I bought one of these kayak carts that has quick release wheels and folds up. I had to "hose clamp" two 48" PVC tubes across the top of it since my H3 is so wide that the tubes on each side were rubbing the wheels. Now it works great! I used it for the first time yesterday and now up and down the big hill leading to Upper Otay is NO PROBLEM!! Once folded the cart lays nicely behind the seat on the H3 with the wheels tucked underneath. I was able to load ALL my gear on the H3 after I strapped it to the cart with 4 bungee cords (I drilled holes in the ends of the PVC tubes to attach the bungees to). Total cost for everything was approximately $75.00. I know I could have built something much cheaper IF I had had the time. I have a couple of old golf carts that I could have modified and a light weight hand truck with pneumatic wheels that also could possible have been reconfigured to work, but I really wanted something with bicycle type removeable wheels so I could take the cart with me on the water and not have to leave it on shore where it could be permanently "borrowed" by someone. Hope this helps you out a little.
