Anyone have any advice for carrying kayaks on a Westy?  Ideally, I'd like to
use Yakima racks, as I already have made that investment.

Tom,
I make a carrier for the rear door of the Vanagon which can be used with
Yakima or Thule accessories.
I just finished one for a list member who wants to carry kayaks and bikes.
For his I made a couple of
Kayak stackers - removable tubes which hold the kayaks on edge.

My carrier simulates having "bar type" roof racks mounted on the back door
of your van.  You can carry up to four bikes, or two bikes and kayaks.
