I am interested in ideas one how to load and unload a canoe on my camper with a factory roof rack. The specs are simple...I have to do it alone and I want to keep the lifting to a minimum.

Step One: get a carbon fiber - kevlar canoe, weight under 40lbs.
I found it useful to wrap the roof rack with duct tape saves scratching the gunnels as I slide it up.
With the canoe stuck over my head in the usual portage position it is easy to lean it up against the rear rack and it slides up easily after that

I would highly reccomend a lighter canoe though. Alum. weighs about 75 lbs. You can get some cheaper ploy ones in the neighborhood of 55lbs. The kevlar is nice at 40 lbs., but it will cost you $2000-$2500 for the boat.
Good luck
