Abstract: Disclosed is a vehicular roof rack that is adapted for reducing wind noise. It includes left and right pedestals for attachment to the vehicle and extending above a roof of the vehicle. It further includes an elongated crossbar extending between the left and right pedestals and above the roof of the vehicle, the crossbar having a leading edge, a trailing edge, and a profile along substantially all of its length, the profile including a smoothly curved envelope with no outwardly protruding portions extending outside of the smoothly curved envelope and with at least one step-down groove that is inside of the smoothly curved envelope and located nearer to the leading edge of the crossbar than to the trailing edge. The step-down groove may be on the top, the bottom, or both sides of the crossbar. The pedestals may include step-down grooves that substantially align with the step-down groove of the crossbar.

Abstract: A Camper Truck Tent for detachably mounting on a pickup truck, consisting of front and rear mounting supports attached to the truck cargo box sidewalls, various tent poles attaching the folded out tent to the mounting supports, erecting means for folding out the tent and two beds placed inside the erected tent. When dismantled, all these components occupy minimum space. The tent itself is stored in a self-contained pouch on the cargo box floor, the mounting supports in an envelope integral with one bed and the tent poles in an envelope integral with the second bed. The stored components are close to the cargo box floor and out of sight of the truck driver. Several tent pole configurations are available: two main configurations and three alternative configurations. Front and aft erecting means keep the tent folded out. The front means is a front strap secured to the front of the truck or a cramping tent pole. The aft means are aft straps secured to the downed tailgate.

Abstract: A trailer hitch with a receiver that is angularly mountable relative to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle. A separate mount assembly, including a slide bar and a tongue, interacts with the receiver. The slide bar is receivable within the receiver such that the longitudinal axis of the slide bar is substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the receiver. The tongue is mounted to the slide bar and can be adapted to receive a towing accessory or a bicycle support.
