about a canoe but I don't think its something I would try.

It might not clear the travel trailer depending on how much overhang you have. At 18’, my kayak wouldn’t clear a TT.

Thank you for the photo...

The theory I have of how it might work would be to use canoe blocks on the bow gunwales resting on one or more of the soft top bars or more likely the solid portion near the windshield, most of the weight (30lb) would be situated on the Yakima Overhaul HD, additionally if I need more clearance I would use blocks on the cross bars as well.

But this is of course a theory as I don't have the Yakima rack.
