Aluminum RV Luggage Racks
Summary: High quality aluminum RV luggage racks offer convenience and easy access to your luggage. The racks help you “make room” in the interior of your RV for more important things. These sturdy aluminum racks are a great way to make the most of your RV’s roof.
Aluminum RV luggage racks are for more than just getting a bit more storage space out of your RV, they’re to make the most of your space and help you feel like you’re at home when you’re on the road. They can make the most of unused RV roof space and free up interior storage.
A good aluminum rack luggage rack offers a sturdy base for plenty of RV accessories. A place to store luggage, bikes, beach gear and anything else you need for your second home.
RV
racks are often paired with some type of a ladder system. Either as
a single unit or a more sturdy steel version. The ladder system offers
one of the keys to a good luggage rack system – safety. We’ve
all seen people with their luggage strapped to the top of their cars
or campers. Tied down with bungee cords stretched to the breaking point.
Don’t risk your things – and most importantly your life
and limb by trying to save a few dollars when it comes to a rack.
You can also opt for a hitch hall carrier in place of the traditional aluminum RV luggage rack. Usually seen smaller units, these racks can make it challenging to get a sense of where the back of your RV is when backing.
One of the most versatile luggage racks is actually a roof basket. We point this one out because many baskets of this type are great for lighter items, but not for heavy hauling. This unit combines an aluminum rack, some steel components and a bit of fiberglass. This basket comes from JC Whitney, one of the aluminum rack leaders.
The Top Line Company offers the most traditional roof rack system: The Universal RV Roof Rack. The Universal fits any make, model or year of RV with a customizable fit. Made from 1” tubing, these units mount to almost any RV and motorhome. The high quality aluminum rails are dipped in a corrosion resistant finish that will proteck the aluminum rack for a long time – even in seaside communities. This aluminum rack adjust from 90-94” wide, plenty of room for luggage, bikes or anything else you’d like to take along.
Another interesting luggage carrier is offered by Packmaster. These aluminum rv luggage racks are shrouded in a high-impact plastic. This plastic offers weather resistant storage in a variety of sizes – from 10-25 square feet of rack space. While you’re loading your luggage, you can trust the Packmaster’s heavy duty gas cylinders that will hold the lid open while you store your gear. Packmaster units also make an effort to limit drag – hopefully not impacting your gas mileage too much.
