How do you go about transporting 2x 10 ft kayaks on an rv or motorhome?

No roof rack. Was thinking of using nutserts and eywbolts for strapping it down. Of course sealing it with caulking/rubber washer to avoid leaks.
The WD and I have inflatable paddleboards, so it alleviates your problem above, but I've seen quite a few trailers that will stand the kayaks on their nose in a special (re: homemade) adapter that fits into a receiver hitch on the back of the unit. Then the kayaks ride vertically behind the RV unit, allowing the RV to block and deflect the wind. Depending on the length of the kayak, only the top 2-3 feet encounters wind. The kayaks are tied off at the top of the RV.

Google "RV kayak transport" and look at the images - you'll get the idea.
