We have just the one kayak for demo purposes but basically with the Thule Stacker # TH830 you would have 2 kayaks on their sides on each side of the uprights. I have included a picture out of the instructions to illustrate this.

Additional tie downs will be needed, # 853-5466 and # 753-2030-02.

Will the Nissan nv3500 carry 4 kayaks

This depends somewhat on the width of your kayaks (in relation to the width of the NV3500's roof crossbars) but I would imagine there's enough space to work with on a larger vehicle like this. Do you already have a roof rack setup installed? If not, I would be happy to recommend a specific system to use with the Thule Stacker # TH830 if you can tell me its model year.

@ChrisR I have a Chrysler Aspen with side rails but not crossbars. What should I get in order to transport 3 28” wide kayaks? Thank you

@JenW For your Chrysler Aspen the Malone # MPG216 is a really good crossbar option that gives you plenty of space for the kayaks. Then for the carrier itself I like the Thule Stacker # TH830, which can secure up to 4 kayaks on their sides.

I have a Nissan Rogue 2018 and am getting Cargo Loc roof top bars for it. Would the Thule Stackers work?

I have an 04 Toyota Sienna with the original roof rack that does have cross bars. I have two sit-on-top kayaks that are about 28" wide. Would the Stacker work with this? Would I need to get more specialized crossbars?

As long as the factory roof rack features a sufficient weight capacity for your two kayaks (check your owner's manual) they will work just fine to mount the Thule Stacker # TH830.
