Abstract
A rack for a recreational vehicle having a rear portion formed with a longitudinal sill at each side. The rack comprises spaced first and second runners adapted to be located on the longitudinal sills of the rear portion of the vehicle. A plurality of load-bearing members extend upwardly and across the vehicle between the first and second runners. Any load carried by the load-bearing members acts downwardly on the sills which are well able to carry considerable loads.
