Question:
I am looking for a roof rack for holding 2 kayaks. The kicker is, I am towing a 5th wheel. I know I could tow a trailer behind, but I would probably like a roof rack.

I recommend using the Rhino Rack Roof Rack System that uses parts # RRVA150B-2, # RRRLKVA, # DK415. This will attach to the door jams of your 2019 GMC Sierra 2500 Crew Cab and give you a durable and reliable roof rack system that will allow you to carry your kayaks up top instead of towing them behind a trailer. You can also easily take off and remove this rack when you're not using it, so it's a great choice that provides you with flexibility.
To help secure the kayaks on the roof rack I recommend using the etrailer J-style Kayak Carriers # e98878; you'll need one of them for each kayak and each carrier comes with tie downs and cam buckle straps to help with securing the boats. These carriers can fold up when not in use, and they install easily on a variety of different crossbar shapes, including the # RRVA150B-2.
I've linked some review videos of these parts for you to check out.
