Kayaks carried on side of van?

[Eraygunz]

Hi
I was wondering if any one has ever carried a kayak on the side of their Roadtrek?
I installed some D rings just under my awning. They seem very secure and stable.
Thinking of carrying my kayak on the side of the van bottom side out.
Would still be able to use front passenger door. Double side doors would not be usable.
Should still be under the Max. width allowable?
Am I forgetting about something important? This seems like it would be way easier,than roof mounting.
I can not find a photo of a Yak being carried this way? I must be over looking something?
Don't want to do any thing that might be dangerous ? Or risk damage to van or kayak.
If you have any suggestions,please let me know.
Thank you
Eddie
