Anyone use a Sprinter Van to transport their kayak?

Sprinter Vans in my opinion are too tall for hullivator use.
That has back injury written all over it for loading and unloading.
I've been using them for about 6 years now on my Silverado's shell.
I would recommend seeking a safer option for a vehicle that tall.

Thank you for your suggestions.  My preference would be fit inside the van but. I am not sure how to fit a Hobie Oasis inside.
I have approximately 5 years to come up with the best option.

Our retirement goals are to purchase a small house at Oceanside and get a Sprinter Van.  Plan use the van to come up to NorCal for camping/fishing trips.  My wife is set for the Sprinter Van.
Maybe I can buy a used Amazon Prime deliver van and convert it into simple camping van/Oasis kayak carrier.

A sprinter will easily pull a lightweight kayak trailer, set it up so all your gears secured on the trailer. Set up the sprinter as a custom camper... win-win!

Tellin ya, the 170 WB is the way to go.  Jake Traba travels the country in his and can sleep in it and have two hobies stacked on each other if he wants to.  send him a PM - trabajake

I am trying to avoid pulling a trailer due to the reduced speed limit and more difficult to drive.

Understandable, although being retired you’ll find you got WAYnore time to get there so no more need to go faster.

Was wondering if you can fit a Revo 13 in a 2500 type sprinter van if it goes past the front seat area.

Here is your the answer to your question but you have to tilt you head sideways.   

Dang that setup looks sweet!  Been debating towing a small trailer, or going with some sort of Van.  That really looks like you can transport and sleep stealthily in it.

dog looks happy..

nifty setup 

I have an Ezrack.
It can be used on a van. See

Wife and I love our Pleasureway XLTS. We put two Hobie inflatables in their suitcases on a Pakmule carrier. Retiring Feb 20222!
