I thought it was a unique way to carry a rack on a camper. And those straps ... right place, right time. I paid $5 each for them *AT* Havasu *AFTER* Fred showed me the rack and I started trying to figure out how to carry it. Those straps are 2" wide, very long, and have a super-heavy-duty ratcheting mechanism. The T-Shirt guy had them in a box all weekend for $5 each and no-one bought them. New, they would probably be around $50 each. I used them to transport mt Jeep on a U-Haul car-hauler because the tires are too big to use the built-in straps. The suspension on the Jeep is good and I actually made it "squat-down" about an inch cranking on those ratchets.

Are those VW factory tie-downs on that rack?
